Well, I was drawing today, and I was thinking about how great life would be to be a freelance artist. So, I did a little research and I read a bit about comic book artists. And for the first time in my life, I felt like this was something I really could see myself doing! Its not the feeling I get when I tell people I'm gonna be a doctor, it was like I was totally lifted. So now, here I am, dreaming about becoming an artist. A medical career was something I never really wanted to do. My whole life I had always had people pushing me into the medical career until I finally gave in. So for a good 5 years of my life, I'd tell people what they wanted to hear. None of what I'd say had come from the heart. But now, I realized that the person I want to be is far from being a doctor. I want to have an editor. I want to work with people that love art as much as I do. I'd love to go to a convention and have people tell me they've been reading one of my works. I'd work on my own time. Doing this would allow me to express my creativity EVERY SINGLE DAY. I want to draw so much to the point where i'd hate it, but at the same time love it. (Weird, huh?)
I really want to thank my friend Melissa for telling me about all the things she wants to do with the world and how she wants to change it. Its really inspiring. Hearing her freely talk about her interests without a problem. I just pray for a day when I can tell my mom that being a doctor isn't something I want. And I want her to accept it. I want her to be proud of me! So people, pray for me!! That I may one day be the next Stan Lee, or Hayao Miyazaki!
