Description
...Of being a writer.There are a lot of things that I want to do, and a lot of things that I love. I love the world, and I seek to protect it with all that I've got; that's why I'm in college right now pursuing a major in Environmental Engineering, because our planet is just too beautiful and too full of wonders for us to let it disappear, and it's nothing short of our duty as humans to protect it. It's more than just a treasure protected behind glass or a beauty for us to admire from afar--it's a part of us.
But I've always wanted to do more than just that. I want to become an engineer and help the world, but I also have passions for other things, and among them is writing. The power of words is just incredible, and I've always wanted my writing to be as important a part of my life as my future career will be. Through words, I can express my love of the world and bring with it a message to help protect what we have left. But even if I never become a novelist or obtain any kind of job that focuses on writing, I know that I will always be doing it, whether it's to write about the world we live in today or about a world all my own.
These are my dreams for my future; these are my dreams for the world. I know that I am small, but through my words and through what I can do with what I have, I hope to be able to make a difference.

That aside, this picture has taken me a solid week to draw, and I'd like to give infinite thanks to ~enzeru-no-yami for yet again always putting up with me and offering her endless advice, and for *TanukiTanuki for supporting me in everything I do.
And of course, I want to say Thank You! to all of my friends on DeviantArt, since you guys are what have seriously made it worth staying here and have encouraged me to always keep striving for what I love and pushing myself to higher levels in my work.
Thank you all for everything! ♥
I'd just like to say, THANK YOU everyone for your incredible support and encouragement!!! It all means a huge amount to me, it really does. I'm afraid that I'll never get around to thanking everyone who's favorited it, but I really do promise that I visit every one of you and that I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support~ You're all darlings, truly~
THANK YOU EVERYONE! ♥
Because people have requested it, I have made this image available as a custom-sized print at Zazzle.com! I Dream... Print
Please check it out if you expressed interest in purchasing it, and thank you all again for all of your incredible support!

You took the words out of my mouth. Yes, we live in the most wonderful world imaginable. People believe that the world is like typing on a computer where if we make a simple mistake or typo, we can fix it and edit it easily. That's not the case. Our world is so beautiful, with beautiful animals, beautiful minds, beautiful people, and wondrous ideas.
Great voice and amazing art! ^~^

Hey, I'm back!
Well, not sure if you remember, but I commented on this piece before. What you probably don't know is that, every so often, I come back to this picture and I just contemplate it. Every time I come back, I see something different and positive, and looking at this beautiful piece really cheers me up whenever I have a down day. It struck my some time ago that we're absolute strangers; we don't even know what the other person looks like, but - for that very reason - I think what this masterpiece does to and for me is simply astounding and worthy of thanks. So thank you (again >.< ), for making this wonderful piece of art.

Oh, jeez, I just have to say... this is one of the most encouraging comments I've ever received, and it seriously means a lot to me.
The fact that a piece I did and posted online could resonate so darn well to someone I've never met somewhere, anywhere in the world, and that it could do so much for you... seriously, that is the best praise that I could ever receive.
Thank you so much for enjoying it so much, and for your incredibly, immensely kind comment. It really flatters me like you don't even know, and really makes me feel worthwhile.
I'm tucking this away to re-read myself on a rainy day, hahah!
