The other night (meaning last night, because "the other night" could translate to a lot of things-but it's not a lot of things, it's just last night), I went to Wal-Mart *shudder* and bought a sketchbook, watercolor pencils, and charcoal pencils. Tonight, I've been drawing. I attempted my first two portraits, ever. I must say, that they didn't turn out half bad. I mean, I'm no Da Vinci or Michaelangelo, but they didn't suck nearly as bad as I thought they would. That being said, I still enjoyed it. No matter how bad they sucked, or not, it was enjoyable.
So that got me thinking. I've never drawn before now, because I've always been afraid of sucking. But if I had just stopped being stupid and started drawing, I could be infinitely better now than I am (whether or not that would make me GOOD or not, is an entirely different story), and I would've had a lot of fun doing so.
So I've decided that from now on, if I feel like I want to do something, and I'm able to do so, I'm going to do it. Forget whether or not I fail at it. If I enjoy trying, at least, then that's all that matters.

that sounds like a good idea, I see some of the stuff I've been telling you is sinking in....
