This year was quite an emotional one. A lot of things happened but I think I matured emotionally from all of it (Hopefully, anyways. Future actions will confirm it).

Also, I’ve been making friends at school. I’m thankful for them because they inspire me to take my art more seriously. This year was more of an eye-opener than anything because of that.

I want to be a better artist, more than anything. I can whine about how I wish I took my art more seriously in collage, or how I wished I took art classes during high school.

But this is now and I’m going to spend the rest of my time from here forward trying to step up my art.

Last night I tried to picture myself just ~getting by and not really publishing a comic. Trying to think realistically about where I was headed yaaah know?? I don’t even know where I’m going to be after collage. Aaahaaha God help me.

However, one thing is certain— I know I sound naive when I say this and a lot of people might shake their heads at me, but I will be a published comic artist one day. This is my life goal.
