I started back partly as a result of my crisis when my ex left for the first time. As I started working on me...it become the obvious way to go. My other career never brought the stability I was seeking and was definitely stuck.
Interesting....tell us more
Very cool! Glad I'm not alone here. My current career has stability, but not much more than that, although I do enjoy it...I need more. This new urge is bubbling up as if I literally was bottling it inside. I even have an idea of a theme for this project...based on passion and inner beauty and the human form. This will really test my follow through which hasn't been a strong point of my life- I have grand ideas and lack the ability to see a project through to completion. But if I reverse engineer it back from my end goal this could be very fulfilling for me. I see it as a mixed media - photography/painting gallery. It's like imagining a grand party or wedding and then filling in how to get there. I think I just need to start.
Many nights I lay in bed and aimlessly peruse the internet or watch true crime when I had whole heartedly planned on using my insomnia for art progress...I need to discipline myself a bit more. This is great. I am glad I posted this.
What about your projects Sylvie? I can see how the crisis of your situation could spark this in you!
