When I was younger I was always making paper suits from one of my favorite TV shows or movie characters and it was so fun and interesting at the time. When I got around the age of 13 that’s when I started playing video games and got my Xbox and would have so much fun playing my favorite game Fortnite with my friends then,after a while the game got boring and me and my friends stopped playing.
In those fun moments I never thought about whether I should play video games because I have nothing better to do, but I did this because I had fun playing video games. For a while now I have been into drawing because I know my art teacher believes in me and wants me to do the best of my ability and that’s what encourages me to keep drawing. When I was younger I would always draw and would look at other peoples drawings and get demotivated because their drawings were better. Drawing is something I want to learn but also want to have fun with as well. I have learned that a hobby is supposed to be fun and something you enjoy doing.
Whenever I go to school, I have anxiety so I like to listen to music and draw because it relieves stress and keeps my mind off of things. After a while drawing became a chore for me because I tried to do hard level drawing instead of taking things slow and easy. I realize that when doing things you enjoy you should enjoy the process of getting better.
I took a break from drawing and decided to do other things. Doing things like relaxing in my bed,watching a movie or show on Disney Plus, taking a nap because it helps me clear my mind off of things,and listening and dancing to music.
I got frustrated and asked my art teacher what I was doing wrong. My art teacher told me that when we are toddlers we don’t want to be carried all of our lives,and that we eventually want to walk on our own. When he said this he meant that one day as I progress with my drawings I am going to want to work harder as I see improvement,and that I have to do small things to get to the bigger better things in life.
Well,whoever reads this I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you achieve our dreams.
