Dear Diary...

Young, hopeful, imaginative and daring, sometimes. Depending if I'm in a good mood or not. I have been a fan of creative writing for years and was constantly told by my family, guidance counsellors and straight up random people I met at work, that my dream of being an author or journalist was ridiculous and I'd never make it. They all gave my the same arguments as to why this was.

One, there wasn't a large need for writers anymore due to our advancement in technology. "Everything is on the internet now." Okay, last I checked AI wasn't taking our jobs just yet.

Two, "you don't have the grades for it hun." Like adding that extra "hun" at the end made a difference in the overall offensive comment. Sure I'm not exactly the best at science or mathematics and there are people who are definitely way better than I in that field. But I'm fond of writing! Not academic math. I know that I do need some level of this stuff for any career but I know this.

Three, they just don't have any faith in me. Thanks guys.

I want to prove them wrong, I want to show up all the people who didn't bother reading or looking at what I have created solely with my imagination. People judge and they have no idea what I can do. I'm not saying I'm the next Stephen King or J.K Rowling. I'm an average person with an average life, with a sprinkle of spice on top. Like anyone else I have a passion, I simply take that passion further in hopes it can someday, be a possible future career. Help me achieve my goal in showing the world what I can do. Or simply read my works, I may be giving myself too much credit. If so give me feedback! I want to become a better writer above all.
