That's true... So true.. Som etimes people around us don't respect our hobby... My parent's told me that my hobby of cosplaying was a waste of money and 2 year @ Japan gives good influence on me.. But it's not, still, they keep saying those kinda things.. So I made a shir with words "I don't care what you say, I'm gonna wear it any way.." then start entering some competition aim for the 1st place in each and every one of them, there is amoney prize if you get 1st-3rd place in some competitions... Then use the money (with some help of my senpais) to open a clothing shop that sells clothes taht was based on anime costumes from jacket, tux, T-shirts... now.. I can buy things with my own money...
Any kinds of hobby that you have, any thing.. If you're good at it just do your best, show em that even your weird hobbies can change the world...
