My degree in college has been psychology, I want to be a sex therapist and I know I'd do extremely well in a therapy setting, however, today I had to make a pretty massive detour that will push that goal a few years out for me and I'm terrified. The problem is my time is severely limited. I'm a single mom to two amazing kids and the mental requirement for the degree I'm pursuing has caused me to spend more time on homework than with them and with my kids being so young I can't afford to lose the limited time we have with each other. So I'm hesitant, but happy to say I'm going to get my certification in Exercise Science for now and pursue my Psychology major at a slower pace to make sure that I'm here for my kids, physically and mentally. The shift is scary, but necessary and out of chaos comes growth so I know this will ultimately be a good thing for me to do.
Here's to taking a leap of faith in the dark and hoping I land on my feet!

It takes a lot of strength to be a mom, even more to act selfless against one's own desires, I think that strength will see see you thru to your dreams @deviantred!
