Hi lonelygirl,
I appreciate the fact that you changed your career. I think it was a good decision on your part because one should do what one loves to do. There is a lot of scope today for a career like that. You can be a successful designer and make your parents proud.
I just came around an article while surfing the web, thought it might be good for you.

Although i'm not much into art, but i respect artists. If given a choice, i would have been a designer instead of a lawyer (i'm into computer science by the way). I don't mean any offence to lawyers, law is a respectful field. It's about interest, there is no use being a bad lawyer when you can be a good designer.
The only way you'll be able to re-link your parents' trust in you is by being a good and successful graphic designer. Try to make something good everyday, any work of art. Doing this will motivate you and it will boost your creativity. You'll be tempted to do more and that will end your procrastination.
Thanks for posting. :-)
