Misfitting
You have to fit in what is secure and normal.
You know: career and job for life.
Civil servant.
I don’t know if it was to fit in or to go with the flow that I finished a degree and two masters.
And then?
Then I worked. As a civil servant.
And then?
Then I got fed up, or tired of it, which sounds more refined.
And I changed country. And language. And profession.
And I made sure that civil servant jobs are for civil servants.
I was something else.
As you can see, I have been confused or rather obsessed with having a permanent job and the security and depression that comes afterwards for having wasted your life.
The fact is that I said no. No to everything.
And here I am. In a country where every time it’s sunny, it’s in the newspapers.
Copywriter?
I should be teaching right now.
Plot twist.
I listened to the little voice inside me that told me: that’s the wrong way to go.
If this is important to you: you should know that I don’t have a degree that says I’m a copywriter.
I have other titles that say I am other things I don’t want to be.
But to be what I am now, I’ve trained myself.
I have invested a lot of everything learning what I didn’t know and daring what I didn’t dare. And reading and applying and trying and improving. Always.
So now I am not a civil servant, but I serve much better.
I work so that people like you, in their texts, websites, emails, advertisements, communicate what they want to communicate and that this has a close relationship with the health of their business.
A business that knows how to communicate is a healthy business.
