Lately I've found myself wondering what I should be doing with myself. Like most other people, I wonder mostly about the future and how to get there. What should I be focusing on? What do I enjoy doing most?

Science, technology, engineering and math. STEM. These are things I am good at. I can perform these tasks well and have sparks of innovation. But that's just one half of me. One half of the brain. I am also well-endowed in the fields of literature, language, and the fine arts. That is the other half of me. So which do I choose to be my dominant field? That is the question that has yet to be answered. I can perform the STEM tasks daily, but it grows tiresome after so long. My body grows weak and cannot function as well as it could. But STEM provides the finances I need. The arts do not. The arts I can do on my own schedule and I can never be out of energy nor resources to continue to create. It is a passion. STEM takes away from this passion, as the energy that would be used to create is then used for it.

So yes, you can do both. But the one you choose will be your dominance. It will overwhelm your life and leave you with little left.

How I wish finances were a thing of fantasy and it needn't be worried about.
