goals.

I haven't really set specific goals for myself when it comes to my life and my future- maybe that's a bad thing, but setting long term goals hasn't really been something that I consider that important. Although I haven't really written anything down or consider myself to have thought about what I want to have happen in my life, there are definitely things that would be nice to accomplish.
I guess I really just want to be doing something I love- which is why I chose to go to art school instead of pursuing a nursing degree like every other woman in my family. I don't have dreams of being filthy rich and being able to buy ridiculous "luxuries" or drive 10 cars, I just want to live comfortably and if that means just getting by with a little extra spending money- that's fine with me, as long as I'm doing something creative and artistic. I think that these aspirations come from seeing a lot of my relatives who are miserable with their jobs- who, when they found out I was going to art school, decided to say anything and everything they could to try to change my mind. I suppose I want to prove to them and myself that the amount of money someone has doesn't have to affect their happiness.
