It's a hard process to learn, but I guess I looked at all the great little coincidences that were happening in my life and I came to a relisation that something was looking after me. Things like I would say to myself "boy there is no way I will get a job offer now, I had so many out-of-the-blue offers, but it just would be impossible for something to happen now, and then the next day I will get an email saying "do you want some work". This has happened to me so many times it's not funny. So I took the leap and let go of my fears and just went for what I really wanted. So far so good

Still I understand what you are saying. I have current design skills that can help finance my new career, so that's kind of helpful.
Yep, heh, that scares me, too.

"Quitting" my part-time retail job would essentially burn the ships. I'd *have* to do something in this situation, which I probably knew subconsciously meant facing my fear, so I've kind of avoided that, opting for the more comfortable route.

I was thinking of quitting anyway, but I wasn't *really* quitting, in that I was probably going to get a similar replacement to fill the void, so to speak. That isn't quitting; that's just more of the same.

Without internal changes, this situation will keep manifesting.

This thread is like, pretty intense.
