I was just looking back at some of my old artwork, mostly from when I was starting to understand Photoshop and I was doing a lot of trades and fan art. I noticed a couple things:

1. The amount of positive feedback I got was amazing! I got several comments per deviation saying the art is "awesome" and "beautiful" and "great anatomy" and stuff. And when I would point out some flaws in the description, people would jump in and say "no it looks great!!"
It's funny cause my art was actually not so great at the time, but it was probably all those compliments that kept me going! 
Reading those comments tonight made me smile and brought back a little of my old inspiration :3

2. The way I used to reply to comments makes me cringe!! Like someone would write me a nice long comment and I would just be like lolz thanks! and I didn't answer questions very thoroughly. And I just was not very tactful. It's like I wasn't 100% aware of the tone my comments were conveying. 
I guess I've just gotten sharper since then! ;P


Anyway... so I'm 20 now, and it's starting to hit me that I should probably start working on being an adult. Like really thinking about job possibilities and managing money and shit. It's all kind of hitting me cause I've started looking for an apartment to rent next school year. I'm really thankful that my parents are supporting me through school, but maybe I'd feel more like an adult if they made me pay for part of it. Maybe I'll have to once my college fund runs out. (Thank Jesus I do have a college fund though)

I got a library card today for the library district of my college's city. The guy gave me a choice between the kids' one with cute animals on it and an adult-looking one that's like sleek and looks like it means business. I, like, SERIOUSLY thought about it. But I chose the cute animals.

The best part is, I got the library card so I could check out Warriors books cause my university's library doesn't have kids' books. :lmao:

Well, I guess I'll get back to reading those novels for kids. heheh.

Ah there's nothing wrong with still doing things you enjoy just because you're an adult! I often cringe when looking at my old comments/journals too (which is why I don't!) xD
