I continually hope that someday I'll get a chance to pass on everything I've learned. There hardly seems a moment considering living by my words only means having absolutely no time to say them. So at least I can take a moment in slight to utter in passing.
Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible.
I lived by that when it sparked in me the possiblity of achieving something despite everyone telling me it being impossible otherwise. People have always told me it's impossible, that it's been tried. If you know what I'm talking about then your already on your way. What I will say to you ignore those who've been defeated by what they call "experience." Keep going and don't let anyoen tell you otherwise.
I know this might sound familiar even, never give up etc. But it's how I live my life even currently as there still are more "experienced" people who will criticize that I'm doing it wrong. It's the human spirit that'll keep us alive. This rings true to the events of my life, when I started Haloid. I didn't do it because I wanted to get a job in games, or that I wanted to become famous, or what have you. I did it because I knew it could be done, and that the road to finishing it was imperfect and difficult. What finishing it yeilded me was only more steps on the path to pushing forward in what I believed in.
My life lacks much, I'm broke, my car is in horrible shape, my apartment is a mess, I spend 3 days in a row at the office regularly and sleep on the couch only when I need to. I'm helplessly antisocial. I see my girlfriend 3 times a year.
I come from an impoverished family of cambodian civil war refugees. It been a long journey between being so incredibly poor that I didn't have paper to draw on when I was little, to where I am now. It wouldn't have happened if I didn't dive headfirst and take a risk, and continually risk it all to keep going forward... Heh, success? They thought it was impossible
What is the greatest reward for living in such difficulty?..
I hope you see it someday too, Cause the world looks very different, when you're pushing yourself every second you've got.

I salute you
You're absolutely right. I think you are doing a good job, a VERY good job. Fighting for what you believe in. You´re a good rool model.
It's not fair that some have more opportunities than others or luck but be sure that everything comes with dedication and effort and you are on the good track.
We enjoy with your creations (That they´re becoming more and more) and I wish that this doesn´t change.
PS: Sorry my bad English. I hope that you understand the most of my comment.
Take care!
All I know is that music is my one true expression. That's all that really keeps me going unfortunately. :/
I play my music because it makes me happy, it just feels, right, you know? And whenever I produce something better then the last, be it a composition or a song, it gives me an inkling that I may be better then I thought I was; but that's about it. I have no endgame, no comparison, or any idea where I want to go with my work; or that even if I do, will it be profitable enough to keep me from the gutter..?
Depressing nuances aside, your words have helped me, probably not as much as I would like, but your determination is far more then admirable. And the fact you can be so humble despite your accomplishments is a testament to your character as a person and as an artist. I hope that one day I can come to feel the same way as you about your path and how you've built it while I try to build my own.
Good luck to you my friend and whatever your future may hold.
Your work keeps me going towards my dream of a Game Designer ^^ I hope that my determination will get me there like it has you with your goals.
