Day 1 without a job

I am a 23 year old (soon to be 24 year old) brown skinned person who feels just a little bit lost right now. I live in London with my parents and today is my first day in a long while, without a job.

For the last three years I have been certain that I want to be a journalist. I think I have been relatively successful so far? But with the world under lockdown, the news simply feels too overwhelming right now: Covid-19 continues to decimate populations, there isn’t enough testing and a vaccine isn't coming anytime soon. And so I find myself ignoring the news completely.

So with all my newfound free time, I want to write for myself. But publicly? I am a journalist by training after all.

I am going to try and write in this blog everyday for the remainder of the lockdown. I will limit myself to 250 words to make it easy as possible for myself.

I will not tell my friends about the existence of this blog until I have kept it up for at least two weeks. This way they'll actually have something to read if they ever click on it! 

This blog will hopefully be a small insight into the life of a young brown Londoner trying to figure out his future. I will write about my friends, family and whatever else pops into my head

Hope you enjoy!
