I don't...

...Need to hear one more time that I should give up what I feel. I don't need to hear that my plans to be in any art school at ALL are fundamentally flawed. I don't need to hear any more iterations about scholarships and portfolios and questions about what I'm going to do after I graduate. I don't need to hear about the immense workload that comes with juggling both a LaSalle part-time diploma and a NUS Literature degree at the same time. I especially do not need to know that I've never been any good at juggling, or that (out of the mouth of my CT) I've never seemed an especially motivated worker. I don't want to hear about the economy downturn in Singapore and how Singaporeans have no interest in art in the first place. I don't need to know about the distance between NUS and LaSalle and the amount of time I will wear myself out travelling. I don't need to hear that I am hopelessly idealistic, terribly naive, and worse of all, IMPRACTICAL. I don't need to know that not only are my family members not behind me, even my friends suggest that I stop banging my head against the wall and major in, oh, econs or business management or something.

I don't need to know all this, because believe it or not, I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, AND I CAN DO IT.

All what I want is for someone to believe in me.
