I am writing to you today feeling a little bit sorry for myself. My ankle and calves have decided to cramp up whenever I walk and my stomach isn't feeling too great, either. I could usually cope with these things if I wasn't going away next week but I am and so the excitement that I've been feeling since January is now overshadowed by pain. But enough of my moaning, I have a blog to write!
Speaking of excitement, I thought that might be a good place to start for my first post. As someone who is just starting out in the grown up world of work and who has dreams of being a writer, I feel that excitement is vital to my success. I can be one of the most excitable people I know at times; whenever I'm about to go on holiday or even just go on a night out I am usually the one with biggest, cheesiest smile who is jumping up and down. Just in case you think I might be overly annoying, I can assure you that I have a nasty, cynical side, too. Anyway, I think a lot of people lack excitement or passion in their lives, particularly as they delve in to this world of work. I am not claiming to be an expert in this but from my own experiences it does seem pretty easy to fall in to a monotonous trap and end up hating the job you do. As most people my age I am praying that this doesn't happen to me but I'm not Mystic Meg so who knows what will happen? I like to think that my excitement over sitting down and writing or spending my time doing anything creative is what will continue to drive me forward in my career. If I am genuinely passionate about a project I try to throw myself in to it and get as involved as I can because how else am I going to experience the world if I don't embrace it? I don't mean to sound like a rubbish motivational speaker or come across as self righteous (those kinds of people tick me off no end) but I would like to spread the message that getting excited about something is cool and could help you in the long run. I'll check this post back in ten years time and see if I'm as chirpy then!
