Creativity Reboot

This is a post I am forcing myself to write. For months I have put off even the slightest hints of creativity, and for me, my main outlet of expression is written work. Hence the reason I studied journalism. 

Getting myself out there was hard after graduating, and felt as if all my hard work I put into college was for nothing. No job or even a remote start in the field I have been interested in since I was young. I was applying for jobs left, right and centre. Managed to bag a few interviews, one in London for Reveal Magazine, which sparked some major excitement that the ball was rolling. That I was going to be able to do a job I had a true passion for.

After getting rejections, due to experience or “lack” there of , or just no response. I was starting to slowly giving up hope and my passion was beginning to exhaust, if I’m being brutally honest. I stopped applying for journalistic roles as I wanted to save myself the disappointment of a rejection email, due to the fact I was a recent graduate with barely any experience but had the grades. I wanted someone to look at my CV and think, let’s take a chance on her, rather than go for the usual suspect. But that didn’t happen, and it took me time to accept this, at first thinking it was all a personal attack, no-one wants young graduates. 

However, that never happened. I’m currently working full time for a great company but there isn’t enough lee-way to get creative again being 9-5. So, I completely gave up even the thought of sitting down and writing.  I have decided that I’ve had my time to slump and spit my dummy out the pram with the journalism industry and feel now more determined than ever to make something for myself. I think that is where the shift lies for me. I no longer want to grudge and go through upsets because I have my heart set on one kind of job role. 

I still have goals yes, who wouldn’t want to say they worked for one of the leading glossy mags in the UK? Alas, I want to be hired, believed in and trusted with my skills and be able to put my absolute heart and soul into what I have a true passion for.  This lies primarily in fashion and of course writing, a touch of feature writing really pleases me and soothes my soul. 

I feel that now I’m ready and prepared to do this for myself. Not for those who i feel are judging or watching from the sides as they have become successful quicker than myself. I’ve learned to understand that I am still so young and have so much time to figure life out and what I want to gain from it. 

So, here we are, day one, post one. Next chapter is coming.
