Back when my friend was in high school they had an assignment to write about a day in the life for a given career and she got miner. She ended up writing about how he was thinking of his daughter while he went into the mine, it caved in and in typical high school fashion ended it with something like and he's still thinking about his daughter. She was supposed to write about what miners actually do like in their job and instead she wrote a depressing story about dying.

She probably wouldn't draw happy people either. You do you, you don't have to justify that shit to anybody. It's your art.
