| Have you ever wondered and asked yourself: What am I living for? What is so important to me that I must carry on surviving? I'm not trying to push forward a suicide argument. I've reached a point in my life where I've established that there's only one thing that has motivated me to stay alive. I'm not sure if I will get it, but without it, I don't see any point in living. It's the only thing that really made me feel good about myself and appreciate life. I don't see any other reason in trying to survive in a world that I hate. Everyday I wish that life were just dreams, and that dreams were real life. I do have moments where I appreciate life because it makes me a better person, but soemtimes I also feel that I could be better off dead. After knowing what real love feels like, I can honestly say that I love no family, and I never really understood what was so great about having one. I've lost all of my close friends. Deep inside I feel really pissed off, especially when I know that I couldn't do anything about things that didn't go how I wanted them. I never even cared about fulfilling a successful career. It couldn't even compare to what I want the most. I really swear now, I'm on my last legs. I just feel that I only have one chance to change my destiny. And I'll ask you guys to think again: What are you living for? What is so important to you that you must carry on surviving? I'll also appreciate it if you guys could give me your own answers.

My Dream which i want to come true
My Dream is to become a Mangaka
When i was 6 years old i beginn to draw and still draw till today
and well i have to say i once had the same thoughts like you have
but it all changed when i understand
why i love mangas so much because i want to draw and write my own story
and even if i dont reach my goal i wont regret anything for trying everything possible to reach it
Never give up on yourself no matter what....

| Think of what you'd like to do with your life, then take steps to reach that point. Remember, life has its ups and downs. It may constantly throws shit at you, but if you make it through all the crap you'll find things start going your way again. I lost most of my close friends over the years, but over time I've made new friends. Just keep moving forward and do your best to achieve your dreams.
Basically, I live because that's the only way for me to get where I really want to be.

| I want to prove that I can live on my own.
My life now has been nothing like shit.
My parents don't give a damn about us, and they even separated to begin with.
My love life is life less.
My grades, well, they're passing, except for goddamn Physics and that goddamn Physics witch. Lazy and cruel.
Me. I'm alone. Although, I am accompanied by my siblings, I feel alone. It's like we're not even in the same house. All I know I can trust are my friends. But people keep on saying I can't live on my own, even though, technically, I've been traversing hell alone for 3 years now.
I aim to be a mangaka. And a game concept artist. And an architect.
Those were the only things I strive to harness and improve. And the only reason why I live. To be able to see my work out there, and be proud to say, "That's mine."

That isn't a good thing. There at least must be somebody that you like or somebody that likes you.

| Nice. I'm aiming to work for Dreamworks Animation. I'm (hopefully) going to Purdue to major in Computer Graphics Technology.

That's pretty much how I see it. I don't particularly care if people realize what I've done, I just want to see something cool and know that I did that. That's actually kinda why I got into spriting lol.

Thanks.

Wow. That's nice too...
I'm in to drawing, so yeah.
I plan on taking up Architecture when I enter college because it sure helps if you are able to design sweet buildings in concept arts. And, I'm currently self-studying in the field of realism and manga style. I don't want to be "that guy who could draw manga" or that guy who could draw realistically". I wanna be "that guy who could draw anything". Cartoons, something I already know about. Though, still practicing. And I'm trying to mix realism with manga. It looks good for concept art. Kinda like Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy.
Quote (SimTheDog) That isn't a good thing. There at least must be somebody that you like or somebody that likes you.
By lifeless, I mean bland. No progress at all. Haha. There are some people I like. And I dunno if someone likes me.

| Yeah one of the main reasons I've been trying to teach myself to draw is because I found out it's recommended for animators/modelers to be able to draw traditionally for concept art and the like. And good luck man, from what I hear, Architecture students pretty much learn to get by without sleep lol.

Hahaha.
I've already been trained. My current high school already doesn't make me sleep. Plus, I was busy with a lot of stuff before summer (games, mangas, school, drawing, surfing, flirting). My high school, you see, is like college. The lessons and all. The only difference is that in college, you're on your own, while in my high school, you're practicall in college with training wheels. Something like that. Get the picture?

I find that quite interesting.
In the past, whenever I was asked what I wanted to become when I'm older, I'd tell them that I wanted to become an artist. It was only because I could draw. Everybody else could draw too, so what makes me different. Anyway, as I'm getting older I'm beginning to realise what an artist actually is. Some musicians are referred to as artist, some in the creative arts are considered artists. What actually makes you an artist is when your art has a meaning, can relate to and is versatile. When you have so much control over something, it's conisdered an art. Just live life and ideas will come to you.

Yeah.
I've had a problem recently, where I kept on comparing myself to others. Like this girl, she was good in drawing anime shit, though, I thought it looks too generic. So I didn't mind. Then suddenly I had this mindset to draw generic anime, and wanted to be better than her 'coz everyone kept on praising and praising and PRAISING her. I had praises too, but I couldn't stand having a contender. Then came this other girl. Exceptionally skilled especially in realism. Like fucking hell, she was awesome and I got pissed. So I practiced that too. Then, I thought, I could be better. All I had to do was try. It's because nowadays, I just draw when I feel like it. That's why I practiced and practiced and PRACTICED different styles. I wanted to be better. Then I thought, doing this will lead me nowhere. I will always have a contender. But there's one thing I could do. Not to compete. But to just be who I am. I didn't have to draw like this because of this or that. I should just draw what I want. Then it stuck. The realism and anime thing. So I've been practicing. I'm not that good, but I think I'm okay. All I do now is practice not to compete but to improve.

| You remind me of the past. I was the best artist in every school that I'd been to. I always won the artist award in my school. It got to the point where everybody thought that the teachers were just riding my dick. The last school that I went to had a good artist called Gareth. He was known as the best artist there until I came along. He hated my guts just because I was simply better than him. To be honest, I didn't even care about the rivalry. I'd be challenged all the time and I'd have to keep on telling everybody that I don't draw for the competition, and that's what pissed him off even more. And I'd normally get challenged to ridiculous contests that always involved pornography.

LOL.
I was the best in my previous school. No one dared to compete. Teachers hated mah guts because I was kinda the rebellious sort. So, no competitions for me. They chose those mediocre people, thus, we don't win any of those art competitions. Hahaha. And I don't feel guilty about it at all. But people knew I was the best. High school was a different thing. I was a new person. In a new world. With no one except myself. Nothing to bring. I can't brag about my past life. My whole life was now a blank canvas. And I started to fill it up over the years.

That's good to hear! I like your use of the Canvas in post. I'll actually be posting art of me actually "filling up my canvas" so to say.
