The tough thing is I keep feeling I partly went into grad school to like...please my parents. They didn't force me to go but were definitely applying pressure. I'm having a hard time shaking the feeling that I've compromised myself somehow, that it would've been better to just pursue art. The thing is I discovered my affinity for art relatively recently, so I never thought of it as a viable career path on its own...much less how to market myself or expose myself as an artist. So grad school seemed practical...

I don't know. I don't know anymore.
