Where's My Future?
Wednesday, 25 February 2009
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I'll have to give you the same answer as I did when I was a child: I do not know.
There is a slight difference, though. I am now nearly twenty years old, yet still stumbling about in the dark; I'm still hoping to find that torch which will burn bright and reveal my path.
Journalism is the obvious choice, and I have been keen on it. The talent's there. It's inside me, just obscured by the misty haze of my own indecisiveness. If only there was an end goal to use as a focus.
I'm left feeling like a pyramid without a top. All this time is spent building and building, but what to? The News and Star? Recycling press releases scrawled by the office printer into 'stories'? I'll pass.
Where is the drama and adventure? I don't want my most important diary date to be the mayor's tea party.
Writing about video games was another plan, but the industry is in a state. There are no journalists who write about video games, save for the few who produce Edge. Picking up a scalpel doesn't make you a surgeon; using a pen doesn't make you a journalist.
There is something out there though -- for everyone. Ah, maybe I am just a bit weary today. I'll have to ask Helen for some of her advice.
Wishing you well,
Adam xoxo
