I'm not sure where to put this. But I am coming to terms with who I am as a person. I always wanted to be the kind of person who is altruistic and helps other people. Like, as a career. However. I'm coming to realize we all show up in this world differently, and experience life differently, and none of this is wrong or incorrect. I don't think I'm the kind of person who is good at social work or working with other people to help them. It overwhelms me. Sometimes it bores me. I'm uninterested. Stressed. Despite this, I know I am kind, caring, and a good person.

I was talking to my therapist about careers. I've been on the fence about many things for years. She said, to trust my gut. She gave me the example of herself, and how she came to be a counselor. She just knew, ultimately. My gut keeps pointing me to a vocational program in office technology. It sounds "boring," but this is something I want to do. . Plus, Its a need in my area, and pays well. It feels practical. I'm an artist, but I gotta pay the bills.
