I feel like a lot of artists of my generation are having the same problem.
We are torn. Indecisive.
Unsure that what we are doing is worthwhile or beneficial.
By being an artist am I being selfish with my life?
Could my efforts be put towards something else?
Does what I do matter to anyone but myself?
Do others understand this need to create?
What do my dreams and wants matter?
I love to make beautiful things, but there is beauty in useful things too.
I like Dental Technology because I feel like it merges practicality with my artistic nature.
I like the feeling that I can help someone,
that I am making something useful and necessary.
There is symmetry, subtlety, curves and textures.
There is the satisfying sound of something clicking right into place.
Trying to find balance is a hard thing to do.
It does not come about by accident, only by design.
