Awakening

4 months into 2018 and I’ve learnt and seen things from so many different perspectives. If anything, I’m pretty sure this year will definitely go into my list of BEST. TIME. OF. MY. YOUNG. ADULT. LIFE.

­I’ve been a naïve dreamer for as long as I can remember. To dream of things that no one else dares to achieve yet not realistically taking steps to make things happen for myself. I want be a fashion editor. I want to be a graphic designer. I want to be this, I want to be that. I’ve got so many ambitions but eventually resigning to “fate” and picking the exact same thing again and again because a) it’s relatively related to my major and b) I like clothes and shoes. Twice I’ve picked the same route over the course of 6 months and twice they didn’t work out. I’ve been extremely lucky that life has repeatedly gone out of its way to cut my journey short both times (albeit somewhat ridiculous). If not, I would’ve continued doing what I hate every day and eventually turn into this mundane, soulless old prude.

This time round it’s going to be different.

Because I am different.

I am going to finally pick something that I want to do.

I’ve been told that interests/hobbies and work don’t exactly have to be the exact same thing. There’s always weekends and after working hours for you to dabble in things that you have passion for. Sure, you might not love your full-time work as much as your freelance stuff, but is there shame in it? Nah. You do what you have to do to earn a living and to balance that out, you do what you want to do in your own time.

Don’t let rejection(s) be a reason to stop you from chasing your dreams.

Learn from it, improve on it, go for it.

At the end of the day we all only have got one life and if you’re not looking forward to what every new day brings, then are you even living?

xoxo,

Wendy
