Life experiences.

I feel the same way and have lots of bad life experiences growing up my entire life to adult this built me faster and allowed me to fend for myself more too didnt have friends my family dispised me wasnt a christain either in my town another thing to hate on at least all of the old folks did for that i have alot in my life that happened and can only say no single person on earth changed me it was actually a anime character laugh at me as much as you want but naruto is what changed me his path is more similar to mine then any anime character i ever saw things happened to him that were out of his control and those things caused people to hate him im the same way when i was growing up i saw how he didnt give up though this is where my life truly started changing when i truly became like him the only thing that was different in the end was my appearance and my intelligence compared to him other then that he is my role model but im not going to go into my full lifestory for that is way to much

Well then in that case after naruto happened i expereinced a boost in understanding in the world even more so my pain allowed me to understand most about the way emotions work and moreso brought me into multiple fields to study i wanted to learn as much as i could and i did and am still doing so its how i have so many interest now simply because i divided myself among so many areas i trained in martial arts as well along with fencing and archery i learned to hone myself and do yoga and meditation trying to find my innerself and truly feel good about who I am and accept i eventually did all of this is for one main goal in life a goal that can be laughed at but is something that is vital in my opinion a end to a cycle of hatred that is truer then ever i feel with that ended things would get better and even if i cant do it even if its impossible i will try my best

Ok cool i will be on most of the rest of today and again sorry for the grammar but usually when im on i deal with more then maiotaku sadly so have to multitask

Mmmkay so I wrote out this long-ass response, then realised it'd hit the word count barrier. Which sucks, I love telling stories... lol So, in short, I suppose the greatest moment of impact in my life was when I decided to take my art seriously. It took two years, an art teacher, and a local gallery owner trying to sell my work to convince me that I had enough talent and enough love for art to make something of it. I have the talent, the drive, and the eye. I just need the techniques. I've kinda let that slip away the last nine years because of circumstances, but it hasn't gone away. I'm still planning on attending an art academy to gain technique that I haven't been able to teach myself yet, and I fully intend to turn my art into a career. Fine art, tattoo design, manga/graphic novels, illustration... I love it all.
