I feel better!

I've been working on these illustrations for my aunt's (friend?'s) book for about two months now. And I'm starting to feel less useless in the world, because something my grandmother said hit me. "People are gonna pick up that book in 20 years and wonder who you were." That touched me because really, all I want out of life is to be remembered for SOMETHING. In addition to having a family and staying in touch with my parents and grandparents, having a successful job, I want to be known for more than what people say at my eulogy. I want to make an imprint on this world for the short time I'm here. I want to do something that matters so that I can say "I did that all by myself, every step of the way. I accomplished something."
