tcbunny: I always wanted to make this story into a comic.*Please understand my bad English.. T_T It’s my second language.*I had a rough time during my 20s. I always had a low self-esteem since high school. But in my 20s, it went even lower.My expectation was too high for my actual skills. But instead of try harder to get better, I lost all my motivations and gave up pursuing art.One day while I was mindlessly surfing the net, I stumbled upon this amazing Korean artist’s blog. In his blog, he also wrote his life stories like a diary. And it shocked me how much he hated himself for being bad at art. And what he wrote was life changing experience for me. (* I can’t find exact quote since I forgot who he was… T_T.) He said “I gave up comparing myself with others. I just want to be better than myself yesterday. Now I feel much happier when I draw.” Why was I torturing myself by comparing with other people?I became an artist because I enjoyed drawing and being creative.I want to have fun again. I want to love what I used to love.From that day, I stop thinking how well others doing. I just thought about what kind of fun things I should draw.And here I am now. I can still say drawing is my favorite hobby. (and also my job. lol) I hope my experience can also help someone who’s feeling the same way I used to feel. Thank you for reading!-TCBunny -- source link
