Thank you, @jeska! There are, indeed, many sacrifices we must make to follow our dreams. The path isn’t an easy one. There have been many days when I’ve wanted to quit but something keeps spurring me along. Living this way has made me resilient and it also has made me appreciate the things that really matter. Creative people really are like one big family. When I’m feeling down spending time with other creative people never fails to lift my spirits. Thank you for your comment!
