We've had a similar thread to this before, but I'm curious. What's your dream? Childhood, now that you've grown, manic or not. Doesn't matter, big or small.

My dream is to be a famous comic book artist and to get my stories out there.

Right now I dream of being stable lol but I really want a nice house, rewarding career and kids.

[Confusedinomicon]

Experience life with people I love.

[Resident Bipolar]

I don't dream anymore. I had dreams and I've given up on them over time. Sounds very pessimistic, I know. But I just can't. It sounds stupid when I say it, I don't like saying it. I know what could have been, what should have been, but I also know what its like to fail over and over again due to the complications causes by a disorder out of my control.

I dunno. Maybe in a couple of years time, I'll chase my dream again. For now though, I'm too tired to.

Dreams, what are dreams.. neither have one in life or even one in sleep,, would love to be able to think that far ahead. one pill at a time, one day at a time..is my life

[lil_better_everyday]

Uh, to learn magic and shoot fireballs from my fingertips. Perhaps whilst riding a unicorn.

But if I never get around to the above, my dream is to be happy. That's it. I want to surround myself with people make me happy, and hopefully me them back. And do enough stuff I enjoy to balance out the stuff I don't enjoy.

That's all I want. I don't exactly know what I need to do to get there, but I have faith that I will.

My dream is that I live to see a generation of kids growing up in a safe & loving environment, with access to healthcare and education.

I dream that one day, I will change myself, and the world and no longer feel so powerless.

Up until 2 years ago I wanted to be an animator first for pixar (at the time they were the best in the field, then they got bought by Disney ), by the time I became an adult game animation had really improved. I had to edit my dream because that's just a field that is not conducive to having regular sleep patterns. So I would like to one day be a college adviser but that also requires a masters degree so I doubt that will happen. I wish I knew everything I do now about the in's and out's of college administration when I started. I think good college advisers are needed.

I hope to qualify my cat & dog as Therapy Animals. It would be great, I think, to take them to Vet hospitals, Special Education schools, and Assisted Living/Hospice.

Two current dreams -

1) to travel the world and make money through travel photography.

2) to have the courage to publish my book (memoir) with the aim of increasing understanding of depression/bipolar/suicide and have that make a difference to someone's life. The book is nearly finished, the idea of going quite so public is scary as hell.

[unlived]

I want to be a foster carer - but the way this bipolar crap is going I cant see it happening

I'm really in to comic book art too! Do you have a DA or online art portfolio?

My dream got crushed by some horrible, sexist and discriminatory people... but I think it's for the best, as now I won't have to spend the rest of my life working in that environment. Now, I'm learning to dream big again, and explore things which I'd ruled out as impossible. I want to either go in to acting or classical composition.

People keep telling me "you aren't suited for this because of your health", and it's horrible and untrue, and I'm coming to realise that no matter what I do with my life people will always say these things. I just need to persevere, carry on. I've already done so much with my life that people said I could never do, and I don't intend to stop.

I have 3 pieces here on my account.

I've wanted to write and publish a memoir as well! And a year ago I was having just as much trouble with a fictional comic book (the one I'm redoing) because I thought it wasn't good enough. Ah well.

I hope you do work up the gumption to publish it. It would be great if you were able to help someone like that!

Some powerful stuff there, find digital painting hard myself, but slowly getting to grips with it. Also considering a career in the comics industry but it all seems so competitive, especially in the big publishing houses. Thinking of doing some indie stuff though. Is your interest mainly in pencilling or inking?

Adam Hughes is my favourite artist (his Fairest cover!!), but Jim Lee's pencils are still beyond compare imo.

All of the above. Writing, penciling, inking, (hand) lettering, coloring... But inking and coloring have to be my favorites. Boy do I love me a well-inked page. There's something so beautiful about the crisp contrast between the ink and the paper.

I can relate! Personally I find inking impossible, I have a bit of a tremor so at least with digital painting/pencils I can erase haha

I'll keep an eye out for any new art you post Maybe I'll pluck up the confidence to show some of mine eventually

[sprik]

My horrible ex to leave me alone, to find a way to let go of the hurt and pain he has caused the last 3 years, to find away to put my life back together and find something I enjoy doing and makes me happy while the kids r at his house every other week.
