Placebo
I guess because of the placebo effect, immediately after having this conversation my sickness turned for the worse. I didn’t work or sleep.
But the good news is this proves I’m highly suggestible so I can use this to my advantage. |

Hatoful things
Why do people say hateful things? It’s one thing to think it, or say it anonymously on a board, but why would you do that in real life? My only explanation would probably be
- he’s depressed
- he’s coping with not doing what he wants (?)
- he’s jealous (?)
- it sucks to be this negative
- he is insensitive to the courage it takes to pursue art
- he is insensitive to my past experience in this struggle between art and engineering
- he has this same struggle and copes by doing this
- he is insensitive to the delicacy needed to nurture a sense of hope in art
- I’m too sensitive
- I’m too involved
- I need to lighten up
- I need to distances myself from it
- I need to put my ego away from humility
- I need to put mission success first
- I need to be professional and produce in spite of criticism
- I need to learn to handle it
I’ll meditate and write down these hurtful things and maybe I will stop thinking about them and get on with it. I guess I really wish I had someone to talk to.
- “no one cares”
-“your job isn’t important”
-“you won’t make any money”
-“there is no world wide ranking - and if there is, you’re not at the top of it.”
-“ it doesn’t matter if you’re at the top of your field. At least I make money.”
-“if you’ve never been contracted by a Japanese anime company you’re not really a character designer.” |

Grandpa was a Great Man
A graduate student took me around Guangzhou today. He said he was the one who drove my Grandpa to and from the hospital. He just recently met my grandparents (as teachers) and he said he had always want to see my Grandpa. “He is a legend” there’s apparently even a chinese saying made after him.” In the ____ river there is _____ in the (south river) there is _____” basically a famous guy in the north and Grandpa in the south. He said there are photos of him and plaques all around campus. I had no idea. Maybe he was so humble he never once pointed them out (though he was sometimes boastful) I guess it’s odd since I always just saw him as Grandpa. He took us all around China and told us funny stories. I can’t believe what a family man he was as well as a great career man.
Will I ever be so good in my career? It’s amazing to be related to greatness. It gives me hope. Dang. I’m so sad now.
Anyways it was interesting to hang out with grad guy! He is super super kind and outgoing. I wonder if I should have just grown up here. He makes me forget I have any problems. I feel normal. In America I always feel like I don’t fit in. What a talented guy! Is this how successful people act? It feels natural. I hate that in the US I always doubt myself... dang I’m sad again
Well I’ll meditate and get back to art. I psyched him up about art and I think he can tell how psyched I am about my own art. Grandma framed the poster I gave her. It’s amazing :’) |
