The summer is over. >_<

Recently, I felt myself torn apart by the scientist and artist side within myself. How I wish I could just spend 24/7 drawing manga, spewing out stories with (hopefully) good stories and improving my drawing skills. But instead I'm stuck in my lab, working on my thesis and experiments. Once again, I ask God, "Why? How did I end up in the science field? What are Your plans for me? I feel as if You're trying to torture me." I can't express my frustration and impatience when I cannot finish my manga stuff on time. I keep getting many interruptions and it drives me crazy. It doesn't help when I have friends who don't understand my passion for drawing manga. Did you know that right up to this day, I never found a single friend offline, who enjoyed drawing manga? Simply unbelievable. But it seems like God has something up His sleeve so I'm trying my best to refrain from whining and to enjoy His grace of allowing me to even draw in the first place. Thanks, God! I love drawing, thank you for this hand and mind of mine. Please help keep both of them pure. ^_^

Another thing I would like to share/rant is how ppl brag about their stories' originality. "This is my idea, I think it's cool and original, I don't want to share it with anyone yet, lest someone steals it. Hey, don't copy me, thief!" Honestly, I find that somewhat arrogant, forgive me if I misunderstood anyone. Doesn't anyone remember who gave them life in the first place? All creative juices and ideas come from the Creator Himself. I have met very few artists/writers who say, "Thank God for these ideas and for giving me the ability to draw/write." It's not about us, it's about Him. Just a friendly reminder.
