It is likely that no one will ever read this. So I’m treating this as a personal thought-entry.
I’m about to graduate from college and have been wired on job searching ever since this summer. I’ve led myself to believe that I need to find a job because that’s what you do after college. And a job means something in an office, typing, making calls, stability, security.
All my life, I was only ever really happy when I was able to get lost in my own thoughts and write about them. I want to cry when I read a wonderfully-written book. I forget everything when I hear a great song with great lyrics. I only want to write.
Which is why I am going to try to stop thinking that my future happiness lies in a job in a high-rise office. That’s what I thought I wanted because that’s what every other college student wants, or is programmed to want. I’m going to reprogram my goals and settle for something much more gratifying. I’m going to work my way up to achieving this happiness and become a professional daydreamer.
