The Darkside of Japan
If I were super ambitious and crazy about psychology, maybe I’d consider working as a psychologist in Japan.

I hear a lot of people say that they’re too scared to share their artwork because they fear that ‘pro artists’…or regular viewers will judge their work in a bad way.
No.
Most artists I know spend more time critiquing the crap out of their OWN work. Honestly, why would they care to nit pick the creation of others, unless asked to? That takes so much energy! I’m going to assume most ‘pro artists’ draw because they have some amount of passion invested in their craft, why on earth would they take the time to discourage a fellow enthusiast’s interest?
If you want to show your work, show your work. You have every right to be proud of what you produce. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Idiotic comments are an inevitable obstacle, and differing opinions and perspectives is a given. However, most people viewing your work are not looking down on you. Really.
Even when I’m not proud~ hahaha
I was doing math homework to further procrastinate on my essay when I started thinking about when the next reading needs to be done for HumCore… And then I started filling out my planner. Started worrying about how busy next week will be.
Then I checked FB to see that someone I’d known in middle school was seriously considering suicide. I spent a few minutes reading her status over again, trying to figure out whether she was joking, or perhaps I’d misread and someone had hacked her account or something.. I rarely see any updates from her. I started thinking about how I haven’t seen nor talked to her in years. I waited to see how her other friends would respond.
And then I spent about 40 minutes writing her a message that, in the end, I had to send through an email. I can’t argue or clearly present my thoughts, so my message probably won’t mean much. Plus I haven’t talked to her in ages, so maybe what I say shouldn’t mean anything. It’s just that.. in light of what happened yesterday with Ismael, whom I didn’t personally know, who didn’t have control over the end of his life.. Here’s someone I’ve actually talked to and laughed with and gotten to know, who is thinking about taking her own life. :(
