#gah#yes this#this is why I grew up equating 'talent' with 'a desperate thirst for this thing and only this thing'#people trying to get me to take literally any other path than 'i wanna draw cartoons'#goddammit if it were easy i wouldn't be tearing my hair over a 12 page book right now#'ur so talented i wish i could do accountancy'#'ur so talented i wish i could do project management'#'ur so talented i wish i could do housework'#everything is goddamn hard and we're in it together#except fuck you for thinking this comes easy for me#i'm so sorry for yelling out of the blue but i may have one or two tender spots in this area
