I’m too tired to rewrite this from a conversation where I blew off, so just gonna copypasted it in its fiery short sentenced mess (it goes to better mood under readmore I assure you).
——————————————————————————–
calling it [drawing for years for fun] a useless skill is beyond BS
at face value? yeah but so many other things one does as a kid or a person with a hobby, could be considered a totally useless skill
handwriting, its dead
crotchetting, machines can make the shapes for you instead
gardening, it’s just slapping colours together
and basically it was said handwriting was IMPORTANT
but as everyone got older businesses/society was more and more like “no. it’s useless”
by the logic of useless
kids playing is useless
it wont’ get you a job
it won’t get you PHD in whogives a fuck cause youre gonna be at MCdonalds anyways
I’ll tell you what these things are useful for
mental stimulation, fun, is for stimulation and growth, even if perhaps its not used in later years, and sometimes, it CAN come back in the later years
I may be barely even able to draw fucking stick figures now
but I’ll tell you those times of drawing on my own in highschool were not useless
they were not pointless
they had value
even if the Capitalistic World believes that oh hey you can’t be our slave for that, too bad, it’s shit
cause those words from such a world are lies, slander
minds are a branching system
they grow and expand in differrring fields, ideas, hobbies
some end, some grow further on
the ones that ended were not for naught, they were an experience, learning what can and cannot
just
you drawing is not useless
those times doing it for time are not useless
not pointless
that is nihilism that I will not stand for
the world has enough shitty enough things, it is neither right for you or I to say that our positive experiences were shit
