this is a different video today! a couple years ago i decided to quit my life-long dream of working in the animation industry... and it was the best decision i ever made.

Dreams are important! They can be a concrete goal to strive upon, full of all your passions and greatest desire. HOWEVER I definitely feel like society does place too much emphasis on the concept of dreams and it can be toxic. This video isn't meant to deter anyone away from trying to work towards their dreams, instead, this is for anyone who feels like they are at a crossroads. That maybe they feel like it's time to stop pursuing that dream, but they don't know how, or feel like they're 'giving up'.

I will be talking about the following:

00:00 - Intro
04:01 - Where it Started (Highschool, Art School and my Dream)
13:34 - Applying For Work + Endless Rejections
21:49 - Controlling my Jealousy
27:56 - Are Dreams Toxic?
30:30 - At a Crossroads/Making the Switch
37:28 - Where I'm at Now!
41:02 - What to Do If You're at a Crossroads too!
