Do you enjoy life?

Mon Jun 1, 2009, 10:46 PM
No review today. No girl gallery. No anime cuties. Just feel like writing something a bit more real. Don't do too many of these 'serious' posts since people are quick to call others 'emo', when in actuality it's because they are not mature enough to look serious stuff in the face. So, those lookin' for boobs, move on. The two of you left (much love, y'all) ... read on.








So, I was with a group of people the other day, and the question was asked, "Are you a content person? If not, what do you desire more of?" The first thing that jumped to my mind was my art. I wish I could draw *so* much better than I do, sometimes it hurts. I just wish I was as good as these people I see around me. This thought was shot down when a guy next to me said 'time'. This boggled my mind since the LAST thing I want is more time. Sometimes I feel as if the days don't go by fast enough. That got me thinking: Do I enjoy life... or am I just going through the motions waiting for it to end?

Now, this may sound a bit macabre, but if I died sooner rather than later, I'd be okay. I'd just make my peace with God, and go ahead and die. I have no girlfriend, no wife, no children... who would miss me? I mean, who would cry that I'm gone. It's a strange thing to not fear death, but rather look forward to the peace that it would bring.








Now, don't misunderstand, I have no desire to take my own life. I just think it's interesting, and just thought I'd share. Everything that I post on DA is real to me, which is why I value it so much. Every picture, every journal, every comment comes from a place of TRUTH (it's how I felt at the time)... it's like a huge visual diary of my life for the past two years. I prefer authenticity to popularity, and I guess that shows in my work.

I honestly try and make my 'highs' not too high and my 'lows' not too low. That just makes for bizarre and uneven living. Honestly, though...I wish I had more highs than I've had recently.

Don't mean to get ya down, just sharing where I am. (If I can share fan service, I can share honest thoughts, right? :) )

How are YOU doing? I really hope that you're doing well.

Much love, y'all! Talk to you soon. :heart: :hug: :heart:

Not entirely sure how to respond to this but... I'm sure if you died plenty of people would miss you.

And improving art takes time and you seem to have plenty of that. Just keep doing what you're doing and take it slow. There's no need to rush anything including the girlfriend/wife and kids stuff.

We all have our ups and downs, that's normal.

Nothing beats a failure but a try.
:icongenmakragoth:
All things considered, I am pretty content in most things. If I had to choose any area that I'd "desire more of", I think =OracleX7 nailed it for me too... ain't nothing wrong with wanting more love. As for my art (be it graphic or music) I think that the craft we choose is always something that we'd like to be able to do better than we can, and as long as your trying to improve at what you love to do, then that's what's gonna help you with getting more of the "highs" in life (provided that it is truly what you love to do).
:icongarabatoz:
Want can I say??? That's very similar to my life XD

But actually, I guess "It's NOT a strange thing to not fear death", some people dear death because they left soemthing important or some people fear to the way of die or things after death XD

Anyway yep: The first thing that jumped to my mind was my art.... but actually mine Isn't art Xd jsut draws :)

Being content with what you have doesn't have to stop you wanting, or striving. English words can be limiting
:iconyveselan:
Am I content? A little. Not enough. I keep striving and I don't stop to think about the existentialist details. I just don't have the lifetime to be a philosopher. I do think about it from time to time but I keep going. :]
:iconrapier-25:
I'm also not afraid of death, but that cos Im already good with my Father (God).

Am I content? Funny you mention this particular point. I been thinking lately, I must wait to be happy...one day. I should try and be happy now.

Ill share.....I also have no wife, kids JOB, girlfriend (Im freelance, and it's not going well, global economic slump and all) and I also wouldnt mind an early death. Im not suicidal either but yeah, if God called me home now I'd run into His arms and cry "Thank you".
I entered the WACOM competition here and I was very depressed I didnt even make it into the first 50. And lately I know my drawings have sucked. Guess they always have.

Anyway, fact is that despite all of that, I still have alot of things going for me, my parents, my buddies...my new PC and Jesus who loves me.

Am I content.....I guess you could say Im getting there.
