change. the evolution of life is always upon us. every micro second that the pass, something changes.
i've been working at my job now for 6 months and my longing to go back to school is growing more than ever. repetition of tasks are definitely not for me. i crave to learn and to go beyond what i know, but i want to accomplish it doing something i love to do.
which goes to say... customer service is not for me.
i rather create something that pleases people, than doing something to please people.
being out of the comforts of school has led me to revisit a passion that i feel i have abandoned when i started university. art and design. as much as i loved drowning myself in creating art, it was strictly considered a hobby until now. these past few months, i feel that i am no longer seeing art as just a hobby. but rather - a career. from opening up pages of magazines to walking down the streets of toronto, i realized that art is everywhere. art has its own niche in the working world. although it doesn't pay well, doing something you love doing is worth so much more. it's challenging as you constantly have to prove your uniqueness in the industry, it's stressful as you have meet the criteria of clients, however at the end of the day, it's rewarding because you know when your work goes up as a billboard ad, a magazine cover, or a commercial, its reiterates the fact that you've accomplished something much bigger.

I can totally agree with what you're saying. Working those jobs, as good as they can be sometimes, only have a certain capacity to whichwe can enjoy. You have a niche for art/photography and you should pursue it! there's nothing stopping you!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is... If you're honest about what you want out of life, I think it'll give it to you.
I've been living by that for a while and it seems to be working. Give it a shot, and maybe you'll like the direction life gives you.
