Today’s The Day

Today is the day I will post this without overthinking. Without editing. Without second guessing and over analyzing. I want to be a copywriter. I want to earn a living by putting into words the ideas of amazing people. I have alerts to be notified of job openings. Every time a notification pops up, I get excited at the possibility of a new opportunity. Then, as I begin to fill out the application, I am reminded of my failures. My lack of a portfolio. My failure to post. My limited professional experience. So I don’t apply. And I feel guilty. Guilty that I created this platform years ago, and here it sits. Probably years since I’ve touched it. I look at it once a year or so, when I get an email notification about the credit card charge for this domain name. Then I resolve to post more. Build a portfolio. Clean my room. Drink more water. Be a better person. After lots of yoga, church and time, I am coming to terms with the fact that I am a pretty good person. My ideas and feelings are as valid as your ideas and feelings. In order to have open conversations, I must use my words. Words that I mean, not only words I think someone else wants to hear. Here are my words for today. Cheers to typing more words tomorrow.
