There was a time in my life when my art was my main focus.
I even started out in college as a straight up visual arts major.
Sadly, I allowed parents, relatives and others to get in my head. I changed my major to graphic design so I could get a good job. Well, I did just that plus I have been toiling for nearly 7 years at that task. A recent trip to the cannabis store has me looking at things a bit differently. When I was in class, myself and multiple of my classmates loved recreational marijuana. Not only was it a superb decompresser from school but using cannabis also was a great creative motivator. A buddy came into town who still uses sativa plus indica products and invited me to get something for myself. I chose an edible hybrid strain. And that night, I had a bit of a brain blast. While I am thankful to have my task plus the fine living it provides, I just don’t love the trade off. There is a hole in my body since I abandoned my passion. I saved half the hybrid strain edible for the next morning. And I felt even more strongly that I wanted to pursue my passion. Due to that trip to the cannabis store, I was able to work out a deal at work. I’ll maintain my work for now but they will help me go back to school to acquire an MFA in the visual arts field that I have longed to be a part of. So it appears I’ll even be able to advance my work while doing what I truly have wanted to do for a long time.
