Fuck Graphic Design and all of it's subjective glory. Fuck you, you "experts" and "professionals" who tell me such abundant contradicting advice! Fuck you, prospective employers who are just not the right fit right now. Fuck you, you pathetic Associate's Degree and your taunting of so much time and money wasted. ....because art's not fun anymore ....because I'm not doing it for me if I'm depending on it for income. So in short.. I'm done. I'm done worrying about how anyone else would feel about the finished product while I'm creating anything. I'm done being my own worst critic. I'm done yielding to perceptive professional peer pressure

No plans for New Year's. To me, it's just a celebration of the passage of time, and some people's weak excuse to get drunk. I make goals and review the past all year 'round.

shit

In my past relationships, I look back and think, "Why the hell did I take all that shit?" Guys have guilt-tripped me, manipulated me and even emotionally abused me, and I allowed it all to happen because I could see in my mind's eye it all getting better in the long run and the two of us living as close to happily ever after as reality gets. I now look back and relive situations in my mind, where I threaten to break up with these guys and they act like it's a petty reason, and I realize this would be more manipulation. I'm just wondering if I'll look back on this relationship and feel the same way. I wonder if I'll feel that my prime years

hey this is porterish, I deleted my old acct and I am starting over.
Whoa, thanks for the favs man.
of course! I'm your biggest fan!
things will turn out okay, they always do

it just never really seems that way.
Life is a series of ups and downs. It will always get better, it will always get worse. It will always seem one way or another.
Individual lives are individual stories, each chapter with a happy ending.
Then we die, and the book ends.
And it all turns out OK.


This was the epiphany I had that allowed me to quit my antidepressants cold turkey almost two years ago. I get depressed still, (as it's a natural side effect of living) but I've mastered this disease called depression, finding it wasn't a chemical imbalance in my brain after all. It was just a combination of a lack of emotion management skills and the fact that I was still a kid, so I had minimal freedom and rights.
And I'm left wondering how many people really do have some chemical imbalance in their brains.
very nice.

soothing, almost. perhaps i can take that philosophy into my life.
