I’ve been asking myself this question a great deal lately. I’m getting old. It’s what old people think about isn’t it?
But it’s more than that.
I’m searching for that perfect way to explain who I am and what I do and what I want and it seems to be eluding me.
But here’s what I do know …
- I’ve got mounds of talent. From writing to photography to digital marketing. I’ve done it all and I’ve rocked every bit of it.
- I’m the hardest worker that ever worked. It’s true. I’ve been told it. And if you’ve been told something it must be true or else why would anyone bother telling you something like that?
- I’m obsessed with digital marketing. Have been since back in the day when I was coding my own MySpace pages. I always had the perfect backgrounds and I knew how to show off who I was!
- I’m a geek for photography. When I grow up … some far far day in the future … I want to be just like Alexia Sinclair. I think I may need a better camera first. But those are just details.
- I love to write. There was a day when that was all I did. I wrote books and I self published them and for one shining day I was at the top of the Amazon page and it was glorious. But I don’t write for glory. I write because it fills my heart with joy. I’ve got loads of stories in this head and I won’t stop sharing them until they’ve all been properly written (and edited …)!
There are other things of course. I mean I’m a mother, sister, daughter, wife, etc. But those aren’t the things that define who I am as a person.
I went to school for one sole purpose … to advance my career and become a somebody.
Everyone wants to be a somebody, don’t they?
Am I a somebody yet? Not quite …
But there’s still loads of time and I won’t stop till I’ve achieved my goal. I’ll keep searching for that perfect job. I’ll keep writing. I’ll keep taking pictures, even if they are just of my children. And I will keep studying the world of digital marketing until I know it back to front.
Because there is one thing I am NOT … a quitter.
So who am I even. Well I’m a winner.
I’m the winniest winner that ever winned. And even when I thought I was failing … I was merely taking a pause and getting better and winning in the way that winners do, through trial and error.
And I’ll keep on winning. One way or another, I’ll keep working at it until one day … one shining beautiful day … I too am a somebody!
