What would happen if all of your dreams came true?

[Kiweevil]

Mine and my partner's college debts would be paid off, first and foremost. I'd move out of my dinky rental place and into a nice place with like, 5 dogs and 50 million bunny rabbits. My comic would be at the very least, a mild success, paving the way for me to get my name out there in the art world and allowing me to do freelance work fulltime. Staying home all day would be a dream <3

Oh, and I would be healthy again. I'm tired of this weak and dysfunctional body of mine

i think this is why you cant think destination-first. its about process; the goal isnt to win an eisner, its to keep making new comics and explore new territory, to push the medium. you dont push the medium once and then think 'well, im done' - you keep pushing and pushing and pushing! you win 1000 eisners! (or, actually, ignore all prizes because none of them matter)

this is especially important because if you spend all your time working towards a fixed destination, youll A: turn down incredible opportunities that dont fit with that goal and B: get to your destination and realise that you do not want the same things that your younger self wanted

and im saying all this because i just dropped out of a degree course i had wanted to study since i was uhhhhhhh seventeen so i know how that shit feeeeeeeeeels
