So I'll sort through those wonderful epiphanies right here.
For one, I realised today while talking to a friend on the train, that a lot of people around us are, despite being the same age as us and having gone to the same schools as us, have become very successful in their respective interests be it modelling or being in a band or creating dance crews. We, however, have been doing nothing much other than uni work, normal work, and marvelling at idols. This raised the question of when will we ever get famous and my realisation that I personally will never get famous since I will probably spend the rest of my life in the post-production section of any communications media.
But that is okay, as I am happy to live rather anonymously. But leads to point 2. That is, I seriously need something other than uni work and normal work to give me some sense of achievement and not wallow over getting Credits instead of Distinctions or whatever in assignments, especially since first year doesn't really 'count' towards anything. So now I am trying very hard to write up a script of a comic so I can actually start drawing a complete comic of my own, as currently I'm collaborating with a friend who's writing the script while I draw up the actual pages. And that very manga we're collaborating, I have to confess, is a good story I'll never be able to write myself.
And as for drawing, I've also realised that I haven't really sketched real people for I can't remember how long, and to make up for lost time and practice, I'm setting myself the very retarded goal of drawing 100 sketch portraits under the limits of 30 minutes or 1 hour. I decided this on a whim yesterday, and have so far done 4 / 100 sketches. I'll be proud to even finish 50 by the end of the year.
And talking of what I haven't done for a long time, I also realised that I rarely did any oil painting since my major work last year, and thus I really need to paint something.
Not to mention my desire to learn watercolour ever since... Year 9, and 4 years later I've made no start to that part of artistic education.
So those are my epiphanies. If they count as epiphanies.
And yeah, I really need to do something with my life, don't I? On top of my need to learn to drive and keep learning Japanese and Chinese and my never-going-to-happen start with Korean...
