I have one dream in life, something I have wanted since I was little.
I want to be a writer. I am sick of working menial jobs to get by, I am sick of going in to work every day and knowing it is not what I want to do, I am sick of wasting the day away to pay the bills and not having energy left to do what I love. I want to write for a living. I want to get paid for doing what I love.
I want to write a novel. That is something I have wanted to do since I was 12. I am currently working on that. I would love to see my name on the spine of a book on a shelf one day. I would also love to write for a soap opera. I have grown up watching soaps my entire life. I can predict storylines before they unfold, I know the characters as well if not better than my own family, and it is something I would really enjoy, I would love to break into the world television writing.
I realize that these are not simple goals, and that I may never come close to achieving them, but I have to try. I realize it is not an easy road, and most people don't make it, but I have to chase my dream, I will never know if I could have done it if I don't try and try again.
I may be a horrible writer, but I love to do it. I may get rejected a thousand times, but I will not look back in regret and wonder what might have happened if I'd only pursued my dream. I may not have any talent or potential in the end, but at least I walked the path and found out where it lead.
