a dream come true

December 15, 2009

So many good things have happened to my life since I resigned. Oh, by the way, some of you may not know, but, yeah, last October 9, I just quit my full-time day job and decided to go freelance, particularly on taking commissions as a mixed media comic artist. Yes, it was considerably a bold move and a very risky decision to make — knowing that I’m already a married man, but I took my chances all for the sake of ambition, or shall we say… lifelong DREAM. And you know what? It was worth it.

However, at first, everything wasn’t very easy. Major adjustments had to be hurdled. And I was constantly shrouded with fears and anxieties because techinically, I am unemployed wherever you put it. Honestly, I almost reached the point of being drowned with regrets. But I held on and continued striding. I remained optimistic on all these and coupled that optimism with prayers. Eventually, I passed through all trials with perseverance and God’s grace.

Now, blessings keep on pouring. And I’m so grateful for all these. Yes, the trials are still there, but praise God, I’m doing good so far. Currently, rhardozed grip studiosyeah, my own independent one-man studio — is handling two independent comicbook projects and the other one is still on pending status. Indeed, this is a dream come true. It’s hard to believe that I have finally  reached this phase in my life where I’d be doing my true passion. And ever since I pulled myself away from regular daytime jobs, God, the Provider, has never abandoned me.

And yeah, I know, it’s still early to celebrate, and there’s more bigger waves to come. But give this newbie a chance and just tolerate the super “shallowness” for a while, alright? hehe!

That’s it for now! Havhugudey!

Been home-based myself for sometime too. You’ll never run out of resources if Someone up there is on your side. Prayer rocks! :)
