Finding one’s way


Artist: Gaven

I’m pretty sure most people have felt this way before: You know what you want, but you don’t know how to get it. I’m not talking about wanting a television and not knowing how to finance it. I’m talking about having a specific goal, maybe to get a job, get that special girl, or maybe to get past the death of a loved one. All of the above can prove to be difficult to achieve.

That’s what this drawing is about, an individual (in this case me; I had big hair awhile back) trying to find his way. If you look closely, he’s standing on a road that is barely visible, the road being the path he must take to achieve his goal, and the visibility indicating how much of a challenge that it will be.

As a personal note, when I drew this, I was still working my way down this road, but I did find my way to the end. Just one of the many roads that make up all of our lives.
