The pain when you love something you wrote but you have to delete it anyway bc you changed your mind about what you wanted to say.
I don’t know why but it’s impossible for my brain to accept that it’s 2025. I know it was 2024 last year but I still keep thinking we’re in 2026. 🫠

I think you have to learn to love how *you* draw and go deeper into that, rather than thinking there’s only one way to draw well.
