"do what you love and the money will come" Sanaa Lathan
I want to a benefit dance show a couple weeks ago. Watching it made me realize I've had too many talents that i just let go. First it was dance, I would have been dancing for 12 years if i didn't quit. Next it's Drawing + Graphic Design and Writting. So yesterday I came home and sharpened my colored pencils and began again. I can't sit here and waste my talents to fit what my parents want me to be. I've been drawing since I could hold a friggin pencil! Out of all the bad ass kids in my family, I was always the one in the corner minding my business with a pencil and stacks of paper. Sure they'd love if I was a lawyer,doctor, or whatever. BUT THATS NOT ME! Every family has those 3 cousins that they love to compare. It's me, B, and P. B's a friggin genius and Porcha is high school graduate with 2 kids and on drugs. Every time we hear a rumor about P they look at me as if that's what my future will hold also. I'LL BE DAMNED! They expect me to fail and it makes me work even harder.
I loved to design but those damn swagger jackers took the fun out of it at times. I'd spend hours on an image only to find it slapped on someone elses page (or if they tried to be slick, they'd set the layer property to Screen or Multiply). Have people message me and offer to purchase me domains just so they could get all into my shit and leech some more. Thats truly why I stopped, it just wasnt fun anymore. But I've realized I can't let other people take my spirits away. I mean it's not my fault they weren't blessed and have to steal from everybody else
My family may not think double majoring in Fashion Marketing and Graphic Design is the best idea, but hey whatever. I'd rather do what I love than be stuck in a sadiddy office regreting what I didnt do
So yes, IM BACK AT IT!
