I'm actually gonna write for this one. I feel like it needs some explanation. Also, when you're done reading, you might want to go into fullscreen to fix the grainy-ness of the picture. So, I just started drawing and this simple word of a theme became a giant thing for me. I realized that I have /so many/ aspirations. (Also, real quick, thanks for that definition- I didn't know that the word meant before :P) So, I kind just drew all the things I want to do in my life. Top left: I want to write and illustrate my own book. This is something I've wanted to do since I was, like, five. Top right: I want to go to an art/animation college and become a freelance artist. I love drawing, and animation, and painting, and just anything to do with art. It's my favorite pastime other than reading and music. It just- It makes me happy to do art. Bottom left and bottom right: Youtube. Youtube. Youtube. Youtube. So, my best friend and I wright music, and sing, and music is just such a HUMONGUS thing for us. We- our entire lives revolve around music. Just listening to our favorite singers and musicians has helped us through /so many things/. Even when we fight, which has been less than once, music was the thing that brought us back together. We've written about four really really good songs that mean so, so much to us. When we're old enough, we want to make a youtube channel and start posting our original songs. We'd run the channel together, and we'd also have separate channels where she'd do vlogs and I'd do storytime animations. The crushing thing about this is that- people change. Parents decide to move, personalities differ, friends....just stop being friends. I also know that I can't do all these things at once. I have very low confidence. I know that hate, and mean words would destroy me. The entire meaning of this piece is just about how many things some people want do, but think there's some things they can never do. Time, motivation, and skill is a big part of it. Running out of time to do things, just being really bored and unmotivated to do it, or thinking they're not good enough to try in the first place. Whenever I think this, I just try to remember that there will always be someone who thinks you're good enough, someone who loves your work and wants you to keep going. Someone will always be saying "I hope this person will keep doing what they're doing and having fun with it."
