      What’s your preferred medium? Do you have a way to make art everyday? I feel stuck at times and learning about how and what other art interested people Do gives me ideas.

        Digital 2D art drawn in Paint Tool SAI 1! I’ve been using that program for as long as I’ve been drawing digitally and honestly wouldn’t settle for anything else. I don’t typically draw everyday, only when I’m in the mood for it. To get ideas I’ll try doing random rough sketches and see what I vibe with, othertimes I can get inspired by movies, videogames or anime!

    I want to get better at deeply understanding people, which probably starts with getting better at listening

      Safety razor is the way to go! Take it slow and let the weight of the safety razor do the work. It’s so much cheaper than the multi blade razors too!

        If you shave, I highly recommend learning how. It’s completely transformed my experience of shaving from a task that I dreaded to an enjoyable part of my day.

    lowering my expectations

    hopefully, pretending to be straight or asexual; and being able to be happy without friends, as these will be needed survival skills

      We’re better together. Don’t try to survive on your own, having friends you can trust is crucial for survival

        that’s unfortunate, as I don’t really have any close friends I’d say I trust or could count on for more than thoughts and prayers. oh well.

        sometimes that’s just how it is.

    Protecting my privacy. I am gender nonconforming and on HRT. So with the current political atmosphere and the fact that it has enabled and encouraged hate speech and attacks, I’ll new to be more careful on platforms that my identity is more prevalent.

    I’m not going to hide, as I’m not hiding by posting here. But I’m going to remove my data from corporate platforms that have connections to law enforcement and have poor security that insist on keeping my personal details. Can’t trust the federal government or any company, starting next year if the Project 2025 or Trump’s plan are truly put in place.
