Life update + thoughts
Jul. 5th, 2024 12:11 amI was right about my grade for the exam resit, so I scored high enough to graduate. So that's really nice. Heard the news two days ago and I still have to keep reminding myself that I don't have to study anymore. It's just so burned into my system that I automatically go "I need to study again." when I haven't for a while, even if there's nothing to study. I did go to school today, though, because there was an open mic night. I already usually go there, but this time Thalia was also performing! Really cool. Cool to see her again in the first place. I haven't been around her for a while and shit gets kind of boring, honestly. But tonight I had fun. Saw her perform and messed around with my comrades. Also saw Them-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, which was super fucking awkward, but uh... oh well, whatever. I tried to just ignore them.
Aside from this shit, I've mostly just been drawing. I thought Art Fight was in June, so I thought I'd missed it because I had been too busy to participate, but at the last moment I found out that Art Fight is actually in JULY, so I made an account and decided to join for the first time, now that I don't have other stuff I constantly need to do. In the first four days, I already made four drawings and posted them to Art Fight. And someone actually drew me! Well, my OC, but my OC is basically me, so me. :P
In completely different news, today I found out that only about 9% of the world population is white. Seriously, apparently it's the rarest "race" (it's more of a cultural connection tied to appearance and heritage, but alright) there is. I expected there'd probably be more Asian and maybe even black people than white people, but 9% is way lower than I expected. It kind of blew my mind. It got me thinking about, how now with more and more interracial dating, eventually no one will be fully white anymore. No more natural blond hair or blue eyes. Such a strange thought to think about. I'm guessing in the far future, people all over the world will look similar because it's now easier to travel the world and move and fall in love with someone from a different background. Hell, my boyfriend is Asian! Due to globilization, people will physically start looking like each other. And the different cultures will merge into one big, all-accompanying global culture. I honestly think that's sad. The world will look less diverse, and a lot of joyful cultural activities and myths might get thrown away. I think that people all over the world being unique makes them so interesting. But right now I can't help but think that people like me are dying out, and that in the future a lot of culture will be lost. It's... blowing my mind. I guess I hope I'm wrong, although I'm not sure if the people of the future will even care about losing their culture...
