all you're life you've been told that writing wouldn't be a stable job. when you were a kid and you were passionate and you had hopes, you were told that you could never make it as a writer. whether it was subtly, or blunt, you were told that writers and authours would die on the street. you were told that writing was not a possible career option.
and you internalized it. you internalized the fact that authours die on the street. the one and only thing you had passion for, flowing through your fingers as you passed the pages in novels and explored your vocabulary and spun worlds in your head. you were told that reading and writing would never make you money. never get you a job. never make you happy.
and so your life revolves around this concept: money. you budget your happiness as promises for achieving. for reaching certain marks. and slowly the worlds which form in your head melt away.
and you lose yourself.
