Why is it terrifying?
Let's say you make 300 embarrassments, mistakes, fuckups
And lets say that you make 50 great achievements, like getting into a gallery, or helping out society, or even getting 20 likes on facebook.

When you die, those 300 problems?
They vanish. You don't have to deal with them anymore.
Those achievements? Those 50 don't seem to measly anymore. That is your legacy. That is how you will be remembered.

You won't be remembered for the thousands upon thousands of terrible drawings you've done. You'll be remembered for your hard work, your dedication, and most importantly: your creations.

Don't be afraid to die, yet don't go out and do every stupid thing that could get you killed.
Just remember that there will be one point in your life where you'll just go -zip- black; dead.
You have no idea when this point will be, so you might as well just accept that.

Live without regrets, accept your mortality, and start living the life you deserve, not the life that you wish you could have.

If I landed a job at a big-name company that will be enough financially to keep me stable, should I stay in art school?

Does art school really matter if I can just study really hard and create a kickass portfolio in much less time and money? Sure, art school is great for connections, but I feel that if I got off my ass and actually met with some people, I can achieve the same thing that an art school promises me in four years. Is a degree really that worth it?

I'm talking hypothetical, of course.
