Description
Highly inspired off of *cartoongirl7 's recent tumblr post [link] .I love the trailing cursive style, I hope to use it more.
This is a self portrait. The more I've stared at it the less confident I feel in the words.
I know I come off very wild-childy IRL. I think it's safe to say that this part of me pushes a lot of people away. That I'm very unappealing to many people; friendship or romantically.
So, I'm just trying to be me. I'm going to continue to try and just be the me that lets me try and have the most fun at life. Regardless of who's at my side because of that.
I think I'm too selfish to do anything else.
well, forward march!
Kelly

Pretty much this. Not everyone is going to approve of who you are or what you're doing with your life. You would be wasting your time if you try to live up to the expectations of other people because there will always be someone who doesn't approve.
We should get together sometime! I skipped out on con season due to personal circumstances I don't want to share publicly. I am going to PAX however, but I'm going to be working pretty much straight until I leave for Seattle.
We'll get together eventually, I guess? I'll call you sometime.

I think my life has become less about living upto the expectations of others and more about me expecting less of myself. Expecting less perfection in my relationships. Just taking things in stride and overall expecting less.
Coffee coffee to celebrate dread the new semester?

I agree! I won't have any money left over after PAX though :/ Maybe sometime in October or something after I've recovered financially so I can make that trip to Calgary?

I think that's the best philosophy to have in life. And what I love about this picture is that it is very you because you as an artist have such a unique recognizable drawing style. I guess it's weird for me to say since I don't actually know you, but from being a fan of your artwork I think you could be one of the few people who can honestly say you're trying to be yourself. Even most people who say that are lying, even to themselves. I know I tend to be competitive so I try to be sort of like other people in order to compare with them.
anyways, keep being you and I like the sketch. It's a great self-portrait.

Apparently I can totally pull off the face shown here too 
I think, over time, I've lost sight of who *I* am. Like, Whether I really know Me or not. I'm very sponge-like. So I think I may have lost sight of what makes me, Me. Regardless, rather than think and brew over it too much, I'm just going to loosen up and let myself have fun where I find it.
Thanks for the comment and feedback
