I want nothing more for than young poor people to stop comparing themselves to people who are growing up with money, resources, and connections.
Start whatever your dream is now in the ways that you can and be kind to your own pace. Slowly is still moving.
Not trying to sound like a downer, but if you're working on your own comic or any indie project, operate under the belief that no one is coming to help or save you. Be prepared to make your dreams happen on your own because corpos LOVE exploiting the clueless and capable.
