Resolution to myself

Hello, Medium! This is my first ever blog post and it feels both scary and exciting at the same time. I’ve got to admit, it’s a good feeling, definitely not bad.

I will start with something weird to say out loud and something hard to admit: I am not completely happy with my life. And guess what? I am about to change it.

One of the main reasons is very simple — I am not doing what I like and despite the fact that my work is not so bad, that’s still not what I want to do in my life, that’s not what I am passionate about. My true passion is graphic design and I set my goals straight for the year 2017: I’m gonna become a professional designer and will get involved in real project. Commercials or not — it doesn’t actually matters, cause my main point is getting experience and doing one of my favorite things in life — designing.

As of now, I have a tiny portfolio that I’m too ashamed to showcase and 0 experience with real projects, so it’s gonna be tough. 2017, give me some luck and I will work on getting my ass out there and working as hard as I can.

The reason I started this blog is simple — I want to have a place where I’ll have to report on my wins and loses while making it to the top. To be honest with you, I am not waiting to see hundreds of people following me or reading my blogs, but your attention to my challenge will be highly appreciated by a simple man with a dream (that’s me!).

Why do I call it challenge? Let’s face it — it is. I want to achieve in a year something I couldn’t achieve for a long time due to my laziness and procrastination. But not this time, fellas, you will not get me this time!

And yeah, thanks a lot for the inspiration, @CaseyNeistat and @jackycoyne

I will report every week on my progress. Let the journey begin!
