Hi everyone! if there’s anyone still keeping up with me, that is. haha!
It’s been a minute, I know. But I’ve been trying to figure things out.
This isn’t a book review and there may not be consistent book reviews on this blog.. and that’s okay. Sometimes I wanna review books and sometimes I just wanna talk.
If the ”life update” or ”personal” type posts aren’t your cup of tea, that’s absolutely okay! Not everything is for everyone.
Like I said, I’ve been trying to figure things out. More importantly, my future.
For a long time I thought I didn’t know what I wanted out of life. But this year I’ve realized that that’s not the case.
I love reading, writing, music, going to concerts, events, promoting hard working people, and just anything creative, really.
So recently I made the brash decision to register into University in order to pursue a degree in Creative Writing & English!
I’m not one to pick up the phone and take the initiative, especially when it comes to speaking to absolute strangers (it really depends though) but, I did it. And I got in!
So if everything goes smoothly in 4 years time, I will have a bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing & English (with Fiction Writing as my concentration).
As for music, I plan on pursuing a degree (maybe a Bachelors or Masters) in Music Management, specializing in promotion.
For the longest time I participated in street teams, talked about my favorite artists on social media, followed my faves to the every corner of the world in order to experience things I could’ve only imagined. And I love it so I thought, ‘why am I not pursuing this if I can?’
If I have the opportunity to have a flourishing career, whether its writing on the side or creating my own publishing company and doing artist promotion/marketing as a full time job or vice versa, why wouldn’t I at least try? Maybe it’ll be more than I can chew but maybe it won’t be!
For a while I felt stuck. At a standstill. Like I didn’t know where my life was headed. Until I realized that I was at a standstill out of fear.
Writing and music related jobs don’t have the track record for being the most consistent jobs on the planet and I think that part was what was holding me back, aside from my kind of shy nature.
I was feeling very discouraged and insecure about my passions and whether or not I had the power to allow those passions to flourish.
But for the first time in a long time, I’m excited for the future that I’m creating for myself and I have myself to thank along with my super supportive mom and friends who always encourage and support me to go after the things I love. I know that that’s unfortunately not the reality for many people, but I’m so grateful that is for me!
I’m so glad my stubborn ass listened to them for once and I got out of my comfort zone and took the steps I needed to take in order to create the life I want for myself.
As for this blog, I fully intend to continue posting consistently whether it’s book reviews or just talking to you guys.
Follow along in my journey if you so wish..
xoxo, Gigi. 💋
