Thanks for the info, I always like seeing these

If it's so easy, give it a try

Your style is something I've always wanted to learn, but I never knew where to start. There’s so much happening in your process that isn’t obvious when looking at the final image. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

I was thinking that too. It's really good.

I'm starting to run out of movies to choose from and wanted to branch out into other genres while still keeping it classic with a bit of romance. This one has magic and is supposed to be funny.

That's a good idea. I'm nearing the bottom of a big bag of jasmine rice right now. When it's time to replace it, I'll probably get long-grain brown rice.

Thanks! I just started eating healthy again, and I wouldn't really call myself a vegan, but a lot of the recipes I like can easily be made vegan. This one is so easy to make.

Hell yeah. I was eating the vegetable part straight out of the bowl around midnight last night.

Nice, I'm looking forward to it

I didn't save this one, but it progressively became darker and more damaged. I added the cracks in the road, the fire, and the burned out car.

Thanks. I'm trying to get back into making images again. Need to find a balance, though.

It's basically reddit, but with more Linux users. You didn't know?

Oh, yeah, I understand why. I just thought it'd look cooler if it were possible.

Yeah, that was intentional. I wanted him to hold the gourd, but the images never really came out right.

I'm glad you guys like it. I'm going to keep adding to it.

I actually found that book and managed to download a copy. I’ll start reading it tomorrow.

I’ve definitely noticed times when I’ve been in each of these states. I’ll give breaking things down into “Thoughts, Feelings, Behavior” a try too.

Thanks again for all the advice and information, it’s been really helpful!

Thanks, I use most of these techniques too. The bottom-up process you mentioned for writing is really helpful for a lot of things. I used to write documentation for work, and writing things down as if I were explaining them to someone else, like you suggested, is a great way to see things as a whole. I've started using a journal in the same way, just collecting my thoughts and trying to put them all together. Exercise has been a game changer. I've started running in the mornings and evenings, as well as lifting weights. I hate to admit it, but the exercise people were right lol

Yeah, same here. I was really impressed with it. I've been watching these movies without knowing much about them beforehand, and it was a nice surprise to discover this one.

I remember playing this one too

No, not really. I'm somewhat of a recluse. There have been specific people at work who have been on the receiving end, but unless I was unmuted or something, they would never know about it.

I feel things a little too strongly sometimes, but I’ve found something that helps. Another commenter shared this with me. I still don’t understand all of it, but I think the part about ignoring emotions is related to my issue.

I’ve started keeping a journal, and whenever I feel overwhelmed, I write down whatever I’m feeling. If I remember, I also try to practice mindfulness. It’s only been two days, but I’ve used the journal at least a dozen times, and I can practice mindfulness anytime.

It actually works. I've been silent all day almost.
