You get to do all.
I wanted to be a magician. I found an old book with magic tricks and I locked myself down practicing. Then, I presented the tricks to my family.
I wanted to be a writer. I started writing stories, but I never finished them.
I wanted to be a skater. Ok, not exactly a skater, but I wanted to do tricks. I spent dozens of hours trying to replicate skater tricks on Youtube. Damn me for never pulling out an ollie.
I wanted to make videos. My best friend and I started a Youtube channel about makeup.
I wanted to be an English teacher. My mum is one, and I always loved the English language.
I wanted to be an SEO expert. This was when things started to get weird. Why was I learning SEO with 13 years old?
I wanted to be a photographer. I was 14 when I first bought a $300 Nikon. Every photo looked so good, compared to mobile ones. I was the photographer at my friends’ birthdays. Later, I started a project with my friend Laura, where we took photos of windows. It is still online.
I wanted to be a freelancer. I offered services on Fiverr.com at 15 years old.
When I hear the "find your passion" advice, I freak out. I do understand it works with a lot of people. Stick to your thing, be the best, make a living doing what you love. Great.
But what about people like me? Like us, maybe? Are we supposed to pick just one?
You get to do both. Actually, you get to do all.
