I’VE BEEN M.I.A. …
For the last couple months I have been in writing hiding. I have a personal journal that I carry around constantly and I try and update it with my daily life. For the most part I am pretty good at it, but lately I have not had much motivation. I suppose this entry is for personal reasons, I just want to get back into the swing of things.
I have always secretly wanted to be a writer. Not an editor who, for a living, has to pick through someone else’s work, not a journalist who reports problems that they are most likely and quite frankly bored by. Just a writer, I’m not exactly sure what that means for me considering I am going to college for Organizational Leadership and Supervision, and have been for the last two years. Basically with this OLS degree, I could do numerous things with, like work in HR, organize events, or just work managerial jobs in general . Truly the only reason why I am going to college for that instead of something in English or writing is because I would want to write in my free time, with my own blog and no boundaries.
It’s hard to have goals that you are scared to reach for. I am getting that degree strictly as a backup, a safety net to fall into in case my plans for writing don’t work out the way I would like for them too. I don’t even know what I would write about, what topic I would want to pursue and cover for the rest of my life. I feel like the only thing I’m certain of is that I love to write, and I’m not sure if that’s enough. I know it takes dedication and it’s a slow process, but If i don’t even know what direction to go in, what do I do?
Lately I have been so unsure of my future and what decisions I should be making now in order to live the life I want to live when I’m older. I figure I can blog and write in my free time and use the degree to get a job while I do what I love on the side. I just hope that my brain can sort some things out for me in the near future. Waiting around to find out what the future holds is pathetic and I need to quit acting like everything will just unfold for me. Hard work leads to high rewards, I need to work hard on my writing in order to get anywhere with it. I just need a direction to go now.
Wish me luck!

Hi Madison, firstly thank you for your comment on my blog. I’d like to try and a give a little advice, do you what you want to do in the boundaries of your life. That may sound like a cope out but I think it’s true. Be a writer, if that’s what you want to be and if your lucky (yip that’s apart of life too) and work hard at it you could be a writer. On the other hand I’m a total stranger feel free to ignore everything I’ve said lol. Good luck !!

I’m in my thirties and I am still struggling to figure out just who it is I am exactly. I’m like you . I know pieces of what I want to become , but I’m not sure how they will all fit together. I guess only time will tell. Timing is everything and I believe when all the pieces are mean’t to come together they will for you and hopefully myself as well. Keep writing 🙂
