I'm envious of creative people. You know who I'm talking about, the people who can sit down to draw, paint, write and craft what's in their minds and have it come to fruition quickly. It's a confidence crash when I see other people's work. I get envious but never jealous...aside from that period in my life where I refused to read Harry Potter on principle. So much time wasted when I could have immersed myself in that world and purchased all the trinkets that the stores were selling. *sigh* Ah well, lesson learned.
Seriously though, I have so many ideas in my head. I'm not an artist; I can't draw at all yet 50% of what I want to do involves drawing. My problem is that I'm a perfectionist. I want things to look their best from the start. Realistically that's impossible, especially for someone like me who does everything halfheartedly.
My intentions are always good, and I aim to give any project 100%, but as soon as a line or a sentence turns out wonky I shut down. I grumble and complain and basically go on a tangent and swear off everything. It's a bit dramatic, to be honest. It's also frustrating. Clearly you can't have things looking perfect if you've dedicated zero time to the process. You have to be willing to practice, and I'm too restless to sit and learn basics.
I'm working on it though. Little by little.
