Wants To Be An Artist
Hi Elsa,
In most areas of my life, I am happier than I can ever recall.
However, I am having some financial difficulties. I’ve been making a little personal income on the side, but don’t really want to re-enter the workforce. My husband supports us quite well, but I feel like I’m not carrying my own weight.
Sometimes I think that I’m not prioritizing money enough. I have the burning desire to pursue my art, but not necessarily for financial gain. But when I focus on creative endeavors, I feel guilty for not spending that time earning an income.
How do I balance the two?
Thanks,
Deer in Headlights
Dear Headlights,
I’m going to make this real simple for you and it will be your job not to jumble it up in a knot.
You are a super-responsible Capricorn crossed with a perfectionist Virgo. You’re using the energy of these signs to give yourself an ulcer!
Does your husband mind supporting you? Ask him. If he says he doesn’t mind, then believe him. Because I’m guessing you don’t have a dependent bone in your body.
If he doesn’t mind supporting you, I bet it’s because you serve him night and day. He probably knows he’d be completely lost without you. Seriously, I don’t think you know your value. You are judging yourself solely on your ability to earn income. That is completely ludicrous. Would you apply that criteria to someone else?
Here’s the key. If you can get it into your Virgo head that creating art is a service, you’ll be home free. Please talk to your husband. Then go be an artist!
