Why I Can Be Anything

It may be difficult, but it is not impossible.

Why I Can Be Anything
Empowermint Blog

Remember when you were a little kid, and everyday you would imagine yourself to be something different from the last? I remember that one day I would imagine myself as a doctor, then the next as a rock star. I had even tried to be a chef one day. My family encouraged me to play pretend because they knew that one day it would not be pretend anymore. However, now that I am a young adult, deciding on what I want to be has become difficult. I thought I wanted to be a writer. I still do, but I do not want it to stop there.

Out of nowhere I have come to the realization that I have a passion for cooking. It was always a hobby of mine. You could find me sitting on my phone for hours looking at Tastemade videos on Facebook. I did not know that I could actually become a chef, let alone go to school and study the art of food. This confused me. My entire life I have been set on becoming a writer, and once I announced that I want to go into culinary school the first thing people ask is: "How are you going to write?," "You won't have time to write books." I asked them, "Why can't I do both?"

There is this misconception that once you pick a career, you can only do that one career because it is impossible to do more than one. It may be difficult, but it is not impossible.

I love food and I love writing. So, with long consideration and research, I have come to the decision of me becoming a food blogger/journalist.

People should not be limited to just one career. If you are passionate about something, go out and experience it and achieve it. Do not let people stop you from doing what you want to do just because it is not normal.

You can be anything you want because you can achieve anything.

I do not want to be in my fifties regretting that I did not open up that restaurant I always dreamed about and you should not either.

I'm going to become a food blogger and I'm going to be the best food blogger that this world has ever seen. Why? Because I can, and I will.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
