the thankful holidays

Posted On 12/15/2009 17:50:42 by lifelikelines

i love the fact that there are people interested in seeing me make something. thank you to anyone who has ever commented on anything i've done.
i find it extremely hard to get anything done in a room by myself while i can hear Call of Duty at top volume in the next room over, or my roomates laughing it up over some tv show together. not to mention neither of them have any intrest in what im doing, and dont ever take the time to comment themselves.
i shouldnt need moral support to do something i love. and the fact that i do makes me wonder if i should be doing it.
i can see the things i want to do in my head very clearly and detailed. construction, with no help or insight, however, degrades them all.
i dont want to walk, when my ideas are running. but not taking the time to walk, is keeping me at a crawl.

im intrested to know if anyone else has/has had this delima. and to you older, wiser folk, am i just being immature with this need of support? i feel i am. but i dont know how to overcome it.

i will be twenty-three this comming year. and as much as i believe you can do anythign at any age(health depending..) i've always heard you need to get a foothold by your mid twenties. this scares me into getting even less done.

thank you all for the comments. and this really is what im thankful for. i have loving parents and all of that that im thankful for everyday. i was recently asked to do an animation for an old accuaintences (sp?) boyfriends band. also very thankful for that. that the people i know care enough to give me a chance.
i really want nothing but animation. this really is what im thankful for.

That's when things become way harder than what you are dealing with now. You are already far ahead of most, and 23 is not old. You have plenty of time.

12/16/2009 00:00:05 I am 22 and what you are going through is probably as same as my experience at the kitchen, at the restaurant, when I talk about puppets it just brings a big laughter. Dont think about your age. Dont think about anything, you are doing great, seriously.

m_) Well, Flemm just said it.

You know what I think, (you should not even care what I THINK)

worrying to do something because of what you are given is probably not the best motivation at doing something.

...as long as you are doing what you THINK you should be doing, go for it. As for your roomates scenario I rather keep the opinion to myself.

--- just being redundant, Flemm was certailny enough but I had to be annoying, I guess.

12/15/2009 23:23:46 Hi there Life, I don't want to seem out of line or anything but perhaps you are too worried about what other people think and not as worried about what you know. If you love it... then DO IT. You can find help, support and insight in plentiful supply at sites like this one. Just keep at it!
