Turning 28

I used to be a dreamer. I wanted to be a musician, a writer, a photographer, an artist, a church worker, and a business owner. But now I'm 28, and I barely have the skills I needed to be what I wanted to be.

I was rejected to my dream company, I did not accept an offer from the biggest media company in our country because the starting salary won't pay my bills, and I settle on things that I never wanted.

I think the magic of being a kid is having the courage
on making a big dream. It's just hard when you're old and you no longer care if you'll disappoint other people. I'm afraid to disappoint myself.

There is still a lot of time in life for you. Everything happens for a reason and the turn in life shall come when it's due. Don't let your frustrations and disappointments of your past dreams affect your future. Start dreaming afresh with your experience in life. Like for instance you can still be a business owner by partnering with someone without giving up your job, and develop the business part time.

So start finding ways to realise your dreams. Doing something about everything that you want to, is real experience.
