Well... I'm making a folder dedicated to your art...
Me:
*reads
*falls in love
I predict I'm going to:
*keep the tab open for days
*sis will accidentally quit safari/chrome
*reaction: NOOOOOO
Conclusion:
*Download everything

Looking at your art gives me sparks of hope that I can do this! From time to time, I'll look in my downloads and thank my lucky stars that I found you!

Your message is so true. And I appreciate that you do strips to speak to other artists. The day I read this one, I really needed it!

Getting out of those dead-end and soul-sucking jobs can often be easier said than done, but not as difficult as it often seems. As you say, though, if you don't know how you're going to get out of the trap, it's going to be a lot harder to accomplish the feat.

I always feel like these are like.. talking to me saying what I already know, the road isn't easy, but it also says that it can be done, and that makes me feel better through hard times~

Thank you. That's all that I can really think to write, is thank you. I'm really struggling with an illness right now, with the closest diagnosis being "it's rare" and a bunch of medication thrown at it. It often prevents me from leaving my bed, let alone drawing and writing or even thinking about going back to school, but that's all I do now. I think and I plan and I hope. So thank you.

I wish all my best to you in your struggle. There are no easy answers to the situation you are in, but keep hoping and moving forward! I'll say a prayer that you get better and things turn out okay.
