So good to hear your voice coming out in these blogs. I appreciate your honesty and full disclosure so much. Did you realize that while helping yourself, you'd be helping other people to?! Well... you think a lot, so maybe you did ;). If not, lemme clear that up right now. You are! <br /><br />I love how God/the Universe puts people in our paths. It's especially nuts when it's not even someone we KNOW. Sometimes they come to let us know we're on the right track. Other times it's to open our eyes to things we've been blind to. And at other moments, maybe to give voice to this little thing that's been inside of us that knows we've been heading the WRONG direction despite our best laid plans and intents. Whoever it comes from and for whatever reason, it is almost always unexpected, and a gift. Who knows, maybe this blog is one for me. <br /><br />I have a tendency to think I'm never ready to receive things- never prepared enough, haven't taken enough lessons, haven't put in as much time as so and so, etc. In some way, that's kind of what your DA was saying to you. Maybe, even without grad school, you are enough. Right now. Maybe what we THINK is impossible, is only so because we're in our own way. That is NOT to say don't apply. It's not to say you won't get in. It's not even to say that you wouldn't learn a ton. It is just that in this perpetual evolution, who's to say that even when you're done getting accepted to both Yale and NYU :), you decide on a program and graduate, that you'll feel prepared then? There will always be something more that we could do. How do we know the difference between the path we've chosen for ourselves and the Universe's path for us? Guess that's the point of this post ;) Anyhoo, I'll leave with a quote. It's one that spoke to me. Maybe it will say something to you as well.<br /><br />"I don't understand why you don't realize how great you are. You...put the time in, you rehearse, you dedicated your life to this artform. And you paid and you studied.You've EARNED the right. You've got to shake that polite thing off your shoulder, get out of your head, and get into your gift, ok?" - Laurieann Gibson<br /><br /><3Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13753351410175171285noreply@blogger.com
