Awakening

A recognition, realization, or coming into awareness of something:

I've come to the realization of what defines me.

For the past few months I've been pouring my happiness into managing a bountiful store.

I put Fanciful aside thinking I could fulfill both. Recently I woke up from that thought realizing the place that makes me happiest is when my eyes are blinded from pure white cotton paper, when my hands spend hours on tiny details that one appreciates and when someone expresses my art brings joy to their life. That simply is where I'm happiest.

So I've taken the leap of faith by resigning from my steady job to put my heart where it belongs.
