My birthday is tomorrow.

August 17th. The middle of nowhere. Two days after the birthday of Steven Universe, so that's something, if I want to be a total weeb about it.

I haven't written in so long, longer than I would ever like to admit. Where is the spark that had me churning out more than I could handle? Where's that nonsense that passed for pornography, the wonderful perversion of the 21st century underground, the things that kept me alive?

It didn't keep me alive. Who am I kidding? It's all just frivolous, sort of, in the same way that all art is frivolous. Maybe it means more to someone than it does to someone else. Maybe it touches them in ways that they like to be touched. I can't speak for how art affects others, because I'm not even sure how it affects me. At this point, I won't be the one to come out with a meaning or a method to my madness, and I don't owe one to anyone, dammit.

Who cares. I feel good, sort of, with the exception of intrusive thoughts. Comes with the territory.

I just wish that I could feel the same that I felt then. Maybe I could make more for y'all than...this. This crap. Sigh.

Love y'all.

Have you tried rereading some of you work?

Go back and maybe rewrite out a different ending, make things a little weird.

Although if you really want to write I'd say.. Pick a character and so something to them, let them show you were they are going and how they survived, or didn't.

hey dude.  I like you. I don't like you beating yourself up. intrusive thoughts are rarely welcome. None of what you write is garbage. Everything any artist makes looks like garbage to the maker. We also make ourselves. Just as your art isn't garbage you are not garbage. Accept the flaws in your work. Nothing made by man is perfect.

It is fine that you are not perfect. As you grow you will always see something you lack. This is nothing bad. It is simply a map for a possible future. For the fact you see a fault in yourself means you are good. Be happy that you are good.

Be happy. Follow the path before you. Accept  that you are as you are and choose to become the person you wish to be. But most of all forgive yourself for not being perfect.  Forgive your art as well.
