My dad was into finance and business, an asset manager, somehow all his kids became artists in some way. What?! Now we're all poor and the only way we're alive is because of him. He tried to let us live a dream but the world is a nightmare. Mood indeed

after spending some time with kids and schools i've been like. amazed. at what children can do when their parents enroll them in extracurriculars. like if i got into gymnastics would i be normal? would i have gone into business????

I had this thought when I got laid off - "why couldn't I choose working at a bank as a kid" but the anwser is art is the only thing I want to do and there was never another option. Luckily I'm not conflicted with my parents so I can live with them while saving for my own flat.

My parents made me go to vet school and all I got was severe bipolar disorder and still can't pay rent because I can barely more than 10 hours a week I think the economy just hates us 😭

its weird being a freelance artist and you can list off things that make people go "oh wow that's so cool" but also you cant pay rent good

That’s a mood. I probably would be better off if I had gone into finance. Freelancing is rough

extra fun points when your sibling does cosplay, but mainly focused on becoming a teacher and now makes €€€, while i never even had my little toe leave the art/creative path 😭 i mean thanks for the support mom, but now i'm only smart enough to do retail 😔
