When Matt had a Dream

WARNING: There is a lot of graphic language in the beginning because I'm drawing a specific person that I see frustrated by life.

Before becoming a writer I lived my life blaming the people around me for the circumstances in which I found myself. I was angry, an addict and severely depressed while in the military. Upon reaching my first mid life crisis I cried out and something miraculous happened that altered my life in 180 degrees. I was shown in a distinct vision of exactly what I was meant to do with my life. With this new found revelation I went out thinking I was destined for success, but only found failure. Each failure taught me something about myself and my craft. After numerous attempts at writing stories I couldn't figure out how to communicate the images that were so vivid in my mind. It plays like a movie and continues to haunt me keeping me up at night. This is one of those stories and I'm getting better at drawing these images with words. I hope you enjoy.
