Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

my road test is on friday and my mom is all threatening me and s**t, and i've realized.

she can't really get THAT mad at me if i fail it, considering all the other things i'm doing.
I've got:
A fairly steady, well-paying job where I'm basically in charge and have a LOT of responsibility.. and it'll look good on my resume to boot.
Not one but TWO freelance projects- a book cover that will be published and a little illustration gig for a former teacher of mine.
A spot in a very exciting art show and workshop process (thank you alaster!) that's going to have a documentary at the very least if not more press than that.
Very high regards from a published comic artist (still can't get over that!).
Enough motivation to keep putting out SOME form of work every day, which is actually quite shocking to me.

I mean I know I emo about all the things I feel like I should be doing and aren't, all the time, but when I look at all the stuff I AM doing..
compare that to say, my sister, who is working housekeeping at a hotel and not even able to get full time hours for that.
or my brother, who's spending his summer making up gym class.

yeah, ok, I think I'm in a pretty good place, thankyouverymuch.
