Some common, recurring thoughts:
1. I'm inspired by so much, but nothing can get me to actually put a line on paper.
2. There's not much of a reason to draw when just about everything has already been done before and way better than what I'm capable of.
3. I'm worried that my work will never be original.
4. I can't draw more than five minutes before giving up and moving on to something else.
5. Back between 2015-17, I could actually sit down and study, but now I can't muster the strength to do basic shapes or doodles.
6. I can't shake off all the negative thoughts I'm flooded with even before I try to draw. It's like my brain is conditioned for failure.
7. All my personal work looks the same.
8. I feel like I'm too old for this.
9. I've literally spent more time feeling bad about art than actually trying to improve.
10. If it were really meant to be, I would have made it by now.
I probably left some stuff out, but this sums it up pretty well. I'm waiting for a break in this never ending cycle.

I don't even draw these days. It's sad.

25, and not going to make it.
