I’ve been putting off writing an entry for this and actually ‘closing’it, but I realize I have to. At least for now. Professionally, there are 2 things I wanna do in my life: set up a bakery and be an architect. Now, I can’t do both at the same time! It’s just not possible. Architecture is a very demanding field to study. It would take a long time, cost a lot of money, and unfortunately where I live, possibly not even bring me much income. And setting up a bakery will also take an enormous amount of work, effort, dedication… I have to choose. And I chose the latter because a)it’s easier to receive training for (I live on a tiny island and there’s not much in terms of architecture studies going on, but there are a few gourmet bakeries…), b) it’s easier to get approval for by my husband (which makes it more likely that I’ll actually be able to DO it), c) it seems that it might bring me more of an income, which I desperately want. I want to be able to stand on my own two feet financially.
I’m really sad about letting this go. I love architecture, and always will, and I’ll always get melancholic thinking about it. But maybe my business will go really well and will be satisfying enough for me to get over the architecture studies:) I hope.
