Why did you decide to stop pursuing your dream of becoming a professional artist?  
Chosen: I realized that while I was passionate about art, the pressure to succeed financially was overwhelming. I struggled to find the right balance between creating and making a living, which ultimately led me to reconsider my path. Now, I’m exploring teaching art instead, which allows me to stay connected to my passion while providing stability. It’s a tough transition, but I’m hopeful about where this journey might lead me.  
Rejected: I just decided it wasn't for me anymore. I found other interests and moved on.<|im_end|>
