God, the way you crawl into my brain and borrow my thoughts. I used to wear my dreams out on my sleeve and then it hurt too much having to tell people over and over that no, actually that one had failed to happen. It also became embarrassing after a while. I say I want to be a writer and these perfect strangers I work with say “but you need to make money” as if I’m a child that needs to be gently told that Santa Claus doesn’t exist and never has.
Personally, I believe you can be a writer, because your writing already has that quality that makes people stop and pay attention. This piece made me feel something - which is exactly what good writing is supposed to do.
And what does it mean to live as a writer today anyway? The landscape is changing completely.

I think we’ll prove them wrong though <3
Absolutely! The only people whose dreams don't come true are those who don't dream at all.
