Can we truly be successful in life, AND have a successful relationship?

As a fashion design major, I can truly say you have to devote your whole life basically to fashion design. I missed that concept unfortuneately, but I digress. I've learned that in order to truly be successful in fashion design, I'm almost positive you cannot have ANY type of distraction. That includes partying, friends, and ofcourse my main topic ...boyfriends. I believe we as young women have all the time in the world for men, so young ladies out there don't get distracted and think you can juggle both because it absolutely cannot happen. Can it? Realistically speaking...if you want to travel the world or gain immediate success, wouldn't a partner hold you back? It really shouldn't if you have the right person in your life, but if you don't ... then I do not see how its possible to have it all...the career, success, and love. I want it all... and I'm tyring to make that all happen, but maybe we have to sometimes accept the fact that our parents are right... maybe we can't have it all... Can we? And if we can...somebody tell me how?

What happens when your expectations become your limitations?

Fashion, styling, gossip, drama, runway shows...is what my life SHOULD be about...unfortunately, my life has taken a temporarily permanent hault. If that is at all possible, I've achieved it! I'm a girl who's expectations after college have completely limited my lifetime goals. People expect a fashion designer's life to be fabulous and fun... when it's the total opposite. Maybe after all the hard work and sacrifices...yeah I guess life would be fun and fabulous but at what cost really? See I expected immediate success right after college because I KNOW my designs are hot and different, but sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes you have to sacrifice alot more than you think, and sometimes I think is it really worth it? Am I going to be happy after getting all the way to the top? I don't know, and this is what scares me.
