Three years into my academic journey, reality painted a different picture. Despite immersing myself in the world of art, I soon realized that the ivory towers of academia wouldn't be my battleground for a fulfilling career. An unexpected turning point emerged when I received an invitation for a three-month internship. Viewing it as a stepping stone towards financial stability and professional recognition, I eagerly embraced the opportunity. The catch, however, was a meager stipend of 2000 hryvnias, a sum that barely covered my metro fare at the time. Caught between my artistic dreams and the harsh reality of financial constraints, I reluctantly made the decision to abandon my academic pursuits. The unfulfilled dream of becoming an art historian served as a catalyst, propelling me toward a different, albeit uncertain, path in pursuit of my true passion.
