I, myself, want and NEED to unleash my deeply hidden creative Goddess self. I do NOT wake up every morning thinking "Man!!! I can't wait to work with screaming kids all day!" ( I'm a nurse). Do what makes you happy, and whoever is still by your side at the end of the day is the one (s) that matter. The problem with society today is everyone is so caught up in the mundane rat race...how much money they generate, the house, cars, designer tags, etc. How boring is that cookie cutter life I ask?!? So boring I'd rather have a root canal. So keep on keepin on and live your dream.

And I can say that I do NOT wake up every morning thinking "Oh I can't wait to work with screaming children all day", ( I'm a nurse). I always felt the need and want to unleash my creative side and do things that make me happy. So I applaud you for pushing through the stigma of starving artist bullshit and doing what fulfills you. There's a saying that holds true..."You never work a day in your life if you do what you love". So keep on keepin on lady!

Honestly? I wish folks would offer their two-cents-worth more often. And secondly, no need to be "sad for my children"...they are all four - enormously happy, I am unfalteringly devoted to them, and anyone who knows us would corroborate that...<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, as well as for sharing your opinion.Big Uglyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112845895898966695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430041266224471140.post-63592884434169105942010-07-29T11:24:26.808-07:002010-07-29T11:24:26.808-07:00Your friend did exactly "what a good friend S...Your friend did exactly "what a good friend SHOULD do": she was honest with you. There is no denying that you are talented in your writing, but the overall tone is so contemptuous that it is extremely distasteful to read. The truth us, your writing is mean-spirited and--worse than that--dishonest. It reeks of the desperation of an aging women clinging to the hope that sexual promiscuity equals desirability (clue for you: it does not). Deep down you know this, hence the lashing out at anyone who raises your awareness to this fact. So, kudos to your friend for trying to get you to see what you are far too deluded to see.<br /><br />I expect that this comment will be deleted, since there are no negative comments on this blog--which, based on your writing, could in no way happen by chance. But I felt compelled to post it anyway. And I am sad for your children, by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430041266224471140.post-43264426137750185452010-07-23T17:47:08.653-07:002010-07-23T17:47:08.653-07:00Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Not that you care what I think, but the writing will eventually have some sort of payday. The question is can you hold out that long? The whole college-degree harangue doesn't hold water, especially considering the current economy, unless somebody else is paying for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
