Dear Diary, several ideas came to mind. I'm planning to start working on them this week.
Had a conversation with an artist friend, extremely talented person I admire and respect so much. I'm glad I decided to approach her to talk about some ideas I had in the past, because the conversation gave me the information, the insight I need for those past projects and the new ones. I feel intimidated with her sometimes, but I shouldn't have. She has done nothing but being open and giving to me, so has her family. I think my fear comes from myself, a product of painful past experiences and was too trusting I ignored my intuition.
Someone in the hobby group asked if I would join them in an event hosted by the group admin. I said no and left the chat soon after. The last 5-7 days I probably spent an hr or so with them, that's quite a contrast since I used to spend most of my time every day with them. I thought about joining other groups before, but on second thought, I don't really need to be in a group to enjoy the hobby itself. I will be busy with new ideas anyway and I have other hobbies that are more in alignment to my creative path.
