Which Passions Would I Chase?

Given the chance, I would chase my dreams of becoming a sculptor and a writer.

Why Would I Choose It?

780109_1 — 2025-02-09 23:22:19 UTC

I would choose these two mediums as my preferred activity to master, as it allows me express and capture my own emotions in an unmatched manner. While that may sound cliché, writing and sculpting provide form to thoughts that may otherwise go unspoken.

Writing

780109_1 — 2025-02-09 23:31:22 UTC

Writing is a type of clarity and reflection, displaying raw emotions as they surface. It can be used to build and destroy worlds, creating thoughts into permanent. There’s something incredibly poetic about its ability to shape reality

Sculpting

Sculpting is the other activity I chose! This medium has the unique ability to bring intangible emotions into something real. Every textural change and shape is intentional, exemplifying the weight and presence of this pursuit.

Success?

I want to be successful in these two mediums of art, as it has the power to influence and change a person. As a child, hearing the story of, "The Last Leaf," moved me! It taught me the powers of art in each of our lives, therefore pushing me to pursue it.

What If There Was Only a 10% Chance of Success?

780109_1 — 2025-02-09 23:47:57 UTC

Given an only 10% success rate, I would not pursue these two passions for a multitude of reasons...

Passions Don't Pay

780109_1 — 2025-02-09 23:51:59 UTC

Even though I still might have a chance to make a change, I would not pursue my two passions, as I might be incredibily financially unstable. This in turn could lead to emotional and mental stress, which would prohibit me from making the change I intented to in the first place.

Sometimes Dreams Stay That Way

780109_1 — 2025-02-10 00:03:02 UTC

As much as dreaming, hoping and manifesting are important, so is being realistic. I do not want to spend my life working for something that may not be able to bring to the world even a portion of the satisfaction it brings to me.

The Reality

780109_1 — 2025-02-10 00:08:40 UTC

Generally, this is the reality, where people must balance their dreams with its true practicality. The uncertainty of success makes it difficult to justify dedicating everything to a dream. Sometimes bridging on "almost" is not enough.
