I was feeling pretty good about being at the art studio right now. Im teaching art camp and loving it. Ive been teaching my teen class and loving it. I really felt so good about what I do there! It makes me happy! I was thinking about how wonderful it is for me to inspire people and bring out confidence to kids. I was thinking about the wow factor of how this enriches my life and how I enrich the life of others. I was thinking this is a part of my life and I love it.
today a friend voiced their concern about my future. it made me sad, they said that they are concerned that i was going to get comfortable in my role right now career wise and that i may not progress as a human being. i do appreciate the honesty but it really hurts to know that someone that you hold so dear sees you not living to your potential and questions the steps in the actions that i've been taking. yes im not exactly where i expected my life to be but i am taking steps to get there. It's really hard when you doubt yourself and where your journey may bring you and if you'll ever get to achieve the goals you set out for yourself, but its even harder when your support systems starts to question your will and drive.
I really have been trying and although Ive gone on a few interviews and havent gotten them, yet still I have hope,and have been trying. Everything that I have done in my life has been working torwards this goal. Everything! like since the age of ten. It's one thing to have to prove it to yourself but having to prove it to your closest of people deeply saddens me. I dont want people to walk on eggshells for me but I do expect to be recognized for all my efforts. not just my potential. This is the journey that I am on.
This is my path and mine alone.
