I have always surrounded myself with art. Whether it was music, clothes, poetry, feelings, dance, etc. My mother has always called me the artsy daughter, the daughter who might not understand why trigonometry is used the way it is but can be in a train full of people and write about the five senses set inside that train. My whole life is art. My room filled with the scent of pink, worn out clothes on the floor, flowers with petals that hold on tight, notebooks that tell stories from the past, a patient sewing machine, loneliness that hides under the covers, happiness from the window on the left. My piano downstairs holds notes that uncover sounds that make people dance or cry. My writing holds power. But just recently Iâve realized that the art that I create isnât something I can do for the rest of my life. Why? Because it is just a hobby. A hobby. Isnât that funny? Putting my whole soul into something is just a hobby and it seems as if it will leave me with nothing. But now what? My dream is journalism, but if I really think into the future, is that a good idea? I want a job that I love and that I enjoy but will also let me live my life freely without caring so much about whether or not I will have enough money to pay for everything. The only other thing I can think of is being a dermatologist like my uncle and my grandma. But that is 12 years of school. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. I want to live to my fullest and when I think of another twelve years of being stuck in school, I feel sick. I guess right now I am on a journey to find out what career out there is meant for me. I know I will probably find it, I am just being dramatic about it right now because it sort of feels like there isnât anything else that I am passionate for out there. Hopefully I am reading this in the future and I've got it all figured out and maybe aside from everything my art will be my comfort place after a long day. I hope you guys have a great week and I want you all to know that no matter what you do with your life never forget about the things you are passionate about.
Bye Bye
