OK GO!
Ok ok ok. Here we go.
I know I like to write!
It makes me happy, always has. I have circled around journalism as an idea for a career since I was old enough to know what a career was. I stopped trying to write when I decided being a writer would not be profitable and that being a journalist would involve too much ass-kissing (whoops, almost wrote ass-kicking! I wish!). But then I grew up a little bit and realised:
I am allowed to be more than one thing!
Society tells us to choose 'what to do with our lives'. There doesn't just have to be one answer! I know this is a seemingly un-profound, really obvious thing to say but I need to remind myself that this is true! I can be a little bit of a writer, linguist, sociologist, scientist, pianist, whatever! All at the same time. Just as I am allowed to have a variety of interests, I am allowed to have a variety of things that I do.
So! With a fresh and delicious year ahead of me I want to write some goals for this year. And yes I want to immortalise them on this webpage so that there can be no escape. Hello!!
