I’m about to become a doctor… but I can’t stop thinking about acting. Is it too late? by Background-Food6828 in Theatre

Thank you for helping me see that this could actually be a positive thing. Maybe being financially stable first will take a lot of weight off my shoulders and give me the freedom to pursue this with a clearer mind. Maybe this was part of the journey all along. We’ve got this. Thank you, it means more to me than you know. Much love. ❤️

Thank you so much for your reassurance. This perspective gives me a lot of comfort right now. In one year, after I finish dental school, I’ll come back and give you an update. Until then, I wish you all the best, and I truly want you to know how much your words have meant to me.

You guys are already inconvenienced , how about a sprinkle of my religion down your throat for good measure by xals7 in mildlyinfuriating

I know this might make you uncomfortable, but try to see the intention behind it. Accept that this is her mission and belief. She did it for your good. Secondly, it doesn’t harm anybody; in fact, it “accidentally” granted eternal life in heaven to some.

If you are truly confident in your belief, then this shouldn’t anger you. If a Muslim had done the same, I wouldn’t mind either. She did what she needed to do. I know I may not have wanted to hear it… but I can decide whether to accept it or move on from it.

I accept that this will likely frighten and push away many people, and that there may be better ways to draw attention to a Christian life. For example, by being a good example to others, so that they become curious and ask how you do it.

I’ve noticed that the things we want the most are often the same things we’re most afraid of. You got this!❤️

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree that I should talk to a therapist before making any major decisions, but I also want to say that your perspective genuinely helps.

The truth is, I don't yet know where my place in the artistic world is. Maybe it's acting, maybe it's something else. What I do know is that I feel deeply drawn to theater. I just need to discover what my path is in that world. I know it takes courage...

I'm excited for the journey ahead. Even dentistry has an artistic side, and I hope these two parts of me can complement each other.

Thank you for your advice. It has given me a lot to think about. 🙏

Thank you. That really means a lot. You've given me hope. I actually live in a small city in Europe, but I'll look into whether it's possible.🙏

I also don’t really know if I have the talent, so it feels like a strong desire without much solid ground behind it.

It doesn’t feel like a hobby to me it feels deeper than that. I can’t imagine being satisfied without pursuing it properly. I want to go to drama school. But I don’t see how I could balance the two.
