Every child has future ambitions and want to be a "big deal" in the society. They want to make cool cash and still have fun doing what they do. That is until they see the real world and they realize that life isn't as easy as it looks in the movies. I was (or I still am) like those little ambitious children. I have (or at least I had) a lot of dream jobs. Jobs that ranged from becoming a fashion stylist to being content creator on Instagram (this one in particular was a fantasy 😅) to being a lab scientist. My latest addition to my long list of dream jobs is becoming A WRITER.
I have always admired writer. The way they convey their thoughts to their reader so easily, really amazes me. I love how complicated and wide their minds are. Nobody really knows what goes on in the mind of a writer. My admiration of writers has always been there but I've never pictured myself becoming one. I used to have an interest in writing when I was younger (it was just for fun but I actually enjoyed doing it). Most of the stories I wrote then made little or no sense😅, but I just liked doing it. But I dropped it when I progressed into secondary school. I always knew my writing was exceptional but I just didn't want to work on it. I always told myself that I wasn't good enough. I kept convincing myself that being a writer was just another fantasy. But here I am trying to make that dream come true. Writing is one thing I'm very passionate about. And it pains me that it took me so long to realize.
When I look back at myself trying to deny the fact that I'm a good writer (or have the potential to be a good writer), I always end up asking myself, “What the hell was I thinking”. I remember some time ago, I and some of my other classmates were chosen to represent the school in an essay writing competition. They wanted to train us so we would represent the school in such competitions. It was literally my time to show off; it was my time to shine. But I turned down the offer. You guys might be thinking “Why turn down such an opportunity? ”. Honestly, I felt I wasn't up to standards. At that moment, I was standing with some really good writers in my class and I felt like the underdog. Maybe if I had actually represented my school we would've won, but I'll never know. I'm just glad that someone saw the fire in me and didn't let it burn out. And right now I'm just concerned about my future as a writer.
I'm a very ambitious young lady😅. And who knows, maybe the content creating may still work out 😂. But I wouldn't want to do what I don't enjoy doing. And as long as I'm passionate about something, I'll find a way to make it work.

Same. I do not enjoy putting hours of work into a post just to earn a few cents, and get no (or only a few) comments.
If it would pay at least the minimum wage, anything would be good. Nowadays I am living in financial discrimination. My income do not reach (and have not reached so far) the minimum wage.
I totally understand, after making a good post and no reward, it's quite understand though. Even with the minimum wage, can one survive my country Nigeria, it pay better be more than the minimum wage though.
