they freaking lied to me about "time efficiency"

getting into my last years of school, everyone told me to stop doing my hobbies(which are all art related) my parents, school counselor, even distant relatives. they were worried that "it's going to take time out of my day" and "i have to focus on my school stuff". and i did, i stopped drawing. it's been a few months since the last time i sat down and actually drew something and now im a week away from graduating, my grades are STILL dookie and nOW I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRAW. THE ONLY THING I WAS GOOD AT.

note to self, don't listen to anyone when it comes to shit they haven't been able to accomplish. learn from their mistakes, yeah, but completely become what they want you to be? nuh uh.

now i have to relearn everything i taught myself  (;_;).
