Where have choosing "dream" brought me to.

Back in my highschool days, whenever someone asked me what I wanted to do, I would say I want to become a comic artist or make a living with drawing. Common reply I get is "doing Art doesn't guarantee any future". These words often came from my teachers, uncles, aunts and my parents. In other words, old people. Even my dad laughed with a disappointed face when I told him I wanted to apply for animation. Instead he insisted me to become an architect if I really want to make a living with drawing. But that's not what had happened. When they said "drawing has no future", I was worried of my decision because I don't know what I was doing. I had better choices like going to matrikulasi school but I chose "dream" instead. I was a fool.

So far in the road of my life choice, I went to college for free (scholarship). Things that I did not expect such as getting an offer to further study abroad. I went to RTM for animation competition called Digista Teens (dear lord i'm on tv).

The thing is, what I have learned from my choice so far is that the road doesn't have to be straight. What people tell you most of the time doesn't decide anything, they give you pictures but they don't craft your success. Despite all that I went through good or bad, I never regret my decision as much as I would if I didn't choose what I do now. If somebody tells you what you are doing is useless, remember that it's from their perspective and knowledge not yours.
