The Page Series: Number One "I am a Writer"

"I am a Writer"

These are the words that I tell myself on a regular basis. Even when I'm sitting on my ass pondering about how to function in the reality that is adulthood. As a recent college graduate, I'm struggling to find jobs that are related to my choice of lifestyles. I want to be a published author, I want to educated others to take on the world with a smile and stories that only exist in our heads, I want to make a difference. However, I'm by no means a teacher. I went to school to be an writer to only get an idea that I have a potential be a teacher instead of living in the multiple world of fantasies that I created. You don't have to have a English literature degree to be a writer by the way. You can be a lawyer, a homemaker, a gym coach and still write a damn book. But, I chose the lather and decided to be a wanderer. I'm a English Literature graduate, aiming to write a best seller as I write this to you. But, I have little to no confidence at times.

When things go down in the shitter, I'm hiding in a corner afraid to put myself out there. I can talk a hell of a game with my writing and inform people that I am a writer. But, I'm not a published one yet. I'm working when I'm doing realistic things like saving money, attempting a lame social life, work. Yet at the same time, I'm regretting my choices of not be more courageous with my writing and sharing it to you all. At this time, it's okay to not show your work if you are not ready. Just know that you'll have that spark to keep edging on even when scare.

As of right now, I'm making this pledge to state that I am a writer to you all and while I don't always show my works or talk about it every single day; I have to prove it by revealing myself as a writer. This is only the beginning, however, I've been around for a while now in silence. I've been observing the area and I believe that I will hit the milestones to become a writer in the future. I want you all to feel the same way, even if you are afraid to speak out, even if you are not ready to be the artist that you are. You are still a beautiful artist. You don't have to be published or well known to the oddity that is the public. If you think and feel that you are a writer, musician, painter- anything within the status of an artist. Then you are one. Got it? Don't let others fool you, be yourself and kick some ass with your art. Okay?

Good. Now, repeat after me, "I AM A WRITER."

"I AM AN ARTIST."

"I AM ME.."

See you guys next Friday when we discuss the start of forming our world that we want molded into books. Happy howling<3
