I am not afraid of failure. I don't like it, but I have failed, and I went into whatever situation I was in without fear.
At this point in my life, I don't feel like anyone is going to stop me except maybe myself. Again, not because I'm afraid, but because I am too responsible.
I'd love to go out on a limb and find a career in something creative, but the realistic part of me knows that isn't going to pay the bills or help to support my family. It might be different when Thomas is finished with school, but for now, I am where I am.
I love to be inspired by things that other people make, and I love it even more if I inspire someone else.
Who knows, maybe I'll go back to school one day. Or maybe not. I am always eager to learn, but the traditional "sit in the classroom, listen to lectures, & take tests" side of education doesn't appeal much to me. I prefer hands-on learning for the thrill of discovering something new.
I also wonder if I made my "hobby" my "job", would I still love it? Would I want to create if I "had" to? I know, it sounds silly, but I have thought about it. Can anyone relate?
Still trying to figure out where my place is in the world. Maybe I'll figure it out one day; maybe not. I'll just have fun trying to feel my way through.
Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?...

I'm so behind on this meme, but I will get back to it! I love what you wrote...we'll have similar answers! But, in your closing comments I wanted to say I was told once that we never feel complete, we never feel "placed" in this world because we are meant for the next world. God completes us when we join Him. I really liked that sentiment, and it seemed to ring well with what you have above. We're not made for earth, but to be joined with God, so we're never really happy for fulfilled till we are called home. So true. I know though, you'll have fun feeling your way through!! You are so creative!
