What do you do when you overthink at age 26? How do you cancel out the noise of opinions and go for what works best for you? Why are you writing?
i truly don’t know where to start, my journals this year are filled with uncertainty but I write so much that i know without a doubt i will do it for a living. in which, remote work is very popular now but writing has always been remote. i think that’s why i love the sirens of being a writer. The thrill of failing is probably the highlight of the career choice itself. When i think of being a writer i think of learning multiple languages and martial arts until i reach mastery. It’s the career for nomads, i can’t sit still for an hour without doing yoga, breathwork, meditation or Tai chi. can you see how being in a cubicle for 8 hours isn’t a dream killer for me?
it took me a whole year to really get clear on where i truly want to go, what i want to do with my life, who i want to be, and why did i even choose this path. i guess how isn’t as important as why, I’ll get into that some other time but writing was at the forefront of every goal that i have written down everyday for about 6 months on my mini legal pads. Is it dedication, discipline, or desire? all of the above because it’s what do you want to get there isn’t in my control. I guess that is why, why is more important than how, you can’t control how you’ll get there.
The second 6 months i spent my time trying out ventures like hosting an airbnb with my apartment, sharing my car on turo, but i’m ending the year with door dash and amazon flex as my end of the year flex. I wanted to create a environment conducive to my desires so i vagabonded half the year renting out hostels on airbnb, trying out new venues around the city of houston. starbucks is the best venue for writing, reading, and learning ( it depends on the time. if it’s rush hour… scream internally and leave). trust me i tried ignoring the noise but you can’t fight the noise of dedicated baristas.
i must say it has been a hell of a year. it may seem unneccessary that i done all the things i wanted to do to figure out if it was worth pursuing as a lifestyle. I feel accomplished and optimistic to make it happen on a global scale now.
