If anyone feels like giving up on art because of ai just remember it's more important than ever to make original and human made art. You matter more than you know, you are valuable. Every human made art piece is a treasure and that includes your art no matter what the art form it is... If you leave that leaves room for ai to take up. Art is human, your human, keep doing the thing that humans have been doing since the beginning, keep making art the human way without ai... It's the most precious thing in the world.
the moment i actually start writing it i remember that i do in fact enjoy writing and that i am doing this project for fun and then i love every second of it and this is your sign to stop procrastinating on that project. yeah you know the one. yeah that one. the one you've been putting off for weeks. just do it. seriously, this is your hobby it's not a chore and the sooner you stop thinking of it as something you have to do and recognise it as something you want to do it gets a million times better. i promise.
Who cares where art comes from, so long as it comes from you?

You don't have to be skilled at art to make art and be an artist. Paint badly. Sing badly. Play video games badly on twitch. Write the cheesiest stories the world has ever seen. If it's important to you then it's an important thing to make. The right people will find value in it purely because you made it. And the wrong people don't matter.
as much as it's hard to like something im not proud of, im trying to remind myself that that "bad" drawing is still a step forward in the journey. it's still the 1% forward
Having a think about why I am feeling so burnt out today. I think I've been internalizing my lack of motivation as a character flaw or some sort of sign of failure.
But this past week- hell, the whole of January I've been working harder than I have in a while. I'm making plans for my future, holding myself accountable to complete my work, and my chores, and take care of myself.
It's no wonder I'm tired. I've just gotta build up my stamina again. Things will get easier.
Honestly one of the most freeing things that I have done for myself in terms of motivation to do art is accepting that "I want to make this because I think it will be funny" is a perfectly valid reason to start a project.
