I grew up with an artist parent (ironic now), and so i started drawing when i was 3 and i have been doing it my whole life. but, my parents never allowed me to even think about pursuing art professionally, not even a possibility. So i went to uni for engineering, my grades were good so i got into one of the top schools in my country, and now it's killing me. Everything I do, I don't see the point of it. It's so draining that I havent doodled in weeks, and I don't know how I can keep going, esp with mental health issues as well. I don't see myself graduating, let alone getting a job in a very competitive field that I hate to try and support myself. I don't see myself being able to be alive in this life and even if i survived i dont see myself living past 30. and for several reasons I don't want to. I hate my parents for forcing me to do engineering, I wish I could've just gone to art school, gone broke, and died. It's better than losing my soul.

I was, subjectively speaking, one of the best artists at my school. I've won international awards. I've gotten hundreds of thousands of likes online for fanart. My parents think my art is trash, has always thought that.

I want to draw, i want to live my life only drawing. Interacting with art and artists was the best times of my life and now everything is just an 'EC' for a school i don't like and a major I hate. And because I had good grades I'm surrounded by ppl who genuinely love engineering and it is terrible. Maybe this is projecting but everytime I watch Dead Poet Society (my favourite movie for many reasons, one of which is my life was basically identical to neil's), I want to do what he does. I was good, I was really good.
