It REALLY is hard. Does art ever feel like commiting to a group or friendship? Because that's what it feels like for me. Like you have to actively put a lot of effort into the relationship if you want art to reciprovate and give you that same sort of attention. It's so labor intensive that it becomes intimidating for me sometimes.

So I do want to say thanks for the kind words of encouragement!

But despite all that, it IS fun to try and I hope you're still having fun while trying to navigate balancing and scheduling as well. :D
