I’m a full time student in art school, but every day I wish I had just gone to beauty school instead. I’m not sure how I can do this, or even if I can do this, but I’m going to try.
I contacted a couple schools in my area to set up appointments and get info, so I’m taking some steps toward it and I hope that I can do it :)

I’ve realized recently that a lot of my past relationships (ok, most all of them) have been characterized by codependent behavior patterns. They’ve all hurt quite a lot and have taken so much out of me emotionally, physically, and psychologically, and I’m now realizing that part of that pain is caused by my own behavior patterns.
I want to stop seeking out the same kind of people and situations- the ones where I always feel like I have to give 115% and get nothing back. I want to learn not to shepherd others at my own expense and to learn to place more value on myself (that sounds horrible to say!)
I suspect that I fall into codependent patterns, but at the same time I’m doubting myself- what if that isn’t it? It just seems too easy that there is a word for my relationships, with support groups and what-have-you. I’m looking into going to a local CoDA meeting (I’m fortunate, there are several), and I suppose I’ll take it from there…

I joined a photo meetup group in my area that takes group photo field trips every month or so. I RSVP’d “Maybe” for this month and I hope I can work up the guts and the energy to go.
I figured that maybe making an appointment and getting out with some new people and subjects might renew some enthusiasm and make shooting a habit again.
