Hey everyone,
I'm back in Ireland, after six months away in Scotland. Its definitely been a learning experience.
Growing closer to some people, and more distant to others. There was definitely a lot more freedom over there, and everything I had and did was borne from my own work and my own effort. That's easily under-rated. I was in shape, productive, and doing grand. In theory.
At times it felt like I was just running away, all over again. Something was intrinsically wrong with me, and I wasn't manning up and facing it.
Funny thing is, the me that left Ireland would be quite happy to keep running.
Character growth is a bitch.
So now I'm back, and I've some things I need to face head on.
One of these things is living in Ireland off my own steam. It isn't cheap, it isn't easy. But I've come to the conclusion that everyone has to live somewhere. It might as well be near friends and family. Is that me chickening out again? I don't know, to be honest.
I'm greedy as sin- I want the experience of travelling around the world, meeting new people and working on all these fantastic projects, but at the same time I'm a COMPLETE home-bird, who wants to be around the familiar and be accepted. The two may not come hand in hand.
COMICS. This is where comics are an absolute blessing. I could potentially work on all of those projects from the comforts of my own home. I had initially thought of comics as a stepping stone to film, but once I fell into this world it grew on me. My book collection has pretty much exploded, and I love the diversity of the medium. Like film, but better. Now with digital comics, the potential for audio interaction is more possible. I see a very bright future for the medium, and I'd love to get involved.
No more moaning about not being good enough. If you plan properly and do your research right, there's no reason not to do top quality work.
I suprised myself when I was in Scotland with some of the work I put out, in the best way. Coming back here is a distraction, definitely. But you know what they say, all work and no play.
I think I'm starting to get the balance. Now, some money would be nice XD
Merry Christmas everbody
