Question

[fuzzyred]

Why is it that when I get tired (the kind that mixes sleepiness and boredom and an end of your tolerance for bullshit), I want to create things? Typically a fantasy world, either written or drawn, but my skills at both are limited, more so with art than words. I want to explore things and build worlds and make a fancy place, but I often don't have the luxury (the urge often strikes me at work), and I really don't have the skills that would make it possible in any easy way. Strange brain is strange.

I think you answered the question... Strange brain is strange. Nothing wrong with it except the Man's insistence that we part with a third of our existence just to be fed and housed...

😆😆 Thank you for the chuckle. The prevailing answer to most of my personal questions does seem to be "strange brain is strange". For the most part, I am ok with this. I could wish that it didn't complicate certain things (namely social interactions), but I am me, and I have accepted that my brain is slightly off the "typical" track. Also, the more I read the stories by Ysabetwordsmith and Dialecticdreamer, the more I'm realizing some of my difficulties might actually come from missing the bottoms rungs, and not just because my brain is a little odd. So, if I find the right resources, I just might be able to coax my brain into cooperating with me, even if my path to the results is different than most people's.

Yes, I would very much like to be able to skip that part of life. Work eats so much time amd energy, and then I have very little left for what I want to do...
