Congratulations

I hereby congratulate myself on having enough consistency and determination to accomplish the 'publishing' of more than 100 blog posts in a matter of months. Congratulations self. If you want some encouragement and support, and it's not forthcoming from elsewhere, just do it yourself. There is NOTHING wrong with giving some love and positive feedback and compliments to your own self.

I've made a ton of mistakes and been setback a lot but going to the art museum yesterday and chatting to the guard, Sam, who was there the whole time I went to school there, about how weird that it's gone, made me remember that I was really lucky to go there, even if I fucked up a lot and didn't take advantage of all the things I could have, and wished that were different. I still am learning and making advancements, though slowly. Like, a healthy bit of criticism, I still cannot touch type. And I have not been taking drawing classes and writing classes like I should be. Then again, I am not the everyday drunk person I was, and my back is healing, even though I am not exercising daily.

Good, no, Great job self. You are trying. I am proud of you for this. Fuck all those people who don't believe in participation awards. They suck and just want other people to have low self-confidence so they don't succeed. Participation is important. And so is teamwork and just showing up and being on time. It counts. IT's important. You count. I count. Love yourself. Be confident because you are good enough! Peace.
