Discovering my Path...
I lost my job recently. I was a ghostwriter for a small California-based compay called ArticleNUT. I was fired because I had submitted an article with horrible errors without noticing.
The thing is... I almost lost my identity as a writer. I used to love creative writing, learning languages, writing blog posts... The severely underpaid grind of that job brough me the income I needed to move cou try but only barely. Soon enough, I was getting more anxiety attacks than money from that job. All creativity and love for writing was gone and I was a robot at the keyboard, churning out the wordcount because they wanted quantity and minimum quality.
I've been unemployed for over two months now. I actually feel good about that, strange as it may sound. I've always wanted to be a blogger! Now I have the time and energy to go after that dream. I love to write and brainstorm andwrite some more! Finally, it's about being me and doing something I love instead of regurgatating the same topics over and over trying to hit an underpaid wordcount.
I want to encourage you to not despair! It's so gard losing a job because that means suitability. I don't have children to take care of which makes it easier for me to say this but- go after what you love most! If you can make an invome out of it and really get enough money from it... go for it and work your butt off. It will feel scary at times but it will be the most beautiful feeling if you succeed.
I know I will. I work towards it every day and my heart feels full. I discovered my path again and I have hard-set the course.
