The Changes Keep Coming

So far things keep changing and moving. My place of employment which until recently, had been a source of confusion and problems. It wreaked havok on my relationship and kept me from having the motivation to work on my art. It is amazing how things have changed. An opportunity has come allowing me to be an artist and work at "the other place" part-time. This is the most time I have had for creating new work and I am incredibly happy about that. I like the new direction even though it is not as random. Why should it be random? I am a calculated person to begin with and I try not to take unnecessary chances. Well, at least chances on things I would do poorly without. I have a very supportive friend who doesn't exactly understand my work but she understands me which in some ways is even better. She thinks I should be more ambitious about the avenues for my art and I am trying to adopt that idea. It's a little difficult when your in such an insulated environment. It is a much easier path when you have a friend that believes in you. Thing is, I am so emotionally self sufficient, I failed to utilize assistance (on a personal level). It is easy to ask for artistic help from organizations and such but it is very difficult for me to ask for assistance in situations of friendship. I have always been the strong mind and the open ear. It is nice to be able to shed that layer and be just a person who actually needs someone sometimes and welcome the comfort of those people that have my back. It's a new role I'm playing and I kinda like it...
