Imagine a desert, stretching out as far as your eyes can see. In this desert is a cube.

My own desert scenario

1-Cube 
It’s a skeletal outline of a cube made up of marching occasionally fragmenting multicolored changing pixels. About as wide as a football pitch and tall as a castle for the most part but also changing in size in a kind of slow pulsing or beating way., its hovering on an axis point like a cube just tipped slightly to a side, swirling anti clockwise with size changing in said slow pulsing way small to significantly larger. From a distance at first it looks a bit like it wants to be a diamond. Beneath it is a sandpit/Oasis that changes its appearance from a desolate sandpit filled only with beastly skulls and bones, to a small oasis with strange mutated animals drinking at the mostly pinkish water (however hard it is to tell the waters color due to the reflections cast by hovering cube pixels) 

2-Ladder 
There is a ladder made of ones and zeros also in marching flux of the ladder shape and it changes from side to side of the cube sometimes vertical strait down from the edge of the cube sometimes stretching more out to the edge of the sandpit/oasis from the cubes edge again. On occasion the ladder will pass in contact with said mutant animals and for a minute or two will change to a solid clear purple frame perhaps glass or plastic of sorts, however its hard to make out. 

3-Horse 
A horse wearing full outdoor Runners clothing and sometimes up on two legs is running to a far edge of the desert out of eyesight then back taking four times around the sandpit/Oasis and cube then to the other side, then it repeats the process both towards myself and back in the alternate direction towards the distant sun. On approach I can hear mild rap music backing beats coming from its tightly secured runners earphones and it's own slightly obscure attempts at what seems to me personalized lyrics. 

4-Flowers 
To the right of me just a few meters are some tall grown blue watercolor washed snapdragons just about hip high perceived from my 6,2 sight line of about 3 miles or less of desert sand terrain from flower tops to where the sandpit looks to begin its dip and cubes lines cast shadows . to the left of me directly opposite snapdragons are some Red acrylic paint spattered Tulips seemingly lower in height. The Plants are 2 dimensional or somewhat paper like yet its as if all around them as far as they act are also part of a canvas, thus paint spatters and partially painted petals are frozen in place just near. Every time the horse comes my way it jumps the flowers causing more frozen in place paint marks and petals to disperse slightly before sticking in the air.the jump must be about a yard an half on landing the jump I'm just barley missed by the horse. 

5-Storm 
In the very center of the cube is a storm that is changing its identifying aspects with each full turn of the cube. Some turns will show thunder, lightning and rain some will show a storm on a raging sea with waves and storm clouds taking shapes that form monstrous figures in war with one another. Some turns will include hurricanes and blizzards and images of disastrous destruction caused worldwide by them all, and some will not be earthly based but cosmic nebula's storms I can only imagine taking place at some distant vector of space.

Do your own..try not to let mine influence if you read it....go to above link after.

Imagine a desert, stretching out as far as your eyes can see. In this desert is a cube.

1. Your first task is to describe the cube. What does it look like? How large is it? What is it made of? Where exactly is it?

There are no right answers here, only your answers. Take a moment before you continue – the detail is important.

2. As you look at the desert and your cube, you notice there is also a ladder. Your second task (there are just five) is to describe the ladder. What is it made of? How big is it? Where is it, in relation to the cube?

3. Now imagine that in the scene there is a horse. (Yes, horse. I didn't say this desert made sense). Your third task: describe the horse. Most importantly: where is the horse, and what is it doing? Where, if anywhere, is it going?

4. We’re nearly there now. In the scene before you are flowers. Your penultimate task: describe the flowers. How many are there? What do they look like? Where are they, in relation to the horse, cube, ladder and sand?

5. Final question. In the desert there is a storm. Describe the storm. What type of storm is it? Is it near, or far? What direction is it headed? Does it affect the horse, flowers, cube or ladder?

One simple word that says much about where you are as an artist...if you feel you can still credit yourself with such a title.

Think im at a point where im always in doubt of everything i put down....many ideas and an eagerness to do them as usual but, the stuck in a going nowhere position for so long...since the end of university...actually no i still felt mildly confident then ...since my sister passed away.

i seem to feel iv been trying to tell myself its all still a matter of time and i just need to stay creative..but the lack of work creative or other or the lack of a believable positive aspect of what i do and how much i try has gotten me to question my skill more and more so much so i just don't want to show anything i do.

cant stop questioning my age among all those around me...younger graduates with the same shit as me only id imagine in some cases with the add on of people loving them. I KNOW comparing to others is a no no but at 28 having never had a proper job and still getting no real love for my creativity...its hard not to notice how much of a fuck up you likely seem.

I have BA in illustration... I know shit about web deign as it seems all around me do or have time to learn...love character design but am scared to death of posting them these days so i just don't...am so critical of my coloring digital or other that i would rather avoid the process sometimes and just draw always....I'm becoming more and more aware of the piling up stuff i just don't want to color or declare finished as that means id have to try and show people online and wait for nothing in way of anyone truly caring.

i avoid deviant and at times the net in general for so long because it reminds me im never getting commission work the way everyone else i graduated with is doing (again all younger than me and with more people in there lives they care for)....

im sick of trying to fight off this honest opinion of hating myself screaming out in my head...

I used to think im a good person...im talented and passionate...now im always questioning if im delusional...if my problems are more than depression.

im no fool..feel like thats how im seen...but i can see the good in what i have roller derby helps me in that the people i sometimes engage with help me with making me aware of my overthinking on negitive stuff.... but....i just cant stop thinking how a job..that would make the difference somehow..with that id have money for new commputer crap or other art materials and id feel like i have a possible future to improve what i hate about what i am now..i dont know what i doing wrong and feel i should be happy by now.

why am i writing this here...fuck knows...sigh

HEY FUTURE ME LOOK BACK AT THIS AT END OF YEAR...IF YOU'RE NOT MAKING YOUR STORIES OR HAVE THEM AT LEAST PART DONE...AND YOUR "WORK" IS STILL ASKING MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERING THEM..OR YOUR LETTING WHATEVER SUPPOSED COMMISSION WORK OPTIONS OR DIGITAL PRACTICE EXCUSES GET IN WAY OF WRITING THEM..... just stop what your doing and do like we used to...create and enjoy it...not to show off..not for bullshit aspirations of networking or whatever ...not for stupid jealousy which you know is unnecessary cause there probably is just as much honest admiration for what you have than you them... just try to be the inspiration we always tried to be for Lorraine....and anyone we felt needed it.

Its harder now...so i imagine it might perhaps be worse where you are now but...we have always drawn at least...fuck being online and anything with work or money shit..or fitness shit if its in the way...(besides derby which im sure is still helping inspire and keep you resilient) just try to keep the embers going...
Heck if its back to a roaring flame of passionate creative energy then ignore me/you..erm...past you..pffft blah...you know.
