I think people in the internet take everything for granted nowadays. I mean, we see so much content of all types of media online nowadays that we don’t even stop to think what’s behind there, which means we don’t stop to appreciate the hard work that was put in everything. Still people feel the need to call out anyone who does anything too “lazily” or sloppily, but when a work is well done, hardly anyones feels the need to say anything aloud. Because that’s just how it’s in the internet nowadays, why should we appreciate and praise each other?

As a “content creator” of many mediums (mainly videos, visual arts and sometimes gifs), this is extrtemely frustrating. I don’t think people know how much time and effort and love people can put into their art, be it videos, drawings/paintings, gifs, music... almost everyone’s doing one or more of those things nowadays and there’s also lots of programs that basically do everything for you so you don’t need to do much than just come up with the idea. Youtube is full of videos and new ones are uploaded so many every day.

So it feels... well very much waste of time. When you use hours and days, sometimes weeks for something you create and then people don’t really even interact with it, at least don’t leave any feedback, because it’s just one creation among billions and billions of others in the internet.

I’m sure I probably would not understand this if I wasn’t creative myself. But for example when I make a video... I don’t know how all those youtubers can sometimes get three or more videos out in a WEEK when I can get 2 videos out maybe in a year - if I’m lucky. It’s mainly because editing just one 10-20min video takes weeks from me. Sure if I made it into a habit, it maybe would be much faster for me too but at the same time - I really enjoy doing very very detailed work and I enjoy every second I use for my videos, even if there’s not too many of them. So everytime I post a video somewhere, it just is such an anticlimax to then realize that everyone is probably comparing my videos to the billions of other videos they have seen. And I’m only comparing my videos to my earlier videos. They might not be as good as what others make, but I put so much effort in the details and it just feels so stupid when I feel that people take every detail for granted and don’t even notice them because they don’t know it was something I had never done before .

Nowadays I always look at everything from the point of view of the creator. I watch a video and I think the filming, the editing process... all that jazz. I watch a movie and I just keep thinking about everything that goes behind the scenes, from the idea to the special effects (which is why I value actual hand-made special effects over CGI and I love 80s movies for that). When I see paintings or drawings, I just think about how they maybe were done, how the person starts, how do they sketch, what they use to make the art piece into what it becomes. I find it extremely fascinating to think about creative stuff to deeper than what’s the surface. Lately I was so hyperfixated on art related youtube videos that it opened my eyes and now I see paintings in so different light compared to when I before didn’t care about paintings at all just because I myself never got along with painting. (And I had to do that A LOT as a kid because of school and art school hobby...)

Maybe it’s just me and my extremely curious nature and my need to know everything. My question to everything has always been HOW instead of WHAT. Even in horse groom school my teacher told me he won’t explain me something because it will go “too far” and more like veterinary kind of knowledge. But I wouldn’t have minded! I found that info fascinating (sadly he refused to explain anything of that to me) because I wanted to know HOW horses work, anatomically speaking. The reason I continued to horse training studies was because I know some people are perfectly happy when they are just told what to do and then they do that. I wanted to know more, I wanted to know why we do what we do (as horse grooms) and I wanted to know how does a trainer decide what we should do.

This got a bit long but it’s okay to reblog if you really feel like to.

1) Give at least one song which means a lot to you. And if you’re okay with it, tell me why.

Ok as much as I love my kpop, the song that means the most to me is Rolling in the Deep by Adele. You might think “damn that’s an old song” and it is but that’s why I love it. It was one of the first songs I ever listened to when I first discovered pop music in like the middle of grade school. I still remember it playing in the car as I went through the biggest change in my life. It was a really confusing and painful part in my life and every time I hear the song (which is rare because it doesn’t play on the radio as often anymore), it makes me smile because I think about how far I’ve come and how much stronger I’ve gotten. 

2) If you are free to do anything you want for a day, what would you do?

ummm lmao I have a lot of free time tbh but I waste it all on kdramas :))) for the sake of this question, if I was able to do anything for a day I would go to The City (San Francisco) with a few good friends and visit all the cute, local art shops and exhibits and gardens where I would bring my sketchbook and practice drawing plants and people and scenery and eat ALL the good food (aka not salads, sorry I will tolerate them on days I feel fat but today is not that day) and visit aesthetic coffee shops boba shops :))) and take a TON of aesthetic pictures.

3) Beaches or mountains?

mountains because they make me feel like a giant when I reach the very top and look at all the tiny houses and cars

4) What’s one thing you are passionate about?

Currently, it’s badminton. I joined my high school badminton team and I’ve met some really amazing people and gotten hella swol from all the running (the conditioning is no joke). I haven’t been this motivated to get better at something in a looooong time. BUT ALSO I LOVE ART AND WATERCOLOR AND PHOTOGRAPHY AND FASHION DESIGN AND MUSIC :)))

a friend is rlly getting on my nerves because she’s the type of person to only come to you when she needs you and she ditched me for some “cooler” people but it’s cool because i found my own friends and now she’s clinging on to me because the “cooler” people aren’t there for her and she was coming to me today for some comfort but i was rlly passive aggressive and gave her advice instead of comfort and now i’m pretty sure she’s mad and she’s proabably going to talk shit about me to all of my own friends soooooooo

but whatever she’s not important and not worth stressing about :)
