Goals and How They Change Over Time

In the past 5 years (since I started my college career to now, my last semester of school) I have changed my mind about so many things so many times. Skipping the whole finding myself stuff and getting straight to what I thought I wanted to do, it was always animation. When I was in community college it was animation, I wanted to work for Disney one day. I came to Cal State Long Beach thinking that I was certain in the fact that I wanted to animate for the rest of my life. It came time to apply for the animation BFA, I tried my hardest to get in, but my hardest was not enough. Don’t get my wrong, I didn’t change my mind because I didn’t make it into the program. I changed my mind because not getting into the program made me realize that I am not motivated like my classmates were, and if I weren’t motivated enough, I would end up hating it. Animation will always have a place in my heart and I will always be up to helping friends with their films or helping with ideas any way I can, but I will not be what I was so sure my whole life I wanted to be.
So now here I am, a studio arts major who dabbles in metal work, tattoo art, and just experimenting with what I can get my hands on. Honestly, a lot of what I have just wrote is me rambling trying to say that I don’t know what my goal in life is. I love all art and I am still figuring out who I am and what I am supposed to do in this world. If I were to make a website, I wouldn’t want it to be based on solely one aspect of the art that I do. I would want it to be everything with no label. My main goal is to never stop trying different things in art.
