I've been wasting time...
My mom and I had a talk tonight. It hurt... it hurt a lot. But she had some points that got me thinking about what I need to do.

My girlfriend, intends to go to college... I do not intend to join the military, and I have no monetary means of going to college. I have to make money somehow; not just for me, but for "us"... And if full-blown College and Military are out of the equation, then that leaves only a few options left.

People all around me, all my age, are going into college, or have been in college--or they're working, or in the military, and they're all driving. They're building their futures. They're paving the road to where they want to go in life.

Me? What am I doing?

I'm sitting on my bed, eating junk food and wasting my time moaning and groaning that I can't do anything. I'm meanwhile playing videogames in my only-spare time, watching television and wasting my time with miscellaneous searches on the internet that do nothing but suck my life away. I'm lagging behind... not just in art, but in life itself. I don't have a driver's license... I don't have a job... I have no means of College, and no honest, heartfelt desire to go into military...

I've got to change things, or I'll be stuck in my parents' house until I'm thirty and still suckin' my mom's tits trying to be a fricking parasite for my whole life.

I love you, Dame. You're the best thing that's happened to me in my entire life, and that's why I have to change. For you. For myself. For our future, for my future.

I'm quitting all of this excess stuff I keep wasting my time with.

Forever in my heart I will hold an appreciation of the artwork and the videogames that I've grown up playing, but enough is enough.

I'm about to make some changes in my life starting when I wake up in the morning. If everyone around me is paving the road that they're bound on for their lives, then I need to be doing the same...

For starters, I have to apologize for the first thing I'm going to do.
I'm unwatching anybody and everybody's art except for two people.
I'm deleting all non-photograph image files on my computer. There's a lot.
I'm quitting videogames. Not absolutely completely, but I'm severely limiting how much gaming I do, by an extreme amount.
I'm going to stop visiting a large number of miscellaneous websites that I will not be listing here.
Using the time I will gain by removing these things, which make up a good 80% of my activity, I will begin doing other things that're more beneficial...
I'm going to draw. I will become a true artist. I will open commissions soon, through which I can hopefully build my way towards making ends meet with my art and my writing. I will begin drawing the comics I should've been drawing this entire time. I will study the dynamics of human anatomy and of landscapes and backgrounds, as I should also have been doing this entire time, to improve. This will be my priority one.
I'm going to write. I will become a novelist. I will use whatever time I can spare to write works of literature that I can hopefully sell.
I'm going to proceed. I WILL get my license. I WILL make the money necessary, one way or another, to give this story a happy ending and resolution.

For love. For life. I've been a fool holding myself back. No longer.
