I am finally starting to realize what it is that I want to pursue. Today, I have an interview with County Lines magazine for their editorial internship position next semester. It surprised me to hear back from them so quickly since I just applied Thursday evening, but I'm certainly not complaining. It was a relief to finally narrow down what it is that I am looking for and what direction I want to start moving in. I am excited by the idea of working with County Lines, and I do hope everything works out. If it doesn't work out with this particular magazine, though, that's perfectly okay--I refuse to be discouraged. I refuse to sit back and let my life be decided for me, and I am going to stay proactive and continue going after what it is I want until I get it.
Even if I am given an editorial internship position and decide editing/working with a magazine is not for me, the internship will still be a success. I just needed to make a decision and start moving in some direction so that I can figure out what is and isn't for me. There is no shame in working temporarily in a field that isn't a good fit for you. In fact, it's the best way for you to discover what IS for you.
I am feeling really good about all of this. You just gotta go for what you want and let it all play out. So here goes nothing!
