Update on the phone Experiment
Posted 3 years agoYep! I'm definitely gonna stick with the rules I have created for myself!
Since I've started, I've noticed I've been a lot more attentive throughout the day! I've improved my social skills and have started talking to my friends and classmates! I have even taken to reading more which has been a boost to my mental confidence!
Best of all, I have fixed my sleep schedule which has helped improve my mood, and now I'm no longer relying on coffee to stay awake! The extra time at night gives me time to pray too and get closer to God, which has been a HUGE boost!
I really don't know why I haven't done this sooner! I'll continue to post other updates on things that I have found!

Cellphone Use Concerns and Experiment
Posted 3 years agoSo, I'm sitting here at 2 AM on Easter morning, and I've realized something. I have become addicted to my phone, and it has definitely caused me some problems. My sleep schedule is non-existent, I'm constantly taking too long on my homework, I get distracted on apps such as Twitter and YouTube which ultimately waste my day away, It takes away time that I could be using to draw, and constantly being on the internet has made me tremendously susceptible to lust which has been an ongoing struggle for me for awhile. This also inhibits my ability to process information and to think of new art ideas as well as the ability execute them in a timely manner. So, definitely a big problem. Therefore, while my mind was active, I took the liberty to write down some rules concerning my phone use in the hopes that it may improve my psychological health and my sleep schedule as well.
Malakar's Personal Cellphone Use Rules:
1. No phone use after 9 pm. This rule can only be void if used to contact family or for something useful like prayer.
2. No phones in the bathroom
3. Do not touch phone until homework is finished. Only exceptions are if family calls or if you need to look up homework answers while out and about
4. Your phone is a phone. Use it to socialize, and not to waste time
5. Focus mode on Sundays. Take a day off from the device in order to regain your situational awareness, and to appreciate God and God's great Earth. Only use phone for calls from family
6. Make it a goal to use your phone as little as possible throughout the day. Talking to friends and family is fine and encouraged, but try to stay tuned with life and the time, and don't waste your day away on social media apps like Twitter
I'm really hoping this will mitigate some of my issues and help with my poor time management and self control skills as writing things down often helps me remember them. I'll probably write another blog a week later with an update on my progress as it will be quite interesting to see what happens.
If you do something similar, if this inspires you to do something similar, or if you think this whole thing is just dumb, feel free to let me know in the comments. See yall around!

Real talk
Posted 3 years agoI never thought I would have to say this, but it has become clear to me that it needs to be said. This is my art channel. I post art here that I draw and that may be political. I believe everyone is entitled to post their art and views on their channel, and I can post mine. If you do not agree with my views you are welcome to ignore them, or if you dislike me for them, just block me. It is unfair, rude, disrespectful, and oppressive to come to my channel, go to my dms and insult me for having a differing opinion when I never show that sort of disrespect to anyone else on FA. I see content from artists all of the time that I may disagree with, however I never give them crap for it because they are entitled to have their own opinions. Therefore, I expect that people should have the decency to do the same. Learn to disagree and get along, because Goddamn we are fucked as a civilization if we cannot understand something as basic as different people have differing opinions.
To anyone who I've Inspired
Posted 3 years agoYou are more than welcome to talk to me and to use my art as reference images. I draw to make people happy, and it means the world to me if that inspired other artists - especially beginners - to do the same. In fact, feel free to send me what you draw! I'd love to see it! And to those who are just starting out, art is a journey and we all start out somewhere, and we are all unique in our own ways! Don't give up and you'll go a long way! And most importantly, feel free to reach out or look at stuff you like for help! It's how you learn and improve! I wish anyone who reads this a great day or night, and I hope your pillow is cold on both sides when you sleep tonight lol.
