Man, money troubles have been on my brain lately. My girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and I really want to get her something, but my paychecks aren't very big and I've already commited to making some other purchases, so after her birthday I'll be bankrupt once again and that's going to upset her because she doesn't want to feel like she's causing me stress. On the other hand, my best friend just recently put up a GoFundMe page because she has a very yound daughter and a son on the way, and their living conditions have been very bad. They're trying to get enough money to make a down payment on the house, but with teen pregnancy in your life you don't have a lot of financial security. I've been donating a small bit of each of my paychecks to her page, and a lot of other people have been very generous, but we're still only 1/4th of the way to the goal. I don't want her daughter to get sick again, and her new baby boy could be at risk too.
Money troubles? Man, I share those feels. We have saved some money up in an easy access ISA account, and we keep having to dip into it due to insufficient funds and surprise payments. My partner feels terrible because he couldn't afford a gift for my birthday, and I reassured him that I treated myself to a dress, some new jeans and that could be his b-day present to me, as we share the money intake. Don't worry about it too much, I also worry that I cause my partner stress, he basically cares for me, and I try everything I can to let him de-stress, take it easy etc. I handled changing party plans and he's going to help set up the snacks and order the cabs, it's just working together to make stressful situations much less harrowing to both of us. My 'cousin' of 15/16 is pregnant, and being a minor going through pregnancy in Britain, she has her own house and luckily the father is still around in her life. I wish your friend all the best, I wish it could be easier for her. The fund page was an excellent idea, and you're a very supportive friend donating what you can.
Thanks Sinder, you're the best. I feel like things are hard all over when it comes to money. My friend will hopefully pull through with a little more help, and the rest of us have her back. As for my girlfriend, she's been really wonderful and sympathetic to my financial situation, though I often wish I could do more for her. At the very least I try to be there when she needs me, and to help her through her tough times when I can.
I wish I had a so. but my town is devoid of the type of person that I like. but im going to buckcon this month, so I got that going for me , wich is nice.
It's hard to judge the personality of every person in an entire town. Also, people don't really fit into categories like that. Humans are too diverse to type, except in the most vague of ways. Nobody has a romantic "type" either, they only have zones of familiarity and comfort. Once you step out of those bubbles that you live in, that's when you really meet the people who change your life and connect with you. Just keep trying. I have found that the best plan of action for someone who is interested in romance is to put yourself in as many situations where you are comfortable and happy while simultaneously being around other people. You expose your inner passions and feelings, and someone will eventually display some interest.
So I think I'm gonna try to make a small animation thing tomorrow, well in a few hours at least. Though I know I can't do the one I want so I'll have to make a practice one for that one. I wanna do something simple like have celestia's mane flow and have her blink before I try the other one. I have no idea which would be more complicated. The mane seems like it would be easy enough but I've been fooled before.
Thanks. It's been a long annoying kinda thing. What with quitting twice prior to this now third attempt at it. Since that time starting in April I've been more serious about learning things and whatnot.
Yeah, I know you've gotten even better than you were when I was active on deviantart and i saw your posts. I don't really go on anymore, but I still check out your page sometimes. I like that you've kept your style pretty consistent but you've refined your basic technique.
Thanks. It's am emo princess horse The style thing isn't by choice, I don't like it. I feel it doesn't stick out enough compared to others. Side note: The gif is broken and won't export correctly or something, probably because of the size. Guess it doesn't like 3000 x 3700. I can't be bothered to draw all of the frames again. This does mean I can't do the animation thing I really wanted. Bleh.
@Echoax- Lolz. I was checking out your art thread, and I have to say you have really nice art work. Especially the femslash.
