all the pleasure is worth all the pain
I’m losing my focus, gradually bit by bit I see it walking out the door. Who would have thought? Tsuqi is actually slacking… I can’t fight it anymore! *gasps of horror* But I’m human too… eventhough sometimes I wish I’m not and can churn out work 24/7 without dying from exhaustion. My supply of adrenaline (and caffeine) is severely exhausted as of now.
Sometimes working on one single project for so darn long (approaching 9 months, with 5 weeks more to go) can mentally drive a person insane. ME. insane. Frankly, I’M FREAKING BORED WITH THE FREAKING PROJECT. There, I’ve let it all out. Dragging a 3 month project out into 10 months or so is painful to say the least! In TOA, we always complained that we were never given enough time… yet now I had all the time in the world, and I got bored. Amazing.
Is the pleasure worth all the pain ? Will I find pleasure in seeing the finished product? Or would the pain of labouring over this finally take its toll on me? How I wish I have answers to all these questions.
I’m still hanging on… & this is why:
WE BECAME DESIGNERS
We became DESIGNERS because at some point in our lives
we drew a picture, or combined words and images,
or visualised an idea, and experienced what might be called
the thrill of creation – something didn’t exist; now it does,
AND I MADE IT HAPPEN!
~ Michael Bierut
I still want the thrill of creation to brighten up my life. Please god, give me the strength to proceed.
