Reply to this meme by yelling "words!", and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you.

1. Scene
ahahah its funny i should get this word because i have very little patience for scene kids

2. Mantra
this is a very very perceptive one.
i do have a few mantras that i live by, that i always seem to go on and on about, but i think the main one is HARD WORK. i'm most vocal about it when it comes to art, but its an overarching theme of LIFE. you've got to have drive and work hard to accomplish what you want. every day i'm working to improve myself and see if i cant help improve another's day.

3. Individuality
it takes all types. i really respect people who do their own thing and make their own path. sure its great to have someone to look up to, to motivate yourself to do better and help you figure out how you're going to reach that next level, but its really stifling to you as an individual to follow directly in someone else's wake. yes there are definitely times where you have to do things a certain way and doing your own thing IS wrong, for example you cant make up your own order of operations and expect to get a problem right, an architect cant say "yeah well i like this better even though its a little unsound" in these situations individuality is not the point, the end product is. for other more open ended things, though--art is an easy example-- if someone sacrifices their individuality for a finished product that's almost as good as their idol, i feel "what's the use" since there is no right "answer" its what you bring to it.

4. Intimidation
I AM SINISTAR, RUN COWARD, RUN RUN RUN. ahaha no, i'm not like that. I used to get really intimidated in a lot of situations, but all for the same reason--i was socially awkward and had low self confidence. somewhere along the line i realized that whoever i felt intimidated by was just another person like me, and it was probably making /them/ feel awkward that i was humbling myself so much/self deprecating at every opportunity (that is, unless they were a total douche, in which case later for 'em). i learned to keep in mind that the other person was, well, just another person and if i end up disappointing them there will be others (but i dont /try/ to disappoint people ahah).
i also have been told that i can be kind of intimidating to other people (and thats for internet-art-world as well as offline) THATS SO WEIRRRD and like i mentioned above, kind of makes /me/ feel awkward, like why wont anybody come near me ;_;. ok i might seem a little weird sometimes but i try to be chill and friendly enough.

5. Canines
i draw the doges.
there used to be a time where i didnt draw nearly as many doges. that time is over :<
