i am trying to get into art school.. i am at a point in my life where happiness isnt as important as fulfillment.. i have been coasting through life until just recently.. im about 30 years old.
all this time i have been maintaining a life of approval from others, constantly seeking approval from others. what people do day to day to maintain life, i did it. i worked in the restaurant industry, worked in it long enough to be able to work the front, work in the kitchen, cook a little, and managed it. i had a job, my own place, a car, and i was paying my own bills. i was a functional working citizen of our society... i was miserable.
the realization came to me that when i am not drawing.. i am not happy.. i am not fulfilled, i am depressed..
now i realize what i must do to achieve my fulfillment in life. i want to go to art school.
i am a transient and it seems like i am always on the move.. i sleep out on streets from time to time.. but i have my goal in sight and i will achieve it or die trying!
thank you for taking the time and looking at my stuff, thank you for the words of encouragement, and thank you for making my journey easier :)
much love and respect
James
