I feel I could have written a post very similar to yours and though my artist self is only slowly emerging into this world it has already been an intense roller-coaster with loads of tears, I'd-rather-kill-myselfs and I'd-rather-become-a-lawyer/bookseller/cleaner/mole but also so much happiness and deep deep feelings and fulfillment. <br /><br />Plus, I recently realized I've been to see 9 different therapists/coaches/counselors in the last 7 years, which I love (the opportunity, the people) but which also made me realize how hard I work on being whole and happy.<br /><br />Thanks again for this awesome post and pic and for giving me a space to share! :)Steffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09768406366926000931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10098841.post-40085246034702026492010-10-13T23:51:40.631-07:002010-10-13T23:51:40.631-07:00i love everything about this post, mati.
