Description

"When I was a child, I played outside with friends, bruised my knees, made up adventurous fantasies and played hide and seek. I ate what my mom made and McD was a treat. I would think twice before I said "no" to my parents. Life wasn't hard, it was great and I survived.

But as time went on, everything changed. My parents took me to courses and the best school in town, expecting me to get straight A's. My 'friends' introduce me to the joy of adulthood--smoking, drinking, drunk-racing on the street, chasing after girls.

Then one day I realized, I am neither the perfect son, nor the cool kid. I am the little child who wants a simple happiness of freedom. But the child's neck is now strangled by people's expectations, leaving him vurnerable, powerless. When the child dies, I am not sure if I can recognize myself anymore."

Just a speedpaint. I uploaded the original/not cropped picture on my FB and Tumblr. Pfffft yeah yeah so many anatomical errors but hey, I'm learning. O3O

I may print this as a personal bookmark, so I'll be tempted to go back at my book to 'help' my crying bishie~

Also, since some people asked,
yes, you're free to print this for personal use. :>
