Deneb,
do you know how long it takes most people to find their PASSION in life?I think you are extremely lucky-- you have developed a way of thinking and acting on your dreams that will serve you very well!
Okay, at some point it's time to think to yourself "what the hell does my sister know about [me, organic chem, life] anyways?" Clearly, she has some kind of self-esteem issues. I feel like you were unfairly targeted in your family as the one with a 'problem'. Family systems are in general dysfunctional when one person is struggling. I think your sister finds some sick sort of comfort in framing all your YOUR choices as idiotic and pathological. My thoughts anyways.
I'm SOOO happy that you've found a niche for yourself. It's important to have realistic expectations, though. Maybe you are really thriving on these types of rxns, and the next chapter is more boring, less exciting or whatever. Just stick with it, and try to remember the highs, even when you feel stuck in the doldrums
-Ll
