Hi Mark,

The issue I have with therapists is that I need to be able to connect with them on a ground level, I feel empathy very deeply and the professionalization of traditional therapy makes it feel disingenuous.

I’m going to school for Music Production and Sound Design. I started Producing Music & DJ’ing about a year ago and I cannot stop thinking about all aspects of it. It’s the first thing that I’ve committed to for myself, and also the first hobby that I didn’t get bored with. The challenges I face when trying to accomplish things here don’t discourage me, they drive me to be better. I know I would be happier doing something that fulfills me in that way, rather than waiting to retire to enjoy life. The old “Time, Money, Energy” adage saying you use up one or the other throughout various stages of your life, always resonated with me. When talking it over with family they all didn’t think it makes any sense (leaving a good paying job), but they are supportive and want me to be happy.
