[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 717428, member: 18958"] I am over 3 times the age of your son. I love art too. 11 years ago I wanted to go to art school. I was focused and ready to immerse myself and work hard. I required 2 basic foundation courses. Fast forward last week I came across the 15 college applications I submitted for enrolling. Nothing completed. False starts. I believe myself to be an accomplished and motivated woman. But every life has demons. For the past 5 years I have wrangled with my own. And I have felt at times - a lot - that the demons have won. I have had to face that this defeat is my real life perhaps more than the "successes" I cling to. How I wish I had been strong enough to integrate this real life (the demons, internal conflicts) at your son's age. Colleen. I think I know some of your pain and fear. There is no taking away all of it. Because that is our life journey. Meaning for us to make. A book is helping me understand. Transitions. William bridges. [/QUOTE]
