the hobby I want requires decades of practice and I just somehow never have enough energy or motivation to do that practice. There's a severe lack of content about it, and I want more than anything to do something about that, but I just can't.
It makes me sad that there are people out there that just choose not to do certain things out of "not-being-the-very-first-itis", yet I want to do this thing so badly and can't.
Sigh.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoWhat is it? Like an instrument or painting or something?
- prawn 3y agoHave you tried documenting it but never publishing? Or publishing but never looking at the stats? Any step towards a goal counts for something.
- LoganDark 3y agoEh, it's an art style. And I'm not an artist. I want to be an artist, but practicing is seemingly too hard for my ADHD. :(
- prawn 3y agoDo you have a space in your house that would work? Do you have materials? I think set very simple and comfortable steps. Order materials, but don't stress about getting the right ones - just get cheap stuff. Set up a place you can do it. Then one day soon, you'll be in a position to make a single mark and get started. If it's not digital, you could try a digital version. iPad and Pencil is great fun doodling/painting on the couch. If not digital, watercolour pencils are a great way to get results as an amateur.
