Hey girl...Tyra I love you

Dear Tyra

Im so and so years old and Ive been sleeping on the floor while my mom sleeps on the couch in the same room in my grandfathers house and I havent slept in a bed in over 2 years. I made a youtube video about it called Welcome To The House Of Joe documenting how Ive been living for the past two years but the flash drivers in this letter will have the uncut versions. The reason why I'm sending you this letter is because I feel like there is no way out of this situation no matter how hard I try, it seems like Ive failed and all I want to do is make my family proud of me, even though, I feel like no one listens to what I have to say, like Im invisible or like Im a ghost. I'm sick of not being heard or looked over or like I dont matter in this life. People told me I wasnt good enough and I've been carrying that burden around with me for so many years. I still feel that way no matter if I do something right or not. Even when I type this letter, I feel like this isnt going to be seen by you or your staff. I dont want to sound negative but Im just keepin it real. What I want to do in life is to make money to support my family because my grandmother is a senior citizen and she wont retire because she has to support the ones in my family who are in need and Im one of them. My grandfather wont do anything for anyone in my family because he is to scared of his older sister and he's 72 years old. My aunt is always asking for money to pay her rent and she is falling on hard times and this has been going on for years now, ever since I was little. One of my cousins might go to prison, My cousin's brother wants to be an actor and he is really good and his little brother is 19 going on 20 and he is skinny and tall enough to do both male and female modeling but none of them wont do anything, I just dont know what their problems are. My other cousins are working too hard or not working at all. Me and my mom have been living with her parents all our lives.

My mom wants to be a lot of different things, like she knows a lot about fitness and nutrition, she especially wants to be a make up artist, I even let her practice on me before. She put foundation on my face and lip stick (orange is not my color LOL). My mom is really good, I mean she has been putting on her own make up for years but the schools around here are too expensive. I'll do anything for her but its sad when I try to help her and I cant. Im even crying as I write this because its hard to see both of us like this. Two people full of talent and going nowhere. Ive been drawing since I was 5 years old and then being so good at it, I developed how to design clothes. since 2006 I have to sketch the character then darken them in and then I detail them. The whole process of doing one picture will take 5 hours to a day to finish but the bigger pictures will take 4 days to do. Everyday I find myself sketching about 14 to 25 people a day, and Ive been doing that for 2 years just to pass the time. I have over 800 characters now, video game companies that have exsited for over 14 years dont even have that many characters. You can add all of the major and non-major fighting games like Street Fighter, King Of Fighters, Mortal Kombat and many others and they still wont add up to all the work I did. I started working on my first japanamation project in 2000, I probably had about 250 characters back then. But when I lived in the apartment with my mom over 2 years ago, I did the other 600 plus and 27 or more other anime projects since then. You can see some of the pictures I drew on youtube if you type in Brogetto and you will see them. When I went to college I wanted to be a graphic design major but all the girls I met said I should be a fashion major because thats how "disgusting" my clothes looked but I only stayed in The Illinois Art Institute of Chicago for 4 months. Im a very talented person as you can see and I made these shoes that every woman, drag queen and transgendered person would want to wear but like I said, I have no way to get these things done. In the past year Ive wrote 94 songs but I really dont have an outlet for anybody to sing them. I can write pop, rap and metal songs because I grew up listening to everything. I can write one song, then that one song can turn into 5 songs a day or more if Im on a roll. That will happen to me when I start drawing characters, I draw one and that one can turn into 5, then 15 and so on, but since I dont have an outlet to express myself, I feel like Im about to bust. My dream to make it somewhere in life isnt just for me, its for my family.
