Thank you SpectreX :D!
Hahaha, well um, I told my uni friends first and they understood straight away (considering I was drawing in every lecture/tute I was in), and some had wondered why I hadn't left earlier to pursue art, which me me smile.
Then, I told my mother on that same beautiful, sunny afternoon and wow was she piiiiiiissed.
It took about 2 weeks for her to calm the fack down, before I finally managed to talk her into it (more like show her through hard work) and receive her support. Through which I was able to leave uni.
After this I told my closest friends. They understood and were supportive, although they still don't understand why I have to work so hard. And why I can't hang out 95% of the time.
And then yesterday... I finally had to guts to tell my father (he doesn't live with us, so I only see him every now and then. I say "guts" because he's always been strict when it came to school, high school and getting into uni etc. I could've easily just called - but I realised: if I was going to stand up for what I believe in and my passion in life - I had to tell him in person. So anyway, I told him - he looked at me, face stern and simply exclaimed: "why?"
I let it all out.
Got all emotional 'n shit :3
After I finished, he remained staring at me as I remained staring at him, before he inhaled deeply and said:
"okay".
He explained that he would rather have me work in a field that I love, than be forced to become something I'm not.
He also told me that he believed I could it. That he felt my passion. And saw my determination.
Man, hearing that from my Dad meant the world to me. I feel I can punch a hole through the moon now haha.
Cheers!
