A port to bravery

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.


Daily Prombt

Job search can be an absolute nightmare! Finding the perfect job that aligns with your skills, interests, and aspirations can feel like an uphill battle. It’s a constant rollercoaster of emotions, from excitement and hope to frustration and disappointment.

That’s what the AI assistant suggested about job search. I should apply for one job each month, and it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. I get suggestions about jobs to apply for, but they’re more about getting job experience. I already know how to be in a workplace. I need experience in my field, which is design. I don’t even get an internship, so how can I get more experience. I’m tired of searching for something that doesn’t exist. If I attempted something I was guaranteed not to fail, it would be entrepreneurship. But my port lacks enough bravery. I’ve read about people failing their business or that it takes years to make it successful. I don’t have time to wait years and years. I don’t know if I have enough skills to do things on my own. If I get a part-time job, I won’t have enough strength to think about having a business on the side. I thought finding a job would be easier to get, so I put entrepreneurship on hold.

But since I still haven’t found anything, I thought about it again. I just don’t know what kind of design work I would have. A lot of graphic designers do the same things. Trying to compete with them isn’t an easy task. They have more experience than I have. To become an entrepreneur takes a lot of work, and I don’t know if I’m up for it. It isn’t an impossible dream, though. It can be doable, but I need the courage and strong will to start. You don’t know how it will turn out if you don’t try, right?

A queue of enjoyable writing

What do you enjoy most about writing?

1–2 minutes

What I mostly enjoy about writing is that I have time to think. I prefer it to speaking. You don’t have time to say what you want when you talk, at least in my case. I often wish I had said something, but time has passed, and people have changed the subject. Sometimes I use a pencil and paper, but mostly I type on the computer. It’s faster, and your hand don’t get tired. I don’t only write this blog, but I also write fiction. It’s a queue of enjoyable writing.

I don’t know if you can call it a problem, but I don’t seem to finish the stories I’ve written. There is a queue of unfinished work. I just get bored of the stories and get new ideas. Writing can be stressful sometimes, but I enjoy it the most when I get my thoughts written down. Everyone is good at something, and writing is my strongest point. Especially when it comes to imagination. Writing is enjoyable when ideas come pouring. When I write, it can take hours. But when ideas don’t come, it’s then when I don’t like writing.

There are times I don’t have the motivation to write, so I take a break. A break would do everyone good, and then come back stronger than ever. Having a break from something creative, you find new inspiration to continue. It doesn’t need to be creative; it can be anything you do in life. Writing is a great hobby to have, and I hope I will do it for a long time.

Dreams and goals are two different things

Last subject in the Filmmaking course

How do you plan your goals?

Daily Prompt

As it happens, we talked about dreams and goals on the last day of the filmmaking course. Listening to my classmates’ goals, I felt like a pirate on land. My goals aren’t anything cool. I wish I could be brave and do something about it, but I’m stuck in a moment. If I was younger, I could start all over again. I feel like a loser compared to my classmates. They weren’t interested in me anyway. Maybe I’m a boring person or something. They were friendly to me, but only a ship passed by. Or a pirate ship, arrr. I was sad when they didn’t even ask if I wanted to accompany them after the day. I wouldn’t have gone anyway, but it would have been nice to be asked. They probably wouldn’t even hear me or even care. I won’t see them again, so it’s bygone.

My goal wasn’t to get into the movie business. It was only something I was interested in. Education is never wrong. Getting into a film school is too complicated. I don’t want to study for several years. Maybe the diploma is not a big deal for others, but I’m glad I went. Dreams and goals are two different things. I don’t plan goals too far ahead because my mind is indecisive. Big goals have never come true, so I have small goals. It won’t dream big either for the same reasons. This filmmaking diploma is a completed goal. I finished all the assignments on time, and I took part in every school day. Here’s another feather in my pirate hat.

Diploma

My next goal begins in October when I start an education about digital marketing. I hope to find something else to do too, but that’s uncertain. I don’t feel optimistic about getting a job. Even internships are hard to find. No one is looking for one, it seems. My goals and dreams are dashed once again. But you manage somehow because you’ll be wasting your life if you give up. If people gave up their dreams and goals, many things wouldn’t happen. You need to keep the faith.
