So I always wanted to be an author as a kid. After a while I ran out of books I wanted to read and my parents wouldn't let me search the internet or anything for new books so I kinda started getting into other things. Then I met anime. And when I tell you it opened an entirely new world well I'm not kidding. I kinda thought about being an anime creator but never took it seriously. Then I really thought about it, and I realized the things I love most about writing are making characters. making a plot, world building, and millions of tiny details that the majority of aren't even important. I'm a visual learner with aphantasia so being able to watch things play out was more my strong suit. So everything I love and a lot of my personality pointed me towards becoming an anime creator (note: not drawing the anime itself but making the series). So I really think I might want to do that. For one it feels impossible, for two I have no clue what to tell my parents. My parents have never watched anime and if they looked into what I've seen in anime... I know it's my future and they don't get to dictate, I'm also very sure they would eventually support me. However, to get on the track to start creating anime I need to start sooner rather than later and I can't do that without telling my parents. I also feel the need to tell them. After all they are my parents and extremely important figures in my life and I want their approval. Although for the last 7 to 8 years everyone from my great grandparents, to grandparents, to cousins, to my aunts and uncles, to my siblings, to my parents has expected me to become and author. And after all the years I don't know what to say or do. Especially because I feel obligated to follow this path. I just don't know what to do.....
