Appreciating life is a lot easier when you've given up everything but the clothes on your back and you're on a train to nowhere. Somehow, you realize that you've never had it all before. Once you take a look at all the untouched beauty, you realize that everyday luxuries aren't comparable to experiencing life first-hand. When you have nothing to worry about, and all the time in the world, you can appreciate things more greatly than before.
Until this idea sparked in my mind, I had thought I had it all. But, as this mission grew, I started to realize how much more I could gain through giving up most of all that I own. I couldn't be happier with the decision I've made.
Of course I'll go back home. Maybe. But until then, I'll appreciate what God has given us, and have it all. Because, once I go back home, I'll be pulled to a lifestyle where I have to sleep at a certain time, work at a certain time, eat at a certain time, and see only certain things at certain times of the day. I won't be able to move freely, wherever and whenever I like. I'll have to measure what I do, for it all has a cost in that lifestyle.
So, until the day comes where I'll need to return home, I'll fall asleep to traintrack lullabies and wake up to sunrises that could change the world..

thats an awesome drawing i love what you draw
My favorite drawing of yours. But the other ones are pretty freakin' cool!
(don't like it because it's less violent, I'm not gonna be a jerk like that. I don't let content influnce my reviews)
Amazing. I love it, really captures the essence of train hitching (not that Ive ever done it)
Author's Response:
Ah, I haven't either.
But glad I captured it so well. I'd love to, to be honest. I mean, without getting caugh and put into jail or whatever. I think that'd be an amazing time. :)
The tree is tera-bad. xD But that doesn't detract from the drawing really, I love the colors you used and the description is perfect. Much love~
Author's Response:
Hahaha, thanks. :) You're, I think, the first person to comment on how terrible the tree looks. :P
And I would like to award you for that! But I don't have anything... So you can have an imaginary cookie! :3 *hands you cookie*
But thank you for the nice words though, they're greatly appreciated!! :]
This is AWESOME! very cool concept. I like that it is kind of sketchy and not completely lined.
Author's Response:
Thanks man. :)
I've been looking at all your artwork on here n I gotta say...ur incredible. I'm an artist as well but dwell in Noir aspects. black n white is beautiful. ur words n drawings really speak out to me. I write short stories n ur drawings always seem to remind me of them. I enjoy your drawings. i really hope to see more on here. Great work! keep drawing!

So this is probably my favourite submission ever. The comment you added on it just made it absolutely perfect. Seriously, terrific. I wish I could have this life.
Author's Response:
