This month started off well, but after a recent relapse, I’ve been struggling to stay consistent. The cold weather these days makes even regular tasks feel harder. Still, I’m doing my best not to get overwhelmed by the studies I need to finish.
In Python, I haven’t been able to continue with new lessons but revisited some of the earlier chapters I completed. Refreshing those concepts has been helpful to reinforce my understanding.
In Blender, I still need more time to work on the environment course I was testing earlier. On the other hand, I spent some time on a 2D sketch and turned it into a simple animation. It was a fun experience, though the course I’m following is definitely not the easiest for a beginner.
Things haven’t been perfect, but I’m learning to value the small wins because these small wins will eventually lead to a bigger one. Even on tough days, creating something and pushing myself feels like progress. Here’s to keeping the momentum going, step by step.
Here is the output of a simple animation after completing the course.
Hey brother, glad you liked the animation!
(Though honestly, it was something pretty basic. I’ve been a bit lazy these past few weeks, lacking consistency. But your appreciation means a lot! )
It was created using Blender’s Grease Pencil tool, which was a completely new experience for me. I followed a course from CG Cookie, and it was fascinating to see how interconnected Blender’s tools are. Even though it’s a 2D tool, I ended up using some 3D editing modes along the way.
By the way, I think I remember your post about planning an anime series and working on the script. If I’m not mistaken, you were brainstorming ideas for a custom anime series back then, right? How’s that going? Are you still working on it? I was genuinely looking forward to seeing an episode of it someday!
And lol, I don’t think I’m ready for that extensive level of support yet, but who knows, someday we might give it a shot if things go well on my end! XD
There was a guy in my class who is good with animation. We had some progress earlier but parted ways after completed Btech. Both of us have different priorities these days.
But I do think of the plot when free. A lot of changes has been made wrt plot because of some inconsitencies , lack of realism and added created a new plot in some scenes to solve those. But since my animation guy was not present , these were no further developments nor ask a person for feedback.
Also I created an OST for an anime I am planning to make.
Now I am focusing more on completing the plot. Then I plan to learn animation like you. Lets see what after some time.
Ah, I see, that’s why things got a bit stuck. But it’s awesome to hear that you’re still refining the plot and making improvements, it really shows how much efforts you’re putting into it. Creating an OST is such a big milestone, too. Once the plot is complete, learning animation will definitely take it to the next level. Take your time with it, and who knows? Someday, we’ll get to see your vision come to life. Wishing you all the best, keep going strong, brother!
Reflecting on Today: Letting Go and Moving Forward
Today, I made a tough decision to delete my account on a study platform I’ve been using for a while. At first, things were good, but over time, I realized it wasn’t helping me grow. Instead, it became a distraction from what really matters. Lately, I’ve been drowning in self-doubts and insecurities, reflecting on past mistakes while trying to balance my responsibilities, my goals, and my relationships. Some days, I feel like I’m doing well, but then I catch myself losing focus again. It’s not easy to admit, but I know I’ve let myself get sidetracked by things that aren’t aligned with where I want to go.
I’ve hurt people in the past, and that guilt still lingers. Sometimes, I feel like I’ve made too many mistakes to move forward, but deep down, I know I can’t change what’s happened. All I can do is make better choices from here on out.
Right now, it feels a bit lonely, and I feel down. But I also know that growth doesn’t happen when everything is easy. It’s about doing the hard work, even when it’s uncomfortable. I need to focus on what truly matters: my learning, my progress, and my future.
I’m taking it step by step, not because I have it all figured out, but because I believe in the process of growth. I’ll keep pushing forward, even when it feels uncertain. The time is running out, and like I told myself this year, 2025 won’t be a year of regret. I’ll finish the things I set out to do this year, so next year isn’t just another year where nothing has changed. Feelings are temporary, and this too shall pass. I hope someday I can forgive myself for the mistakes I’ve made.
