besides video games, this'll give me a bit more time to make some headway on my book

i've been having up-and-down periods with it lately, where i'm thinking either "this is gonna be the greatest book ever written" or "wow literally nobody is going to read this let alone enjoy it lmao" which sucks but that's the way it be

if it ends up being a failure, and i struggle to do anything else in life and die a loser because all i know how to do is write, i'm glad that it won't be entirely my fault, because the world is sort of falling apart right now anyway (even after coronavirus clears up, we're still getting four more years of trump)

Literally the exact same shit as always

Except my mom wants me at home now to take care of my brothers which is a total chore
I feel like a housewife

Dude, what's your book about?  and yes start practising drawing and other forms of art to occupy the mind. It's never a waste!

I'm already a total recluse so virtually nothing will change for me.

The way I spend the rest of my time.


Unemployed.

There’s not really much I can do. My lectures have been called off, the gyms are closed and everyone’s looted all the food and toilet paper out of the supermarkets. Still have work luckily but not sure for how long.

On the bright side, I’ve been getting into The Sims 4 and have been enjoying it quite a lot.

Dude, what's your book about?

it's like an anti-coming of age story about the struggle for a small town introvert to grow up, be an adult, and connect with the modern world, told primarily through a series of quiet and ephemeral moments on the bus during his various commutes

not the most exciting premise in the world, but it's supposed to be a very raw and moody and psychologically troubling story that doesn't really do a lot for you on a moment-to-moment basis, but sticks in your head long after you've finished reading it, and makes you wanna take a long cold shower aftewards (or just cry)

it's basically looking like a fictionalized autobiography at this point, but i'm working on introducing elements that stray from my own personal experience, which is challenging yet fulfilling

Um, I still go to work lol. Schedule has not changed.

Am I in it?

i could probably work you in somewhere

No

Well, pretty sure if I were in it, that would be anime.

Now, when we have virus going on, do you think we going to have people post more? I really wish so, because I'm curious how everyone of you are doiing these days and what are your interests in general.

on a weird impulse, i considered buying some kind of drawing device and learning how to draw, just to develop some other dumbass worthless skill, if only to say that i have two of them

but that's a lot of money to spend on something that might be a waste of time and effort (not unlike anything else, though)

Imagine that you are living in a shitty country, your family doesn't have an income because some asshole fired last working person in your family for not paying for her workplace despite 18 years of experience and you have to serve in the military, leaving family  without income for a year. Your drawing impulse will go away immideately.

If it won't, draw on paper with regular pencil instead. After 5 minutes of drawing you'll come to that epiphany that you need to put a lot of effort to get anything done, leave your drawing and never have that impulse ever again.

If it does come back though, take that drawing you make and draw for another 5 minutes, then step back and compare your perfomance between this and previous attempt, become disappointed and drop it.

If THAT didn't help, well, congratulations! You seem to have a superhuman power called "passion" and so you might continue to draw until you are satisfied and maybe something good will come out, good enough for your family to sell it after you die (since art all of sudden costs more after artist dies).

Literally only person that was bugging you was Chally (and Banjo; I'll count them as one person because they literally come at the same time, go away at the same time, like each other posts and so on), why you would allow him to get on your nerves considering that he gets banned almost everywhere he sets his foot is beyond me. I've been looking at your topics and I don't see people not caring about you either, quite the opposite: literally two members ask you to talk about your life. So, why not?

Activity in and of itself wasn't much of an issue five or so years ago. The problem is there's no real reason to talk about yourself at this point because people either don't care, get annoyed/frustrated, or will just straight up use it against you with aggressive hostility.

I said goodbye to several friends Sunday night who were college interns forced to go back home after work in Disney shut down. I have several pictures I'd like to share; but what's the point if I'm just going to get shit for it?

 Oh, well, never I had this happen to me. (Or at least never without my fault).  I have seen this happen in early Sep7agon days, but that was expected, so I can't judge.

I don't mean just me specifically. Sorry, I should have specified that it happens to everybody on here in some form or another.
