You only have to follow the rules that you set for yourself, even if your rule is more like "do what makes me happy" than "I should work at a place like that!"<br /><br />AngAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246741020995800093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302558749275876348.post-63724119869703893442013-02-01T17:34:12.020-05:002013-02-01T17:34:12.020-05:00YES!

Are you still working in the field? <br /><br />I would never take back what my experience taught me! It was definitely eye opening but in a good way. I learned so much. I used to always tell the groups I worked with that I learned more in 3 months interning there than I did 5 years as a Psychology undergrad.

There are times I wish I didn't care what my parents/family thought but I have to accept that it will always care but need to live my life regardless!

She said, 'Follow your bliss..'. It's so simple but something so difficult for many people to do. I know my family's frustrations with me is that I chose a different life, and the way I look at it is if I can support myself on this backroad journey, what's the harm? <br /><br />Do what makes you happy and everything else will fall into place. : )Lisa C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12987591066365440139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302558749275876348.post-7485998074817446172013-01-31T16:59:06.565-05:002013-01-31T16:59:06.565-05:00I think it is great you are going for something yo...I think it is great you are going for something you really want.
