Millions of lives


One thing is all I need. Many say a significant other or a family member or an elctric device. The one thing I really need is my sketch book or any empty sketch book. My dream job is to become a game designer. I may not be the best drawer around, but it is what I feel when I hold that number 2 or led pencil in my hand and I stain the stainless white paper. All my worries are gone. My heart ache, the stress, the inner me dying all goes away. Drawing and creating characters or drawing a certain scene make me escape the harsh realities I come across. This is why I see myself as a video game designer. In school they always tell us to pursue a career or something that makes you happy. Although many people I know do not stand behind me in pursuing the career I have not nor will I give up. The passion for making my drawings my ideas come to life and for another human being to enjoy that character is what fuels the dim light bonfire at times. It is almost like pouring 50 thousand gallons of gasoline in a fire. It brings life to me. That is why my sketch book is something I need in my life.
