There are a lot of things I miss doing that aren't...commercially viable. I don't know how else to put it. Because they are productive, and I do enjoy them, but they are never going to make me money.
I wrote, in a small notebook I've been using for life things, the full list of bugs for animal crossing. With a box to check off, and their prices. I want to have the fish as well. but it took a while to do just the bugs. So fish will be another time.
I have a binder with clear sheets, where I've glued comics I cut from the newspaper to printer paper. I love this binder. I want to do something similar for internet things I love. I've been saving the screenshots. I just haven't started this projects.
Just books full of things I enjoy, with the added joy of them being compiled in a single place. The feeling of a full binder or book.
When I got laid off 2 years ago, I had already started a similar small notebook. Even looking at the parts where I was upset, is wonderful. It's not like a journal, it's like when people do those drawings of presentations. It's condensing my thoughts into what's really going on. Which I think will help with therapy also. My emotions are fleeting and while you shouldn't let your emotions alone run your life, it is also bad when you have them and they float away while nothing it done about it.

Made my dad business cards for father's day.
I'm disappointed in them, and I feel like I didn't do enough? But I always kind of feel like that. I'm always amazed at people who create art and give it to their parents. Maybe that works better in a house where everyone is not also artists.
