Welp. It's done. Four years of intensity and chaos.

I'm finally, officially, a recipient of a degree in Game Art and Design. I feel extremely different from the person I was four years ago, stepping into a new life, unsure of what lies ahead (although that particular feeling is quite similar).

Rather than talking about myself, I offer you amazing Deviants - who have helped me through so much and given me motivation and inspiration through your own fantastic accomplishments - a bit of advice.

This is the one life you have. Make it into what you want. It may take you years or decades or even a century to fulfill your goals, but in the end, it's worth every moment of effort. You all have the ability to make something magnificent. In your own ways, too. Keep your chin up, pay attention to yourself and your loved ones, and make this life worth living.

It's stupid, but I read a Courage Wolf meme a few weeks back that pushed me into this new beginning. "A year ago, you will know why you started today." I think it's profound. If you have an idea, DO IT. MAKE IT HAPPEN. No one will make it for you. If you have the passion and persistence and patience to see your dreams made real, guess what? You will not follow a path. You will not chase a path. You will not blindly be guided down a path.

You will cut that path out of the unknown around you and make it a beacon for the world to see.

I love you all.
