Follow your dreams we are told. But how do you follow your dreams when you don't know what your dreams are

And this is why I will urge my step daughter to use her brain as much as possible to keep those grades high in math and science ... but I also push her to be creative and stretch those muscles too.

Yes! Art is just as important! I always think of myself has having a lopsided brain, too much excersize on the science side.

sounds like to me that girl in the cell has found her voice this is one of the most creative and well written pieces i have read.

i was lucky enough to follow my dreams and it is hard work and you annoy a lot of people on the way but thats ok coz the people you annoy are the people who are scared of taking that step and don't believe you should because they are jealous you soon get surrounded by supportive people who nurture your creativity and you look back and say thank god i was brave. no one ever lay on their death bed and said i wish i had done less.

brilliant work you really inspired me.

[irishrosedkm]

Thank you! I really appreciate you saying that.

They always say do what you love, the money will follow. But that's not necessarily true. I followed my love and became an artist--it's hard to sell work when it's true to yourself. I could paint crappy landscapes or flower pictures and could probably make good money at it. But I'd be just as much of a whore as if I worked at a job I hated just for the money. Following your dreams doesn't always bring success. Just IMHO

[irishrosedkm]

Yea, you can do what you want and struggle financially. Or do well financially and struggle spiritually. I'd love to find something that fills both needs.
