Depressing Realizations

[ZippyDSMlee]

Meh the real depressing realizations is that newly made media will degrade in quilty more and more (IE suck) because they always seek to widen their zombie..er...consumer base....

and on the flipside its easyer for you to seek out stuff that fits your niche tastes

Only if you go backwards in time(er I mean the opposite of getting newly released stuff) and dig through whats been around for awhile.

I'd rather have more qaulity moving forward desu

I have a 20% chance of being sectioned and an 80% chance of going crazy again.

Also, in 20 years kids will look back on the things we think are amazing now, and laugh like we do at ancient stuff like floppies.

Floppies aren't ancient :< Stop making me feel old D:

I am sad about the fact that I will never see my Dad again despite his flaws. I miss him a lot :< Stupid Cancer.

That we have to keep living until we die.

Ahh here's another one. The fact that I've taken art for GCSEs when really, I'm terrible at it. When you're on your own, sketching random stuff then your art seems amazing. But when I went into school and see that about 90% of girls can draw stuff better than I can I felt really depressed, knowing I'm probably going to end up doing some shit. It's only worsened by the fact that my brother was the best artist in A Level and GCSE art in my school, so I have a lot to live up to.

First off: Nobody will ever care what you do for your GCSEs. As long as you do well in English and Math everything else gets forgotten within a couple of years. There's not a job in existence where your success or failure will depend on GCSE level art (and that includes being a professional artist).

Second: Those sketches you do in your spare time, keep them up. Do more. Do as many as you can and of as many different things as you can. That's the only way anyone ever gets better at art. Say what you like about natural talent, but I've never met anyone who made a career out of talent alone. The more you practice the better you get, the same as with anything else.

Third: Art is too damn subjective, and the grading systems used to evaluate it shows. Getting good grades in art related courses is less a matter of quality, technique, or skill, and more about how well you can document and explain your projects.

The only good reason to take GCSE level art is because you enjoy it.

Things will rarely get any easier, and they can easily get harder. I struggle to attain my goals in life, and will continue to struggle until I get them, at which point I must struggle to keep them. It's still worth it, but the fact that I have all the odds in the world against me, next to no help, and no chance of a shortage of possible enemies, does get me down.

Then again, when has it really been any different? You could argue by this point, I'd get bored of anything else, and honestly, I'm so fucked up by now that I don't really see enemies anymore, I see possible victims.

Every time I look at the half dozen pills I have to choke down twice a day, I'm reminded that I'll never be completely healthy again. Ever. That some day I'll have to have surgery to have bits of my body cut out just to live a little longer, even if that time is less comfortable/convenient. That I may very well die because of the medicine I have to take to put off having bits of my body cut out...

Now I'm depressed and a little scared.

 

[Ljs1121]

I'll be thirty next year.

What the hell, life? I'm not supposed to be an adult yet!

I immediately thought of this.
Anyways, I try not to think of depressing things, although knowing that my cat and my mom are most likely both going to die in my lifetime does bring me down sometimes. But then I watch heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa and all is made well.

 

[Alcamonic]

That what kills most people is something from within like cancer, blood clout or Alzheimer.

I hate the fact that once my death comes, I probably won't be able to fight it off with my bare hands or with a stick.

right..because everything was better back then

depends entirely on what your looking for and where...like if someone says the top 40 songs are shit I say WELL THERES YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM

see I don't watch mainstream TV anymore..barely at all...because of the internet I can watch shows like Nostalga cric/chick and other online reveiwers... couldn't do that back in the day

Yeah I do enjoy doing art, it's pretty damn relaxing listening to music whilst doing a sketch or doing something on Photoshop. Thanks for the pep talk!

Me and boyfriend were up at silly'o'clock the other day watching some `50 Greatest Music Videos` show, and we knew from the start that the No.1 would be `Thriller`. One day it wont be Thriller. And I will be sad.

I prefer 'Beat It', if I'm entirely honest.

I vote this as Thriller's inevitable replacement:
OT: Well, the last one I had was after my most recent break up. I looked around and realized most of the women in my immediate vicinity were people I had no respect for. That mostly, they were/are an incredibly shallow bunch, none of whom I wanted a relationship with, and that meeting new people isn't all that easy for me at the moment.

...if certain TV-shows and game developers eventually ending is your greatest cause for worry, then you're probably amongst the most lucky of humans to have existed.

Cheer up bro, neither will I

We can be lame together, stagnating in mutual mediocrity.

Such an awesome feeling isn't it? ¬_¬ Hooray for mediocrity! \(^_^ )/

I never said it was... I said that it was a realization I had that made me feel down. I have got bigger worries, my mum's started smoking again and I don't want her to, my brother's leaving to university so I'm of course worried about what's going to happen and my social life isn't really going all that well. Those aren't really depressing realizations, so I didn't put it in here. So yeah, before you go and make comments like that think that maybe there's things we don't want to share to the rest of the world.

The one difference being I have never owned a piano. And you've never helped me move. Lazy git.

One piece of advice I can give you is don't determine your worth by comparing yourself to older siblings. It'll just make you feel like shit when there's really no reason to. You're not your brother, and it's up to you to figure your own way, and do it how you want.

I told you I was busy doing very important work!

[sub]No, no I wasn't :/[/sub]

 

[ToastiestZombie]

Snip

I guess so, I think it's because all the attention in my family has been towards my older brother seeing as he's going into uni in september. But yeah, I shouldn't really compare myself to him because well I'm a different kind of person to him, what he's good at is much different to what I'm good at.

[HEADING=1]Gaaaaaaaaaay![/HEADING]

Nah, I'm totally kidding, that's awesome.

And I would totally move your non-piano, Binnsy, except you never helped me move my Doom Fortress to the moon.

Screw you guy!
