Feeling a bit sad recently due to mood and unkind people.
Sometimes, it kinda gets me down. Does that happen to you, too?
To try and keep things positive, share something nice that happened to you this month?

I make art sometimes.. I guess?
Deviantart - Tumblr
Patreon - Instagram

Anyway, to try and counter some unkindness, here's a mini trash train.
Basic sgtools. (First time doing this, please be patient with me.)

Thanks. Hope you have a good day.

Do you think people are generally nice in this world?

View Results
Yes.
Majority yes. A few bad apples are very vocal.
Maybe? I'm on the potato fence.
Majority no. A rare few, yes.
No. Most put themselves first. (I feel you..)

Thanks for the train! checked out your art, Think I like this drawing the most https://southrobin.deviantart.com/art/Quickie-Jahkl-697346425 😀

I am sorry, Robin. I would say many people are nice after you get to know them, and some are nice before then. I am sorry you've been running into the un-nice ones. And that is a beautiful doggo!

You are a very talented artist. I can only dream of being as good as you.

When I'm down, I find that listening to a comedy radio show (for instance, Jack Benny, Fibber McGee and Molly, or an episode of the Vinyl Cafe) helps tremendously.

Ah, don't be sorry, you did nothing wrong.
Thank you for the kind words on my stuff, it's very encouraging!
I believe you can easily do better than I do though, I honestly don't practise as much as I should :d

I appreciate the suggestions, I've never actually thought to watch a comedy show for some reason :0

I sincerely doubt I can do better!
Yeah, I found out that comedy helps me quite by accident--I had a down day and was trying to distract myself so I turned on the radio. IT happened to be a program that rebroadcast old radio shows (1940s) and it was a Jack Benny show. Despite initially not even feeling like smiling, by the end of that show I had laughed so much that I felt much better.

I find the unkind people a necessary evil to remind us what kindness really is.
At any rate, I hope you meet more kind people to remind you that not all are bad. :)
I still think you should consider doing a comic strip or book of some sort. You're incredibly talented!

And thank you for the train, too.

Thank you, Tzaar. That's a very positive way of looking at them!

I really should, one day. I wish I had more ideas though! I'm not as creative as some artists I know.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing :')

I finally get my ass up and go back to the workforce. The job has great prospect, but I hate the long commute, and I'm still not over the life of a bum.

Thanks for the train, and hope you have a great weekend - perhaps treat yourself to some good food, or just take a trip to some garden to relax.

That's ok, I'm honestly probably a big bum myself :p
I hope you're doing well at that job!

Thank you for the suggestions. I haven't been to a garden in awhile, so I might do just that!

I had a good day yesterday... Went out with friends and had good food and good conversation. And then slept for 14h.

How about you? Don't let unkind people bring your mood down, it's not worth it.

I suppose that's a good way to go about it.
Need to work on caring less about the way other people act :')
Thank you for the advice!

I followed your insta! :)
Agreed with lovol, you mirror your "close five" peeps a lot. A lot of my childhood (still) friends reflect traits I don't like anymore, because I grew a lot as a person in the last 1-2 years. Keep your head up rob! :)

Oh! Thank you wieme! That was unexpected.
Yeah, I've heard of that in the past, but probably don't think about the "close five" theory enough.
Might need to do something about it.
Thank you bud for stopping by, I hope you have a good week ahead :')

My 3 month old boy laughed out loud for the first time this month. You can't really be sad if you hear a toddler laughing.
I hope unkind people stay out of your way, at least for a while ✅

Aw, that's so cute!
That's true. Can't help but feel a little better after seeing a little kid smile or laugh :')
Thank you, and I hope the same goes for you as well.

I just try to avoid negative people even if it's not always possible.
These days, I'm enjoying taking my 7 month son for a walk with his stroller.

Seems like walks are a good way to clear your head.

Yeah, going for a walk is always good to clear your mind. I remember that at a time, I had too many things on my mind and walking under a cold rain was the only way to get me back to the "here and now".

From times to times i feel down without will or motivation to do anything and fall back to games just to avoid reality but I know that's not the right solution. Try to something more time with the people you feel closest to and more comfortable, while at the same time doing what you enjoy. You have really nice drawings and great skill. Maybe try to incorporate that passion in your daily life and share it with your friends. Hope you'll feel better.

Dont feel sad because other people are unkind
You cannot change them or do anything
So dont let them affect you
In the past it also happen to me, but i guess i just figured out that there is no point in letting affect you
Just ignore them and be happy :)
Have a nice weekend!

I'm not really in a good mood recently, trying to sort out my previous results required for my thesis from 2 years ago, and I want to kick myself in the butt because I half-assed quite a few things, because I thought I'll just do next day. Or the day after. Then anxiety and depression set in, so yeah.. stress of writing that piece of s... art and facing what did I fuck up isn't exactly the most pleasant thing I can imagine. Otherwise not much social things from me, sadly.
If this can count: Aviators and Miracle of Sound made a superb collab Dark Souls song for the remaster's release and it's awesome (spoilers in the video I guess, lyrics are vain enough on their own that they are not spoilery without knowing some of the lore, and afterwards it's not spoiler because .. knowing the lore :P )

Thank you for the ride, Southrobin and have a nice and peaceful weekend! ^^

Sorry to hear that you're feeling down, and hope things improve. The news about Xena was certainly good! I hope you feel rewarded for your efforts.

As for me, I had an awful fight on Monday, was mad most of Tuesday, still wasn't speaking on Wednesday. But by Wednesday evening we talked it out and made up, and that was good. Things are back to normal now, so generally cheerful.

Sometimes people's general self-centered attitude gets me down too but I look around me at all the people I know who are doing good for others, even in small ways; hell even in little places like these, the random kindness of strangers, and I dismiss the few a-holes we are all bound to bump into every so often.
Have a good weekend
