oomfies with careers and/or passions, how did you know what you were made to do? something you were born knowing or something you discovered over time?

A few months into my own therapy/ED recovery journey, I was teaching my mom about a skill/concept I learned in therapy, and she asked if I ever thought about becoming a therapist! That coupled with loving supporting my friends made me think it was worth exploring
that’s so great that she saw that in you. sometimes i wish someone would just be like “hey, i think you’d be good at this and here’s why”. i feel like i just need the validation and support of someone telling me what to do and that i’m heading in the right direction. i’m glad it worked out for you!
Thank you! 🩷 and I think that makes so much sense! At the end of the day we all just want to feel seen & known — and trying to figure out a career/life path is really vulnerable/scary so I think it’s so understandable wanting validation and support along the way to feel like you’re getting it right
I loved singing & acting ever since I was little. My self esteem/fear of not being good enough kept me from pursuing it until I happened to do a musical at 26. Now 33 and while I still have a day job I'm working towards getting more professional gigs & just making cool shit with my theatre pals
If you can find a job that you don't hate that allows you to pursue the things you love that's gonna do so much good for you. I've been lucky to have a boss & team that supports my acting and lets me take off on short notice to audition or perform!
i love this!!!!! tbh i’ve always been interested in acting (+ modeling) too, i explored it a bit in middle/high school but the favoritism got annoying & kept me from taking the class again bc the teacher just wanted to work on shows w the faves & not teach the rest of us (common, i’ve learned!)
the thing is i suffer so bad from the fear of being embarrassed that i literally don’t go out on a limb and try things anymore… internalized fear that my fam & friends are gonna think im pathetic or untalented, etc. ! but i like this idea of just finding something that lets you explore other things
