Hello!
(x)
As some of you may know, I've been working full time over summer to earn some money for when I go back to university. My job is nothing special, but it's fine for earning a little bit of extra money whilst I'm home - it's definitely not a career for me.
The thought of being stuck in an office job for the rest of my life makes me want to cry! For some people, work is just work; it pays the bills and allows them to have a few luxuries along the way. That's fine, but for me, the job I end up doing will be such a massive part of my life, I just can't let myself end up in a job I hate.
I am a writer and that's the only thing I have every wanted to be. I feel like it would be worthless for me to do anything else because I will never be able to put my heart and soul into anything other than writing. It's a huge part of who I am and I feel like it was what I was meant to do.
When I'm at work, or doing anything other than writing, I find my mind drifting and thinking about the next poem I'm going to write, or what my characters in my current story are going to get up to next. My mind is constantly elsewhere, and I need a job that fuels my imagination and lets me express my creativity to my heart's content.
For me, the ideal career would be an author. To earn a living purely from writing books would be an absolute dream come true! But I'm aware that that kind of success in the writing industry only happens for a rare few people and I know that, chances are, I won't be one of them. That is not going to stop me going after what I want though, and it shouldn't stop any of you either!
No matter where you are in life, no matter how much experience you have in your field, no matter how many set backs you have, keep going until you achieve everything you have ever hoped for. If you believe in yourself, you can and will do it. Don't settle for a job you don't enjoy, you deserve a job that you go to bed excited to wake up for the next day.
Some dreams take longer to achieve than others, but persevere and you will get there!
Have dreams so big they terrify you!
Be ambitious!
Lots of love
Megan
