Can I tell you a story? It was back when I was 17 in highschool when one of my art class teachers brought in a friend who ran a small local gallery. His friend scanned over our artworks and asked about mines. Asked if I wanted to to do any future illustration work when I got older and I answered no. He said to at least consider it. When I came home, I told this story during dinner. My mom slammed her first into her bowl of rice and screamed at me and called me a retard for listening to some strangers career advice when she and my dad work so hard to raised me to take a career in STEM. Thing is that I never even said anything about wanting be an artist. Fast forward a years and I'm at my classes for mechanical engineering at University. I've habituated myself to the college of fine arts when I have free time. I've had some of my stuff acknowledged by a few other students and a couple professors who those students showed me to. Even got some rapid fire critiques. Maybe that's not "making it" to you. But being recognized by a few peers certainly feels like making it to me.
