I have come to the conclusion that the only way to find happiness in my life is to do what I love and pursue my dreams no matter what the end result may be. If I stop trying to do what makes me me and start doing what everyone else is telling me to do, than I will never be truly happy. So it may take me longer to pay the bills with the artsy career that I want to go into, but who cares. As long as I am getting by with the money that I make and am able to provide for myself than hell with all those other lame cubical jobs. I will have the privilege of saying that yes, I love my job, and yes, I want to keep doing it for the rest of my life!
"Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it."
Tessa - YES!!! Do what you love and the money will follow. If it's Greek Mythology so be it. If it's baking or interior design even better. You get one life - live it everyday as only you can make it happen. The only way to do that is be true to yourself. Take it from someone who fell victim to the ideals of others - the years, the decades will disappear before you realize what has been lost. The Moody Blues told us: "face piles of trails with smiles, it riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave, keep on thinking free." Be free my friend.
