This is true of my experience. Hope this doesn't sound like an insincere thing to say, but I imagine you've all got more ability than alot of people who think they are great. It's unfair that you are held back.

I think my greatest regret was giving up a fine art degree. In retrospect, I was basically nervous about revealing anything about myself, or having something of my own displayed and scruntinised. I remember being so scared about an impending exhibition. I was always pretty 'safe' with my own artwork - scared to take risks, depsite admiring the work of people who did.

The worst thing was, I met a few great people who became friends there (was only there a month). We were sort of compatible with our tastes and things and appreciated each other - only I felt totally stunted, as I'd avoided people for so long believing most people to be gits (they were Wink

) - and my self-belief was zero. I didn't even imagine they'd wana keep in touch I was so unassuming.
If only I'd met the people in my life in a difference order. I might have a different story painted on me.

I absolutely relate to this, I'm very interested in art, I read about it all the time. I've been sporatically teaching myself to draw for months now, I love making pictures. At the same time i deal with terrible depression, most days I'm too depressed to even get out of bed and do anything, much less create art. In these moments I feel worthless and worry that the pictures would be poorly made, so I don't even try, I bearly even feel the excitement during these times. This is very troubling for me because I love art and want to be a better artist but sa and depression cause major problems for my growth.
