What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?

Which I am.
I never really wanted a career, or to work. It’s not that I’m lazy it’s just that I didn’t have time to find out who I was.
At 16 I was looking forward to my O’Levels, then A’Levels, then university. I came home one day to find out I had a job interview in London for something I’d never heard of, and I would be leaving school. My heart broke, my world was shattered, and I was too young and naive to think anything other than my life was ruined. It was awful.
I just did as I was told, I had no choice, and I was stuck from then on. I did eventually get two degrees, but through an unfortunate set of circumstances I had to return to my work in admin. All that work to land up back where I started with two useless bits of paper.
I was only ever interested in writing, and the good news is that I can do that for as long as I like! You’re never too old.

It’s so easy to let the ideas and thoughts of others take over your life, but nowadays we are a lot more aware. We know this shouldn’t happen. I was raised when you did as you were told or else.
So if you do feel pushed into something you don’t want. Pack a bag, take yourself away on your own or to a friend’s, and stop and think.
Then when you know what you want, go for it. Only you can stop you.
Best love
