Bit of a blast from the past that popped up on my memories this morning.
Five years ago to this day, working in EE at the peak of Covid with my man
@_ryanspivey both doing what we needed to do. Since then, weāve both gone on to achieve so much.
Since taking the leap and deciding that I wanted to make something out of what was once a hobby, now turned profession (feels weird to say that this is my job), so much has changed.
The moral of the story is: whatever you truly have a passion for, donāt let that slip. It doesnāt come around often. Itās allowed me opportunities that some people will never get to experience in their lives, and for that, Iām forever grateful.
Itās taken me around the world, and I really have been blessed ā and grateful ā for what Iāve learned along the journey.
But letās not get it twisted ā it hasnāt all been sunshine and rainbows, thatās for sure. Iāve burnt bridges, let people down, not met deadlines. Sometimes, you have to accept the fact that no one is perfect, and life can really get in the way.
But I think everything in life is a lesson ā a lesson of what to do, and what not to do. There have been days where you lose that spark, when something you were once so passionate about can feel lonely, and the days of editing can feel endless.
But you have to remember: at one point, this is all you ever wanted ā to be able to take your passion and turn it into a career.
So, if you take anything from this long-ass paragraph, take this:
If you really want it, then you can achieve it.
