Big congrats to all of us on this sometimes rocky but amazingly beautiful road! Especially to you 30 for picking yourself back up and staying positive.
I am around day 45?? Just finished hanging a solo exhibition, and (literally two minutes ago) sent my resume and portfolio off to my DREAM job. Fingers crossed!
I spent some time several years ago working in a collaborative arts studio for adults with disabilities- most amazing, rewarding and fun job ever. It was impossible not to smile, laugh, sing... day in and day out! A position very similar just opened, but with much better benefits etc.!
I would never have even considered this if I were still killing my brain and my psyche on a daily basis... truly feeling the excitement and confidence of the new me! Regardless of whether I get it or not, it just feels so flippin great to be hopeful, and to embrace the possibilities!
Thank you all for your ongoing support, I couldn't do it without this place and all of you.
