I want to start a personal project. It’s very artsy. It would take me more than 20+ or every possibly 40+ hours to do. I am coming back home. Will start working at a job in two days. I’m a bit nervous whether it is a good timing to start now simultaneously as the job will begin because I don’t want to get into it too much and then not be able to deliver in my job. I don’t want to get myself into trouble and I know that when I start something like this, I go hard until the day I finish it. It would take all my free time and I think I might need to work at home instead. At least the first month. I don’t want to get fired the first month in. I also just itch to do this project.
And then there is the third part of me that is telling me that I should let it rest and learn how to sit for a while. I feel like I am so used to rushing always for something ahead. Always creating always making. And at times I feel tired. Overwhelmed. But more importantly, I feel like It would be much cooler to go and hit the gym rather than sit on my ass and draw all day.
I need to learn balance. I need to learn to - put my work first, find a place in my week to workout and then use the rest of my free time for drawing AND laying back too. being bored.
Have days where when I come home, I don’t draw. I just rest. Right now drawing feels like 80% of my life.
More rest, more working out, focusing on delivering good service at my work… and take drawing less as a goal and more like a way to relax and have fun in the process. Leave that part that is itching to show it to people die a little more than it has up until now.
