Day 30 ❤️ - by Maq

‎Okay. So.‎Day 30 was supposed to be out a few days ago and unfortunately, I'm about five days late for this. I'm sorry 😭 It's actually kind of disappointing to me as well, considering how consistent I've been and on the very last day, life happens, and I find myself unable to write about it.‎In my defence, I've been very, very busy. And equally tired. I can hardly feel my fingers properly as I type this 🫠‎One of the reasons for the delay is simply that I was hoping I'd be able to make this an audio post, where I'd thank everyone and also try signing whatever was supposed to come out of my mouth, but since it seems like that's not going to happen anymore until the unforeseeable future, I might as well lay it all bare in text. ‎Well, at least we're here now. Finally 🫠‎Let me start by saying how grateful I am for everyone who've supported me throughout this series 😭 It wasn't something I really shared, or looked forward to sharing, with people or on the group, because it was more of a personal project, but somehow you guys found it and I'm really grateful for all the support you've shown me. To my silent likers and loud commenters, I see all of you and even though I dont always get a chance to respond or even know how to, I just wanted to take the chance to say thank you for everything. You really have no idea how much your support has meant to me.‎Its been a very fun month, to say the least. ‎And a very interesting one, too, because I don't think I realised just how many things I can do at once until I actually started doing them 😅😅‎I drew a lot. I learnt a lot of ASL. I tried learning other languages, even if some of those attempts were brief 😅 I got into animation recently, and I even found myself coming up with new story ideas.‎I didn't do everything I set out to do, in the exact way that I'd imagined, but I think I did pretty good nonetheless.‎One thing I've realised about myself is that I'm very good at being interested in things. But actually getting around to doing them is where things get difficult 😅‎I'm glad I got to do this though. One thing I specifically loved about this experiment is knowing how much I still enjoy my own company more than anything else's, and discovering that I can enjoy being a beginner at something. I don't have to be particularly good at something for it to be worth doing.That said, I thought I'd leave you with a little collection of some of the things I've been up to this past month.Enjoy 😅😅 ASL: Was a little annoyed when I lost my streak<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461821.jpg"/> And art, specifically......animals...<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461817.jpg"/> (I figured that since I couldn't draw people, maybe I could draw it in parts like with) feet...<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000443113.jpg"/> and mouths...<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000438622.jpg"/> and figures...<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461815.jpg"/> <img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000437525.png"/>😅 and caricatures...<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461813.jpg"/> <img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461884.jpg"/><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000438201.jpg"/><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461895.jpg"/> I eventually tried to make a face<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000446012.jpg"/>(I thought it looked a little good even though it looked nothing like the reference 😂😅) And finally...animation?<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461806.jpg"/>(I'm still terrible at actual animation but I actually managed to create my characters. My first ever original piece 😭❤️) German<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461832.jpg"/>Das Leben ist schön, auch wenn es nicht immer leicht ist 🫣 Spanish <img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000461828.jpg"/> Estoy aprendiendo a convertirme en la persona que siempre soñé ser. Estoy dejando atrás las versiones de mí que ya no me representan, aprendiendo a soltar lo que no puedo controlar y aceptando que crecer también significa perder algunas cosas en el camino. No tengo todas las respuestas, y quizá nunca las tenga, pero estoy aprendiendo a confiar en el proceso. Quiero vivir una vida que se sienta mía, encontrar belleza en los pequeños momentos y recordar que no necesito tenerlo todo resuelto para ser feliz. Al final, no se trata de convertirse en alguien perfecto, sino en alguien que se siente en paz consigo mismo.(Yes I know the gap between the languages is huge😭) •••Anyway,I don't know if I'll do another series like this (most probably not), but I've really, really enjoyed this one. Thank you again for being here, for reading, and for making this little project feel a lot less like something I was doing by myself.‎And with that, I think we're officially done😭❤️
