This is just insane.

The travel ones I get, that’s why I was looking through it myself.

But some of these are like… “wear a comfy sweater” or “sing in the shower”. Like, okay, you probably have a sweater and a shower in your house right now. You can accomplish these life goals of yours in the time it takes to make a kitschy image about them! With less effort and future shame!

Some are about learning new skills. Learning takes a little longer than, y’know, putting a sweater on, but at some point you’re going to have to stop blogging about it. You can learn pretty much anything off the internet. Turn tumblr off and go get started right now. Go do it.

This one is just “host an egg and spoon race.” Really? That’s on your bucket list?

Now this one says “become a zoologist” with a quirky picture of a giraffe. Really? Sure you don’t mean “go to a zoo”? Because becoming a zoologist is pretty much years in college and a lifelong venture, not something you do as a hobby one weekend!

Here’s one that says “read a John Green novel” ugghhh shut uppppp nooooo

And I’m close to finishing the first one (maybe ten more pages to go) and I’m not at all close to finishing the second one (it’s a lot longer, but I’m at least 10k words into it so far). They’re very different but I’m enjoying writing both.

Thing is, I’m getting so fucking discouraged! For the first one, I keep thinking, “oh, nobody is going to want to read this. It’s too short. It’s too old-fashioned. It’s not interesting enough. It’s not unique at all. It’s too obvious. It doesn’t have a clear voice.” The second one, my brain keeps saying, “a million people have already written stories like this. You’re not being creative. You’re just being derivative. You can only write the same scenes so many times before they sound the same. Your vocabulary isn’t big enough. You’re not interesting enough. Nobody’s ever going to read this thing. You’re wasting your time.”

I’ve been managing my depression pretty well lately, but argh, I just can’t get over this! I know I’m going to work hard and finish both, and hopefully start on my next projects soon, but it’s really fucking hard when this is echoing through my head!

I’m just hoping that by complaining about it on Tumblr, it magically helps it go away.

Go away, creative depression!!!

This weird little woman just sat down across the table from me at the coffee shop and started typing and then now is calling someone on the phone and talking loudly. There are other open tables and the table I’m at is a big one with plenty of room all the way down it. But she is sitting right. across. from. me. I literally had to move my laptop back to make room for hers when there is a full table here of wide open space plus at least two other tables she could’ve had completely to herself. Then when I tried to smile at her when she sat down she didn’t even acknowledge me.

Honestly I just don’t get it, go away you weird people, why you gotta be like this.
