we are all only what we are because we say we are that.... look inside yourself to find out what you are and believe it. i know in my heart i am a good person, therefore i AM a good person. you know in your heart you are an artist, therefore you ARE an artist dear. take a look at van gough. he didn't sell anything until he was dead, but he's one of the most famous artists ever. just because people weren't knocking his door down, didn't stop him from expressing his emotions through his art.
so you took a break from school. it happens. i too took a break. but, it's never too late to resume learning and experiencing the things you want and need to learn from life. if you want and need to go back to art school, don't let a small break stop you from getting what you need from life. go back and get your education dear. many people do it. my sister is doing that right now. she too took a break. but, she realized that she needs more education, so she decided to go back to school and she loves it. she doesn't feel out of place at all.
once you get your foot back in the door, you'll soon realize you are that person you respect and love. and soon, your whole body will be through that door. you'll see!!!!
about having connections: i learned in school that having connections is the best way to get ahead in anything. i got my last job on a film by knowing someone who produced it. that's the only reason i got the job, because she knew me and knew that i knew what i was doing. it NEVER hurts to have connections dear. NEVER!!!!! they only help you get your foot through that door. it's not that you couldn't get your foot through in the first place, it's just a gentle push in the right direction dear.
no one knocks on your door to make you a star dear. i really wish they did. i've been waiting for the knock as well. you have to knock on their door unfortunately. but, i have no doubt in my head that once you start knocking on doors, they'll come running dear.
go back to school.. don't be scared.. go knock on doors.. once you start knocking, they'll return those knocks, i promise you.. i can see your talent through your posts.. but, they can't see it until you show it dear.. show them and they'll answer..
((((((jyl)))))) i hope you have as much faith in yourself as we do. i know you are a star. i hope you know you are too dear. take care of yourself, i would if i was there...
