How I Fell in Love with My Career Again
And found a better me in between
When I was a kid, I dreamed of being many things. I wanted to be a physician, then a veterinary, criminologist, quantum physicist, professional tennis player, mechanical engineer and many more that I can’t remember.
But I never thought of graphic design or writing.
I didn’t know what I liked nor what I wanted to do. All I knew is that I had to please the image of the person that I was supposed to be (the expectations that others had from me) and went to college to study engineering.
After three years of battling with it, I decided to study graphic design. It was the first decision that I made just by myself, and I was thrilled with it at that time.
Ten years later, I would be struggling with my job every time I was in front of the screen. My specialty (branding) was what I hated the most, but generally speaking, there was nothing that I liked.
One day I was done with it, just like when I quit engineering and fell in love with graphic design. I decided that I was not going to spend the next twenty years trying so hard to like it, six years was enough.
I quit my biggest clients and my business partners and stopped taking new projects.
