Psychology broke up with me today.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am no longer pursuing a degree in psychology. Instead my studies will now focus on Creative Writing.
My initial reaction was a very bittersweet one; bitter because I was a little shocked that my career path changed in a matter of minutes. But then I thought about it a little more and realized just because I was studying psychology didn't mean I even had a career path.
So my next reaction was "sweet!"
And there you have it; bittersweet.
Now, hours later, I can say that I feel completed liberated. I didn't think I was going to be okay with giving up on psychology but I don't really see it as "giving up". I've always said I'm not made for a professional lifestyle. Sure, I could still end up in that sort of setting, but at least now I don't have to. Now I can do what I've always wanted to do: WRITE.
And so I'm going to. In fact, my first move in this entire thing is a new blog. Unlike this blog, it will have a particular subject, and a very personal one at that. In the process of re-reading much of what I've written lately, I've noticed a common theme running through all of them; my borderline personality disorder. So, instead of using this blog to talk about that I'm going to use another one purely for my disorder.
It's going to be honest, and raw, and probably very difficult for me to write but I feel as though someone needs to speak as part of the (not really there) BPD community.
