Three Little Words

[irishrosedkm]

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

"How could I waste such brains on art?" It's so unfortunate that people think that art is a waste of brain. Some of the smartest people I know are artists.

I know, I wish art was valued more. I also hate seeing how budget cuts lead to cutting art programs and music programs. Creativity is needed in all fields of study, and should be fostered and valued just as much as hard science.

This sounds very familiar to me. My mom pushed me into a business degree so I could support myself, though I wanted to major in fine arts. It was a wise decision, but I sometimes wish I could've done both.

[irishrosedkm]

Yea, I wish I could have too. The hard science just takes up so much brain space, that I always made art a second priority.

That was very well written, Erin. You've still got that talent for writing that you think you might have lost in the die of the round hole.

You know you can support yourself during the day and do what makes you happen in your off time right?

[irishrosedkm]

If I had off time, that would definitely be an option :) Thanks C.

I've always been a big believer in the 'work for a while, save everything, then quit and do what you want for a while. repeat.' strategy.

Today my strategy has been "do nothing, sleep more, watch tv, go to dr appointment, get pho, do some work" hahahaha! I wish every day was like this.

Follow your dreams, yes, but all you have to do is take the next step.

You have a wonderfully authentic voice in your writing. I really like this piece.

[irishrosedkm]

Thank you:)
