i love Objects For Using & Creating. i love my makeup, my computers, and more recently, paint and inks and other such things. i used to love my art programs the same way. but i still associate those with so much pain and stress and expectations. i can't seem to relax or let go. i feel so lost

meanwhile, every time i use my digital art tools, it's like i'm fumbling around in an endless void, struggling to form any kind of coherent image. i get so wound up trying to accomplish anything, and end up being swallowed by my anxiety. it's honestly been like this for years... u_u

yknow, i got a long train ride ahead of me this month and i usually look for audiobook/book recs to pass the time, so i think i'll check that out. i've been struggling to sort through my feelings about anxiety and shame in art so it's a good rec

damn this sounds interesting. i might take a look

truthfully: displays tended to be dimmer in general, but also i always kept the brightness on my devices pretty low. even then, i remember making a light-medium grey mIRC color scheme because the default white background gave me migraines, while white-on-black was hard to read too <_>

even as someone who *does* use dark mode and lives in somewhat dim ambient lighting (literally have been medically diagnosed with light sensitivity) (it sucks) people need to grow up lmfao. someone having different preferences or needs is not an attack, Come On Man

hold onto it for dear life
