*sigh* Having another moment of late-night indecision, although this time about my chosen field of study rather than where I'm going. And I know it's stupid to get worked up about - I can name several people off-hand who have jobs they love in careers totally unrelated to their undergrad degree. I guess it's just...I'm afraid of not being good enough at science to make it. I already had to be honest with myself and admit that while I love costume/fashion design, and graphic design, I am and probably will never be anywhere near good enough to make it my life. And that hurt, and I'm afraid everything I try to do will turn out that way.
Ugh. Am going to try getting to sleep some more, because I know I'll feel better afterwards.

There are several times I've thought about how hard it's going to be being an artist, and that there are so many people who are much better than me (as of five years ago), and that I just might never be good enough ever. And it stopped me from doing what I really, really wanted for several years now.
Do it because you love science, cookie. There's no way you'll fail if you love something that much --- you might not make a ton of money, or you might not get to do exactly what you'd envision as perfect, but you'll succeed, in one way or the other.
Because you're full of awesome. xD ♥
