Blah
I want to finish my coursework, but I also want to quit.

I want to finish my commissions but I can't take the time away from coursework.

I want to paint something, ANYTHING else, but I feel guilty about not working on commissions.

I love my family, but I also want to smack them and then run away. Anyone in the UK need a cook? A gardener?

(Disclaimer: [info]phurie_dae cannot cook or garden.)

I want to move out and have my own place to live, but I don't have money coming into my bank.

I want money coming into my bank, but I don't have time to get a job yet.

...

Basically, I just want the world to stop and let me breathe for five seconds.

Excuse me while I copy/paste this into my journal. Minus the coursework bit.

STUPID COMMISSIONS.

I WANT to do my commissions. They're for a good friend who has been terribly patient with me. And I'm also broke...

It's easy to get overwhelmed. How much coursework do you have left? Sometimes, just concentrating on that one thing will make the rest seem workable.

But oh yes, I truly understand what you're going through. As for painting just for the joy of it? I'd say shoe-horn it in. It will go a long way in lowering your frustration levels.

Er. A few paintings, a handful of sketches, then a bit of sticking down and a short report. Not a HUGE amount, and I'm getting through it. But dear god, I want it done. Done and gone. "The best days of your life", my ass...

Oooh, that is a lot of work. One thing at a time, darlin'. You'll get through it.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm plowing my way through this book, and I feel like I'll be writing forever. However, I'm using the illustrations you made for me along with some YouTube from 1492-Conquest of Paradise to motivate me. : )
