I’ve been telling myself all month that I need to crack on with my website and get the thing finished. I haven’t even touched a pencil or a stick of charcoal for any personal work since I’ve been working full time. It seems that when I get home from work, all that I want to do is relax and the thing furthest from my mind is art or my website. It just goes to show just how little time we have. That the majority of our lives are spent at work, with many of us not having any time to ourselves to do something that means a great deal to us. Is work really that important?

It’s been great having money again though. Just little things like being able to go out and have a drink with mates, is a real treat. This brings me back to my original thought about spending a little bit of time for things we really love doing. For me it’s drawing and working on my website. But because I’m not getting paid for it, I don’t spend anytime whatsoever on it and therefore I have neglected it. I do tell myself that I should spend more time on it, but when do I do that. Is something only worth doing as long as I get paid for it. Well working on my art is somewhat an investment. I know that if I work hard at it now it’ll pay off in the end. Even now that I’m thinking about it, I’m convincing myself I never have anytime. Well I need to make time to draw and whatever time I have in the day I should do a little here and there and make the most of it.
