What 2022 Has Taught Me...

What 2022 has taught me...

People only remember me when they need me.

Apart from my close friends, people only text me or talk to me when they want something. My WhatsApp gets flooded around exams cuz everyone wants me to explain things to them. I hope they're not surprised when I end up ignoring them.

People can only hurt me if I let them.

I suppose it's a part of the human condition. I can't isolate myself from other humans. And these other humans rarely care about my feelings. So I get hurt. But I can control it to some extent. I prioritize those who care about me, I decide to give them that power to hurt me while hoping they never do. And they'll hurt me anyways cuz that's how things work.

Sometimes small actions speak louder than big gestures.

People can proclaim their love for you and shout it at the top of their lungs, make grand gestures. But what it boils down to is the fact that the little things matter more. Remembering someone's coffee preferences, or their favourite song must count for something. At least it does for me.

Some people just aren't worth my time.

Social media is a scam. Live your life for the memories, not the Instagram photos. Okay I learnt this a long time ago but I actually just realised how true it is.

I sometimes need to prioritise myself over other people. My feelings over their feelings. Or I'll lose myself in trying to please others.

Characters like sprouts or mushrooms are fun to draw 🍄🌱

au where uncle aaron doesnt die but he has still just found out his favorite nephew is spiderman so now hes just kinda like :/ damn i guess i gotta be a superhero now

its like batman and robin if batman were the sidekick. hes just sort of following miles around dragging his scrawny little butt out of tight spots and yelling encouragement. 

I did some more fantasy archery trope testing. This time the arrow stabby thing!
