So here I sit 10 years later with an engineering degree gathering dust on the shelf finally loving the life that I've found through artistic pursuits. I too wonder what might have happened if I had chosen this path earlier- but honestly I'm not sure if I'd appreciate what I have now had I not gone through the long meandering path of self realization.

That could have been me! I worked 10 years as an engineer, taking photos only as a hobby before I decided it wasn't for me and I had to follow my dreams - and my mother has also just told me I was always artistic, yet she encouraged me to excel in the more scientific subjects. Keep up the amazing inspirational work! Wow! That could have been me!

I think because I've always felt the need to be who I am, I've been better at encouraging my kids. When they say they have no idea what they will be, I am OK with that. I don't tell them they should hurry and pick something; I like to encourage them to try on different ideas, remember what they love, and listen to their hearts. For too long, I did not.

It seems I've spent a long time fighting to be who I am; perhaps it is the nature of being an oldest child to war against my own high expectations of me. I love the colors in this photo. Wild, untamed, disorganized, somehow free. Thank you for sharing. I can relate to this post.
