When you're a little kid, you're a little bit of everything. Artist, scientist, athlete, scholar... Sometimes it seems like growing up is the process of giving those things up. One by one. I guess we all have one thing we regret giving up. One thing we really miss. That we gave up because we were too lazy or, we couldn't stick it out or, because we were afraid.
-The Wonder Years
This quote has got me thinking. When I was younger, I was good at everything...seriously. Now, I feel like I'm just, here...slowly wasting away. I used to be a really great artist. But after high school I don't think I picked up another paintbrush. Do talents like that fade? One time I tried to explain to a colleague why I didn't pursue a career in something more creative. Basically, it was because I was scared. Scared of failing in something I cared a lot about. So I chose something I knew I could do. That's terrible right?
I think I'm going through a quarter life crisis.
