Waiting until I feel completely ready.

I don't know. I hope I'll still be drawing for a living, even if the job looks different.
What will you leave behind?
Comparing every sketch to something generated in ten seconds.
What do you hope to keep?
The messy sketchbooks. Especially the bad pages.

Honestly, I hope AI eats the spreadsheets, not my job. I want to finish work before dinner.
What will you leave behind?
Checking work messages in bed. I'm bad at this.
What do you hope to keep?
Sunday lunch at mum's. And my very unproductive walks.

What will you leave behind?
Pretending I have a five-year plan.

My friends from the library. We mostly talk, to be fair.

Turning every hobby into a side hustle.

Singing badly while I wash the dishes.

Writing birthday cards by hand.

What will change?
I hope for new personal joys that make me — and the people close to me — happy.
What will you leave behind?
Fear. I want to feel free to do whatever I want, change my plans, and be spontaneous.
What do you hope to keep?
My work. I hope AI helps me do it better, but doesn’t take away everything I still love doing myself.
