Graduated College With a Degree You Aren't Truly Passionate About? Realize You Want to Go After

How many of you #collegegraduates realized there was no sense of enjoyment, no sense of purpose at your 9-5 job regardless of your pay? (#Whew Thank God I’m not the only one). You go to college for four years to be later than kicked out and pushed into the real world unaware of the emotional aftermath of post-graduate life. Bills + being underpaid + emotionally drained. After some time to think and breathe being away from a work environment that gave me no pleasure or sense of self-growth allowed me to put life in perspective and where I pictured myself in a year’s time. You can never be prepared for the way life unfolds, so whatever chooses to show up is meant to affect your future purposefully. It’s up to you on how you choose to react to it. (Don’t overthink about whatever comes, just hang tight knowing that you can face it all).

There are too many “wtf moments” after not working for some time that it becomes bizarre. You think I have all this downtime, how am I going to use this to my advantage? Did my future just get flushed down the toilet in an instant since I’m not working? What am I going to do when I can’t find another job in time to financially sustain me? How am I going to quote-on-quote “make it” with what’s transpiring in my head? Are people taking me seriously? Yes, I have ideas, and I have some understanding as to what I want to bring to existence, I just don’t know where to start? HEY! That’s okay. Life has no handbook to turn to once things become unsolvable. Give it time.

That being said, I would love to link with other college graduates who are currently/have also gone through these same post-graduate experiences and want to openly and freely express their thoughts, feelings and give advice. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy in the midst of our situational trials. (Relax! Everything will work out.) I choose to accept where I am knowing that these struggles can’t compare to how bright and far “OUR” future is. I may not have it all together. Shit, no one does… but I do have self-awareness of how talented, intelligent, creative and intuitive I am. (And so are YOU). I proclaim greatness, hope, and strength to you at this moment in your life. Something amazing is manifesting. Keep #glowin’ and keep #grindin'.

Til next time,

XO- Brit
