BNHA Spring Break: Vacation

It’s TIME!! I just think they should get a vacation somewhere warm aha

In October of 2016, the company I worked for rescinded my satellite contract and terminated my 40k per year career position two weeks before my wedding. I was 31 years old, 350 miles away from the town I grew up in, just about to embark on a new chapter of my life, and I was suddenly jobless. And apart from hospitality and tourism, the local hiring market was pretty much nonexistent.

So, after some discussion with my husband (always discuss important decisions with your SO, communication is vital), I decided to lean on my unemployment for a while and see what I could do with my true passion in life: writing. I made that my fulltime occupation for the next six months, just to see if I could make a go of it.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make enough on writing alone to pay the bills, but you what DID happen?

I published my first book. And then my second. And a few months later, after I’d returned to the workforce, I published a third. Granted, the second was a 2nd Edition, and the third was half repurposed material from a scrapped project, but I still managed to become a published author.

More than that, I started to take myself and my writing more seriously. I could see my work actively making an impact, and I started to think of all the ways I could expand on that.

Sometimes when one door closes, another one opens. Sometimes, you have to go knocking. And sometimes, well hell, you just have to kick one in.

So here we are in 2021. I am 37 years old. I still have a day job. But I’m still writing. I have three titles to my name with more on the way, plus a solid web presence and an increasingly-popular podcast, and I’ve attended community events where I am a recognized figure.

And if I hadn’t lost my job in 2016, there’s a good chance that none of this would have happened. I still had to work hard. Still had to get on that grind and push myself. But I had to lose that job to find my motivation and re-evaluate my purpose and have the opportunity to make it happen.

So please believe me when I say that life doesn’t end at 30. Don’t feel rushed to achieve all your goals by the time you hit 29. Your dreams do not have expiration dates. You may not get all the way there in the time frame you expect, but you won’t ever know if you give up too early.
