I bought some Prismacolor sketching pencils today as well as a kneaded eraser, pencil sharpener, and sketchbook. I saw a character I really want to draw. I haven't had the itch to draw in literally YEARS! I'm so scared it'll turn out awful but if it does, I can try again. And again. And again. Forty pages worth of agains. And when those forty pages are full, I can buy another sketchbook and fill those pages too. Over and over and over. And in time, I'll improve. It's unrealistic for me to expect to be the best, but I can be good. And I can create. I just need to stick with it and keep trying.

(This one REALLY struck a chord with me. I've had a terrible habit of getting frustrated with anything less than perfection and beat myself up for it. I am trying to change my outlook and improve my experience, attitude, and skill set.)
