#like i appreciate your optimistic spirit but we literally live under capitalism
Text
Need to find a therapist who doesn't think "~follow your passion~" is good career advice.
you ever feel like you can just tell someone else is romanticizing YOUR life???
#admittedly this was a bigger issue with my former therapist than my current one#but today she DID suggest i go to college for acting...#my life#my feelings#by elise#like i appreciate your optimistic spirit but we literally live under capitalism#idk i feel like older women get swept up in the idea of me as An Artist#and it's like yeah I'm good at these things and like doing them but that doesn't mean they NEED to be my whole life#maybe in a perfect world I'd make art or acting my main thing#but in THIS world that's frankly more work and stress than i need#also i guess i feel a little insulted by the idea that i can't find a non-artist career fulfilling and rewarding#as if i can't find plenty of joy and meaning in mundane interactions with the people around me#and like i love learning...i can have fun learning about such a wide variety of topics!#something doesn't have to be 'my passion' for me to bring passion and enthusiasm to it#AND acting is just fun! so obvs there are way more people who want to act than there are opportunities to support oneself acting
