In 5 years time I hope to be nowhere near where I am now. I want to make something of myself that doesn't include a marriage, kids or a mortgage. I want my art to be displayed in galleries, my books to be published, my comic books read. I want to make a difference in the way people think. I want to have a hand in stopping racism and homophobia and be the person my friends can lean on for support.
The problem is it's hard to justify not wanting a family or security to my family (sometimes even to my friends). Believing in your art is difficult when you don't have the courage to believe in yourself and friendships are far more complicated than that.
I just wish I wasn't so shy, but I'm working on it (all of it).

::hugs:: Your friends love you and believe in you. We just tease you a lot about kids and family because you have such a strong aversion to both =D We would never tell you to settle down and be serious about it. <3
