Description
I suck at drawing comic-stick-man strips. It's hard to keep it simple. All I want to do is detailing it.
But nope, this was what I was told to do by a friend of mine, some sort of venting my own depression?
I'm not depressed often, but now and then I feel the weight of life hollowing my insides out. Like today. So I decided to draw one of my many thoughts, roughly...
I once had an interesting conversation about how all people was their own main character. And I had to admit I've never really felt like that. I'm not living for others, but it feels like I am one of those characters you meet on the side of the story. Like the random classmate or co-worker. You know they have a life, but it isn't of much concern for the story itself. They can be winners and losers, simple or complex. They're not living for others, they're just not the main character.
Have any of you ever had that thought/feeling? Living in another persons story?
Or am I just nuts?

Those are really interesting thoughts!
I think I always saw myself as the protagonist of my life until now. But since my father became sick it's like my whole world turns itself around his sickness. Everybody's asking about my father but not one single person asks about me anymore. And I'm actually a pretty self-centered person who is used to be by far the youngest of all family members and relatives, so I was always getting spoiled a lot and was the main character most of the time. It's totally unfamiliar to me not to be the most important person in the family circle. Somehow I'm making myself sound like a really bad person.
I totally understand that everyone is concerned about my father, so am I, but it's a very unusual situation for me anyway. And yeah, I somehow feel quite unimportant since then...But I still think its healthy to feel like the main character of your own life. There's no need to feel like a supporting character! You only have one life and you deserve to make it your own.
