Hi SarahSweets, you are asking excellent questions. I have no doubt that whatever you do, you will be good at it and create change. I was in sort of the same place as you for quite a while. I wasn't sure whether to go practical and boring, or take the extra time to explore things I'm actually interested in. I chose the latter. I know its not exactly your situation. Everyone's journey and circumstances are different. Someone may have to take that boring but well paying job because they need the money. I feel fortunate to be on disability. I get more time now to explore and work on myself.

I think that's so cool that multiethnic lit is your passion. I didn't know that about you. Good luck. I have faith that you will figure it out.
