@GailSimone's Tumblr post from yesterday has completely changed my perspective on my work. I have determination and more importantly; hope. I've stopped feeling sorry for myself about not being able to afford college and rolled up my sleeves to get to work. The crap holding me back doesn't matter anymore. What I produce matters.

That blog was exactly the kick in the teeth I needed. In short? Thanks Gail, I owe you one.
