CH6
Apr 08, 2016
Chapter 6 was one of those chapters I really feared working on. Parental disappointment’s become something of a punchline among people in my age group, but when taken seriously it’s a real downer, as demonstrated by having Boy not talk for the majority of the chapter. Still, it was a necessary chapter to work on to give a better fleshed out story overall.
Fun fact: The “age 5” drawing Boy shows his parents was drawn with my left hand to better get that small-child vibe across. The rest are all from old sketchbooks.

Dear Diary: Being an adult sucks.
Actually, should I even refer to it as adult life if I'm still living with my parents with no signs of getting a good job any time soon? Also, do I really wanna commit to addressing this as a "diary?" Nothing against people that refer to it as that, but it seems ridiculous to even start entries that way. You don't really see people starting off their blog as "dear blog." They usually start off with something like "current mood: blissfully unaware of how crappy other people's lives are, so I rant about my own entitled life and what I define as problematic and stressful even though it probably isn't."
guuuuuuhhhhhhhhh
Current mood: everything bites. I guess I'll write more about it when I feel like it.
