I know this has been talked about a lot, and it happens to a lot of people, me included. It's really crushing to have people saying how the future you want is useless, and you'll live on eating grass. I want to be an artist, and draw characters as living when i'm older. But whenever I talk about it to my family or parents, they always say to not do that, and just say things that are like, you'll never lead a good life, and you'll earn only pennies and such. It's really depressing sometimes, to say what you're so passionate about, and the future you want, but only to get a response of chain of sentences that weigh down on you so much. It's so heavy, that they just kind of....break you internally. And whenever I try to argue back, and say that some people can get by on commissions, as apparently once you complete one, you get lots of money. But then, the responses I get are always the same, saying how it's completely stupid i would think of such a future and i should study medicine or something that can get me to open a shop and be the owner like a pharmacist or maybe law. But the thing is, I completely have no interest in it, so how am I suppose to study something that I will eventually fail at? Wouldn't it be even worse than the results of being a stereotypical artist?
I know that my parents and sisters are just trying to do me good, and think about me having a good future, but the words they use are so painstaking, and they hurt me so damn much that i'm either on the verge of tears or crying already. To be honest, I think that most people's families are like that, but they shouldn't use such hurtful words.
Sorry for kind of ranting about it, I just really wanted to get my feelings out.
