Awesome to see such a willingness to share. Perhaps this platform with amplify many things. Not just writing itself, but how quickly and deeply people share path from goal to success. That feeling of being bored. Yes, I used to have that. It passed with obsessive study into conspiracy theories. There are indeed many things that need doing, and I fully lived out my thirties having lots of fun. Now I am hard core into using technology to help people. I also love to draw and paint. Do you oil paint? That is a logical progression from drawing. Acrylics wont really show you what painting is, oils are the one.
I look forward to following your journey. To me, you don't need help from us, you have all the right attitudes right from the start. Primarily, focusing on the positive benefits of achieving your goal :)
Thank you, I appreciate the compliments.
I actually don't paint. I'm pretty terrible at it. I have no idea what I am doing with paint or brushes. I have dabbled in painting with tea, which is lots of fun, and I hope to find a good painting class somewhere nearby that I can take up. I'd love to learn, since (as you say) it is the next logical step from drawing. But if I could take another class in drawing to improve those skills, I'd just as gladly take that one. I always see room for improvement. It's funny because oil paints are actually the ones that freak me out the most- it's almost like they give me anxiety. It would be so easy to muddy it up, and that slippery slick texture does not sit well with me haha!
You are actually correct, and I don't necessarily need support from a community, family, or from Omar, either. I have the attitudes to do it all alone, but that just feels so very lonely.
