but i will not spend my days in mourning

Postby nightcrawler! » Fri Sep 02, 2022 3:21 pm

today was my first day at my job and it's
so nerve-racking because it feels like
it's the start of my childhood ending

never could have imagined that
rolling burritos would bring me
to an existential crisis yk but
here we are I guess

edit,, wagaga ty for the feature,
sorry to be emo on a
featured post 😭😭

I love the color choices on this drawing sm <3 and your style of detail lining is really balanced throughout - super cool!

idk if you're looking for another perspective / advice but I wrote out a little bit - if you don't want to read it you don't have to, I just figured that if it could be helpful it'd be worth writing out ^^

It's tough moving through life's phases sometimes, I'm sorry if it's difficult for you, but I hope you know that it's completely normal to feel the way you do, and your feelings about it are valid! Any kind of life-changing occurrence, internal or external, can stir up negative or worrying thoughts, but regardless of where you are or what you do, you're still you, and you'll still have choices in which directions you'd like to move in.
One bit of advice from an oldie (lol), sometimes it helps to look at things objectively and try to identify different phases you've been through or phases you may go through in the future. Obv you can't change the past, and people tend to add 'but you can change the future', which is true but doesn't account for the actual application of approaches in the present as much - if you can find time to sort of ground yourself, then in those times it might be easier to see your routes more clearly, and clarity is the master-key to progress!
I'm not sure if this perspective completely applies or is helpful, but I really hope it is in some way ^^' I wish you only the best with your work and all, and if you need someone to message/vent to my inbox is always open ^^

Congratulations on the feature this is a cool color for a canine!

Skip this if you want, just thought I'd also give my two cents because society really likes going from 'you baby' to 'pay taxes' really quickly.
Yes time is inevitable but you can choose to keep your childish sense of fun, wonder, and discovery. (I feel legitimately sad for people who say stuff like 'I'm too old for that now' like what lol. Or the bitter old people..)
Plus almost every adult has no idea what they're doing most of the time. Most of us are just trying our best. I mean, there are benefits to being an adult like you can eat whatever you want anytime, heh.
Your life doesn't have to be suddenly complicated, it's yours to make now. ^^;
I wish you luck and I'm proud of you for starting something new. Good work :3

Aw, I hope your new job gets less nerve-racking <3

All childhoods have to end, sometimes - but they're never forgotten.
That's the only advice I have right now, just keep doing your best at work and it will feel much better soon <3

You deserve to be featured. ^^
