All my life, people told me you can’t do everything, you can’t BE everything but throughout my life, I figured out that they are wrong about that. You can be whatever you want to be and the world is anything you want it to be.
What I want to be? I want to be a writer. I am so artistic and I can make anything out of nothing. I see things as something else and others don’t. I wish to have someone look at the poems, quotes, stories, and drawings I have created over the years. I just have one problem that’s always been holding me back… I fear changes in my life and fear failure. I don’t want to fail. I never want to fail… What if they hate my work? My dreams would be crushed. I can’t even show my family my work.
It’s pathetic, I know. When I was ten, I had it all planned out, I’d publish a book and draw my own pictures for it (if it was a child’s book), I’d later on, go to a good school, hopefully Harvard. Harvard has always been my dream school and I wish more than anything to be walking through those halls as a student. Anyway, I had planned to study animals and travel the world and take pictures of EVERYTHING I saw. The Great Wall, Big Ben, the Pyramids… Everything. After awhile, I planned on going BACK to college to be a teacher.
However, my depression is also affecting my writing a great deal. It’s been monthes since I’ve actually written something because of it.
Writing is my passion though, I just hope I actually get to be what I want to be.
