Hey Nick,

I completely agree with the others. It is hard being young and so
much ahead mentally, which I know you are. I think you are headed
towards the right path. Maybe you get bored easily??? Maybe you
always have to be moving forward and learning something to feel
satisfied or some what content. It seems like you have very high
goals and expectations. Once you know you can achieve them it is no
longer satisfying. I don't want to give you any psyco babble cause I
am NOT qualified. You just sound like a VERY good friend of mine.

I know this probably won't help but I wanted you to know anyway. I
am 35 and in no way, shape or form an artist. You wouldn't believe
the lenghts I have gone to try to duplicate designs I have seen.
Coming from someone who wishes desperately they could design and
accomplish what you have done at such a tender age.

I believe that people are given gifts in life. It may not be the
gift you want. Sometimes your gift is obvious, and sometimes it is
the journey. I know your emotions run pretty deep. That will never
change no matter how old you get. However, you will gain experience
to be able to put it all in perspective.

My friend that I have known since kingergarten, was not happy to be a
good muscian. He had to rival the best. Not for anyone else, but
for his inner self. Not some ego thing here. He really doubted
himself all the time. Now some 20 years later, he is not only a
great piano player but a great nuerosurgeon. I hope you see my
point, not doubting your ability, but mine in trying to make one. He
still to this day has no idea all the seeds he has planted along the
way.

Hope this makes sense. It doesn't get easier. But you definately
have a talent. Trust your heart.
