Description:
So many issues with life like: homework, embarrassing moments, grades, stressing about high school, the economy, stupid people in a role of big responsibilities thinking they can do whatever they want because they got away with it one time, etc, wouldn’t you agree? And naturally, after all of that I’m drained, I never wanted to know about any of that. It never had to make my life more stressful than being a student. But it did, so I have to find something to distract myself from reality and taxes. So I’ll stay up past my bedtime after homework, turn on the lamp and I’ll draw, I'll draw a silly character having a fun time, I’ll draw a sun in the corner, I’ll draw so I’ll feel joy, joy like the silly character. Like issues don’t exist and only my drawings, only my joy.
