Great post! <3 Love it. I do believe we are made to create. I've had a university education but the first jobs I had were all a disaster in the end: I enjoyed myself for 6 months, then thought 'well I learned it all now', then perfected it for another 6 months, and then always, ALWAYS got physical problems in one way or another. Often ending in quitting my job.
I'm slowly but surely accepting I'm a 'maker', first was photography and I will always love it, but lately I've been making scarfs from wool and vintage silks through wet felting, were just water and soap and agitation creates the product.
I've never felt more healthy :-)
Now I just need one more skill that can be easily 'sold' so to say and I'm definitely thinking about programming, can't short-term see that one go out of fashion, and I enjoyed making websites/write CSS sheets 15 years ago - won some prizes for my CSS designs even.
Who knows, but great post for sure :-)
Hi @Soyrosa, you nailed it with "made to create."
So glad to see this:
You have certainly turned the uncommon - into common. And now moving forward with programming is a great idea. Let's continue with this flow. :)
:-) Thank you! Yes, programming or maybe UX/UI design are my interests as I can combine 'creating' with something called 'job opportunities' ;-) Lol! But I change my mind regularly, lately I've been thinking about studying orthomolecular therapy as well, healing people through (mainly) food. Who knows :D
That's fantastic.
Hehe. Well, we are all the same. :)
Exploring Orthomolecular Therapy, and it almost feels like the concept of "clean eating" minus the medicinal part. Pretty cool!
I would love to see what happens in the next 3 years. Programming, or therapy, or literally conquering this planet! Maybe all three.
Yes! It's part clean eating and part 'eating for recovering the damaged body' - I've just finished reading a book from a 'normal' doctor where she explains all the illnesses she encounters in her doctors office which she believes can be heal all through food. She however only can do 5-10 minute consultations (insurance demands that :-() so she is starting to heal through Orthomolecular therapy next to her general practitioners office. She calls her book (although it's in Dutch so I have to translate a bit freely): 'Did I study medicine or healing?', referring to the shortcut of prescribing medicine to patients while it's often not necessary or even bad for the patient.
Oh I should write a blog about this because it's truly fascinating and I'm rambling on :D Maybe this enthusiasm is a sign I should at least dig into this topic a little deeper :D
You know, thank you! I simply love comments like these! You literally spoke your heart out. And yes, a blog post is a must. :D
Hehehe - I will! Thanks - it was great having this convo with you :-)
Absolutely glad here! Let's enjoy this journey! :)
