it’s easy to get caught up in self doubt and criticism but sometimes you have to see yourself in a reflective surface in passing or try to view your work objectively and think about how child/teen you would be really really impressed with what you’ve done and how you’ve turned out. even if I’m not a billionaire yet 😃👍👍

#I don’t think I could even conceptualize looking the way I do now. even 5 years ago I couldn’t.#and if you told 15 year old me (who was writing vampire Mary sues) that I’d be 350k words into a single project just for fun for myself #I’d be floored that I’m capable of doing that.#and I think I would be really shocked at my art even if I (as a 30yr old) don’t think it’s super good or anything.#but I remember seeing art like mine as a kid and being so awed.#it’s really crazy trying to view yourself through the lens of your former child #can’t speak on work accomplishments because I’ve never seriously dreampt of dream jobs lol. other than being a vet when I was 8.#I think child me would frankly be shocked I have a degree in art. and religion. and anthropology. you can just do anything you want.#a day in the life of steeve #even if I’m not a man I think I’m still paying homage to my teenage bestie who died before they invented being transgender 🫡🫡🫡#girl if only you knew you can get testosterone for $5 at Walgreens in 2024 #*reflecting on being 30 with a 401k and an apt and a paid off car like a real bona fida adult*#crazyyyyy that you wake up one day and you’re 30 somehow. time really does stop after 24. if you’re 24…. watch out.
