Monty Oum's death hit me hard. For those who don't know, he got internet famous for 3-D animated shorts with amazing fight choreography with little help from anyone else. By far his most impressive project is the web series RWBY, which consistently blows me away with its incredible fights.
I'm telling you this so that you know why this advice meant so much to me. The advice in question was this post from Arin Hanson-rapper, let's player, and former animator:
"If you’re an artist and you’re struggling with the thought that you’re not good enough to pull off what you want, don’t wait. Just do it. Do it now. Make time for it. Nobody cares that you got 8 hours of sleep instead of 6 when you’re gone. Nobody cares that you kept up to date on your Facebook feed every day when you’re gone. What transcends you is your work and the impression you left behind."
I know it wasn't diercted to me specifically, but still had a huge impact. My search for direction started with this quote, Since then, I've though a lot about what I want to do with my life. These words drive me to do more with myself. I won't live forever, and I want this life to count for something. Then maybe, I can be a fraction as incredible as Monty Oum.
