"If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you."

It feels kind of corny titling a blog post with a quote (the one above is credited to Fred deVito), especially a quote that is probably on one of those "inspirational" posters hanging in your high school guidance counselor's office, but this where I stand at the moment.

After making some changes that I knew were necessary, I find myself in a quandry. When do you get to say that after all of the changes you've made to better yourself, you might have actually made the wrong decision? And I'm not saying I made a mistake - it was a change that needed to be made, after all, and I don't regret making it - but I think I made the wrong choice (and no matter what anyone tells you, there is a difference between making a mistake and making the wrong choice).

"I've never really considered myself to be a quitter."

And speaking of quotes, that's another that I've heard lately. And although those words didn't come out of my mouth, I find I've been turning them over and over (and over) in my own head. When is enough actually enough?

I know what I'm good at. I also know that in the last year especially, I've been questioning what I'm meant to do. Do I need more experience? Do I need to go back into art full time? Do I need to find a job that I love, where I'm able to do both? Do I go back to school?

I've said before that this year is about change for me. So I'm taking it as a positive that I've made changes, and still thinking about making more. I don't know what's going to happen next - but I've always been up to the challenge of figuring it out.
