Note to reader: The following post is ONLY about me talking about myself and my own personal thoughts/feelings about where I am trying to get to professionally/career wise. As always I ONLY speak for myself and never anyone else who might have a disability.
Dear reader I originally posted this on my personal FB page to explain more of what I am trying to do professionally to my family and friends so the majority of this stuff you will already know if you have been around on this journey with me for awhile however I still want to save my thoughts on this topic on here as well just to have it to look back on in the future.
My hard work is finally starting to pay off, I am still just getting started but it took years for me to finally accept that I deserve a chance at career, I thought it always had to be something like greeting people at a store or stocking shelves(obviously ones that I could physically reach) I didn’t really understand that I could still write/review books/and talk to people to cheer them up via social media without having to go to school.
I have done this from my bed in my room. My dad has been an amazing encouragement to go for it even when I wasn’t sure. He always says “the worse they can say is no”. I am also working on ways to become more involved in journalism which has always been a passion of mine. It doesn’t seem so far away now that bloggers are getting opportunities to do it.
I used to think that my dreams for a career would only be valid once I got paid for them, now I know that the money will come in time I just have to keep at it and wait for things that match with what I can actually do plus my integrity(I have had to turn down things where I would have had to lie or compete unfairly with others) I want to know that I made it because my words stood for themselves and that I didn’t have to climb over anyone to get there.
Taking to you again dear reader none of this world even be possible without your support and backup(540 people as of right now following this blog and helping people to see that people will listen to me, people don’t tend to give you book reviews/opportunities unless they think that doing so will help them to get some level of exposure to their respective books/products/or site) I am not trying to make anyone feel sorry for me but I’m not really used to having people listen to me without the “o look it’s the cute girl in a chair I wonder what she’s saying” or “I feel sorry for her let’s listen to her” and with this blog I don’t feel like I am just being listened to out of pity I feel like you actually care about me and my journey/opinions on a human level which I will always be thankful for.
I can’t wait to see where we go next ♡.
