Throughout your life you have to make some Tough Decisions involving around your personal life and professional life which never gets any easier. I thought as I grew up I thought I would have everything planned out knowing what career to choose, how many kids I wanted and so on, but now I have come to the end of my university course I need to start making some tough decisions. Why does growing up have to be so hard? Honestly as much as I hated school everything was so much simpler back then when you didn't need money to have the amenities in life.
I've always wanted to go into performing arts and everyone that knows me personally has always known it's my dream. However as a kid I didn't realise I picked the hardest career to go into, it is a constant competition on your technique, figure, look, style, all to get the job or gain fame. Obviously I have had my fair share of rejections at auditions and being the girl in the back row, so I guess I've started developing the tough skin you need for this business. I have been training since I was 3 years old and since going into full time training I have always had a part-time job on the side which never allowed me to have access to doing classes at the likes of Pineapple dance studios etc, as my spare time was being used up at my job.
So this is where majority of young adult's problems start to form....money. Since Leaving university I decided to take up a contract working full time in London for 3 months as my original plan was to do my last year starting in September. However plans have changed. I’ve been dragged into the money game and I love the freedom of actually having my own money which is a major issue if I decided to go back to university. So now it’s a choice of carrying on working full time or try and kick start my performing career?
Right now I have so many opportunities’ knocking at my door I have no clue what path I should take. I would love to be able to work in America for a year or even go touring over there but I think that dream isn’t going to be achieved any time soon unfortunately. I know I am only young but I feel like there is a lot of pressure to know what I want in life and if I do not take one of the opportunities will I regret it later on?
So if you are sitting at home in the same situation as me at least you know that you are not alone and I am sure there are dozens of people in the same situation. I know it will all fall into place one day but getting there will not be easy as I am sure everyone’s journey hasn’t been handed to them on a plate. Remember to always follow your dreams and do what makes you happy, thank you for reading 💛xx
