I want to make the most of it. I am out of work. I have some money saved up, and really want to make the most of the opportunity given (before I was just depressed).
However, my interests and passions lie in art and spiritual pursuits. Not the most accepted and easy living in our society.
I really want to be me and go for it, but I am conflicted. My head is still brainwashed by my dad (non-dreamer/ultrapractical/realistic), society (materialistic) and university/career life (business).
Part of me wants to go to art school, part of me wants to travel and be a spiritual teacher, maybe show my art, part of me thinks I should just go off somewhere to a cave or monastery.
Help! How can I know what I am to do? How do I reconnect with who I am and what I really value? After an abusive relationship and abandonment, early feelings of unacceptance from my father, how can I really go after what I want?
