hi jugga, i feel like im in a similar position
i am a talented graphics designer, and i know that if i continue to pursue it i can probably become very successful from it. i make good money as a freelancer in my spare time from school, and i know how good i really am. not to be overly cocky, but i know that i'm more creative than a lot of people, and i could probably head in that direction as a career and do well.
however, i've always told myself this is just temporary. i will stop doing it after school and pursue something more important. even though i enjoy the work, i feel like i want something more. maybe it's the challenge i seek? and knowing you're going to succeed kinda takes that away. is that maybe how you feel?
what i've learned from this, is that sure i'm talented at this, but i can be talented at a lot of things. maybe it's not graphics design that's really stimulating me, but more of the opportunity to be 'creative'. so maybe being a 'sax player' isn't your calling, but there was something there that peaked your interest. maybe it was making music, listening to music, performing, etc. so go see what else is out there.
just remember, you don't know, what you don't know. your entire perspective can change when you learn something new.
