Hi everyone,
sorry for bringing this here but I just wanted to know if anyone here has been through this before. I have lived in California all my life and moved to Singapore about...two months ago. Im here for two years, but..I miss home so much I just don't know what to do some times. I have met some good people but I miss my friends a lot. It has also really been affecting my art. I haven't drawn ANYTHING worth while since school got out last year and it's starting to bother me. I don't know were to begin, and most attempts end up in frustration, crumpling and throwing away drawing paper like it's toilet paper. Just need to hear what yall think. Advice. Comfort. Calmness. Peace. Thank you.
Ian

Hey! I know what you're going through... when i broke up with my b/f all I could do was hateful pieces of art and bad ones at that. And then when I got back with him I started creating pieces like you would not believe. The homesick thing I don't know much about. I'm an army brat so we moved a lot. I know when i go to college I might have some probs, but it's only 2 hours away from my (now) home city and 3 of my best friends are going to be there. But I do understand how a major depression in your life puts a white blob on your paper. You might want to try something different for a short time. Like poem writing or short stories, or a different media of art like clay or metal. It might help to break your block.

I know what you mean, sortof, been out of the old house for about 3 months now...and I don't really get sick about going back, but I do miss not paying the bills lol..j/k

Anyway, I am starting to like it...cause nothing can beat that feeling of coming home and thinking "Sh!* I don't have to do anything" and not have someone over your shoulder tapping their foot waiting for the dishes to be done...but maybe that is just me...

That is a problem I'm gonna be facing pretty soon. Gonna leave home and the entire country to go to study in Britain. For ~3yrs.
And I'm generally helpless. I'll end up starving to death or being generally malnutritioned(spelling?). I'm a leech, not capable of surviving by myself. Oh well, here's hoping I meet ppl (which is another thing I suck at).
*eep*
