No matter what the outcome, the worst thing that could happen is that she get a chance to do some form of what she loves, and that she will not have regrets when she gets older. This is a valuable gift. The best thing that could happen is that she will meet her goals and more. This is a no lose situation. I wish I'd had someone to support my creative dreams when I was young. It is cruel to push someone away from what they show obvious talent for and enjoy as well because you have opinions about how successful they'll be. <br /><br />I too think that many people have given up on their dreams and so think that dreams are impractical. They then resent those who go for it. <br /><br />Peace and love,<br /><br />OOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44969581632723708.post-25448762558792013742010-03-04T09:40:09.410-07:002010-03-04T09:40:09.410-07:00I think Mary, in the above comment, said it best! ...I think Mary, in the above comment, said it best! People who try to discourage creative people are probably just sad, and mad at themselves for not doing what they love to do. I try to always encourage anyone who is creative....actually I try to encourage anyone no matter what their dream may be. And I, for one, will not only look for your book at B&N but I'll also look for your daughter's as well.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084823218319628822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44969581632723708.post-89302675833150345912010-03-04T08:54:50.548-07:002010-03-04T08:54:50.548-07:00i love this post. i have a bfa in painting, my hus...i love this post. i have a bfa in painting, my husband has a bfa in theater, one daughter has a bfa in dance and the other a degree in literature and who wants to be a writer...and yes, we've heard and continue to hear all the discouraging talk. my husband eventually gave up on theater and works as a retail manager for a small environmental non profit. i have been a free lance artist and writer my whole adult life. my dancing daughter has kids and now teaches and the youngest is either traveling around the world or working as a bar tender to pay for her travel around the world...we are all pretty poor financially but pay our bills. we own our own home, the oldest daughter and her husband own theirs and my youngest shares a house with 2 other people when she's not traveling and living out of her backpack. <br /><br />that man may sneer but none of us would change a thing.<br /><br />yay for your daughter. life is hard enough. people who stomp on other people's dreams need to go stand in the corner and repeat 50 times, i will not be mean, i will not be envious, i will not be mean, i will not be envious...<br /><br />because in my humble opinion, people who snort and sneer at artists, writers, dancers, actors, dreamers, baseball players, etc. are really just sorry they didn't do something they love, too....Mary Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987381109911597964noreply@blogger.com
