I should have just gone to bed but I felt a bit anxious and sad and I can't sleep when I feel like that. So I noticed an unfinished drawing looking at me, and I nodded at it, but I just wasn't feeling it. I laid my head in my hands and I felt the drawing continue to gaze at me. I decided to go inspect it. I sat down with it at the computer, looked at the intricate geometries I had previously started working on and suddenly I felt better. So then I started to draw and my sadness lifted for a bit. I listened to a TOOL documentary on youtube while drawing and that was interesting and made me feel better too.

It's weird how spontaneously our moods can change. It's important for me to find these outlets because there is nobody here to hug me and tell me that everything is going to be o.k.

Very nice.

Post the drawing yo! I want to see it!

I think most people have good flows of motivation but eventually there comes a time when we get lazy or sluggish. In those situations its important to be able to just force ourselves to get up and do it. That was a lesson I learned in college as explained to me by my father. I was struggling with school because I would get lazy. He related to me and said that he sometimes hated to do his school work too but he would force himself.

Usually once I force myself I continue to build momentum.
