Going out and talking a walk is usually the best way to clear my mind. I tend to come to this place sometimes, or just anywhere where you can be near the Thames. There's something quite refreshing about it that allows me to think clearly and sort myself out when there's a lot of things running around in my mind. And it's always a great opportunity to take photos of your surroundings.
At the beginning of the year, I set myself a goal to get a job at the end of January. And with the money I was going to receive, I would be able to afford things that would enable me to do what I love the most from photography, filming, art, travelling etc. I also wanted to help my family and support charities/ humanitarian organisation. You can call this a New Years resolution.
It's always said when things aren't going the way you want. It's now the middle of March, and I still don't have a job. I'm not going to lie, I've been a bit picky. I've been trying to get a cinema specifically because well, it's the cinema- and for me, it would be my current dream job. After having been rejected twice by my local cinema, I, no doubt, was left super upset. I think it's even worse because I nearly got a job at another cinema, but I couldn't attend the training because it was during school hours, and they didn't want to change the training dates, because well I was one out of a 100 applicants - losing one wasn't going to affect them, they had a lot of people already.
I learned that when your desperate, being picky isn't an option. I need to have a more open minded approach to my job search, and remember that it's only temporary. I guess I wanted to do something I knew I would enjoy. But I'm going to keep trying.
Anyways, I'm not too sure why I'm sharing this, it's kind of petty I guess, but the message is to prioritise. What you need should come before what you want. And also, have perseverance, you may not love the route your taking to get to a better place, but if it's tolerable and endurable, just push yourself. It's all temporary.
