Job for Life

Choosing a career path and the right job is like getting married. At first, you’ve got lots of choices – till you find ‘the one’ and you go completely head over heels. You fall in love, you fall hard – it’s crazy. You’re happy with it, you think about it 24/7, you picture yourself doing it for the rest of your life (at least idealistically – or for a very long time). You commit fully, you give time and exert utmost effort – of course, and you work hard just to make it work. Challenges spice it up; it gets boring and routinary at some point, but passion keeps you going. It’s an unending learning process; a give and take/love-hate relationship.

A year ago, ‘twas love rekindled. It took me by surprise that my childhood sweetheart has captured my heart once again, my young dream knocking once more – WRITING. But it’s different this time, like getting to know a stranger. As I try to work my way through, I discovered the little things that I unintentionally and unconsciously grew to love. The rigorous process made me realize that I wasn’t just doing it for the sake - I was doing it out of love. Passion fueled my weary heart and mind to push harder, despite my doubts and fears. I was ever ready to give my all; I knew then that I’ve fallen for writing – IT WAS LOVE. I woke up with a smile on my face, and ended the day with the same expression. I finally found what I’ve been looking for, what I wanted for the rest of my life.

A year apart, full of temptation and distraction, still this heart only beats for you. Nothing else can trigger the same monster mix of emotions. Copywriting, I am all yours. And I quote, “I think wanna marry you”. I’m ready to take the crazy world of advertising with you. J
