I am reminded of what Joseph Campbell said - "Follow your bliss". It is rather sad what I am reading, because you are not following your bliss, you are following other people's ideas of what you should be and what you should do... What does kittty want? My Daddy has been displeased with me over school stuff, because he knows where my bliss is, what I was put here to do, and he would not let me give up. It was one of the largest sources of our problems that led to us parting ways briefly last summer. You see, I am a degreed anthropologist, a scholar, and I am in the top 5 percent academically speaking. I also suffered from an anxiety disorder that made it seem impossible to go on to do the things I needed to do in order to follow my bliss... but Daddy pushed me, and yes this is a condition of our relationship... those to whom much is given must use it, and he refused to sit back and watch me waste what was given me... the difference between our doms, if my application to one of the top ten schools on the west coast, a school that is in the top five for my discipline, fails... he will love me for at least trying... all he wanted from me was to try.. to try to finish the journey I started long before he met me. The pressure you are under sounds tremendous, and I hope you find your bliss kittty, the thing that you know that you could spend a lifetime doing no matter what anyone said or did to try to convince you that you should quit. I found my vocation, the thing I have to do no matter what, and having the person beside me that sees that I am exactly suited to my purpose is just part of my bliss. Yours is waiting for you somewhere... because it isn't the law, if it were you would not be so wishy washy about it, and I bet your score would have been even higher for that which you innately cared to learn about... just sayin'
