   @irgndsondepp A new post?...

   I have been waiting for 84 years 🥹

   @irgndsondepp Wait, you just picked up drawing a few weeks ago? Your self-portraits turned out great! I would've thought you'd been drawing for much longer. Anyway, Mister Rogers approves 😄

   @irgndsondepp "I’m lazy. Like most people (I guess), I don’t like to practice. I like to just do." Ah! The Sid Vicious philosophy, I see! The only one I ever will subscribe to.

   There are so many fellows that draw for a living here, sharing immaculate drawings, that honestly, seeing your drawings is kind of refreshing. Like, "look, it's a drawing by a regular dude, and it looks pretty cool too!"

   @irgndsondepp in some ways, there's not much difference between practice and just-doing-the-thing. reading some of my early work, it's not great, especially conceptually/structurally/grammatically, but i published regardless and got better along the way.

   your entry is a good message to those who get stuck in this "but i suck" phase and never share their work because of it. yeah, you suck, i suck, we all suck. who cares. just do what you enjoy. (1/2)

   @irgndsondepp thanks for writing this! I need the reminder sometimes. another one along these lines: you don’t have to “keep up” a hobby forever

   @irgndsondepp Totally agree with everything you touched on, especially this line: “And what’s even more important: I really enjoyed playing them.”

   Hobbies are meant to bring _you_ joy. As long as you’re having a good time, nothing else matters.

   Good to read from you again :)
