I’ve tried to conjure up the courage to write this post for
about a two months now. Although the idea was there, I could not form the
words. My ability to confront failure was at an all time high. This summer I
was supposed to be grabbing someone’s morning coffee, typing meeting notes, and
loosing myself in a city filled with potential.
Feeling heartbreak and disappointment are an unfortunate
part of life. This summer my heart was broken by the passion that fuels my
biggest dreams. I ended my internship this summer early after a handful of
disastrous events. Although lacking experience in the fashion world, I knew
that many of the tasks that were being asked of me were not in my best
interest. After being stood up, I packed my car and headed back to Wyoming’s
traffic free roads. Words cannot sum up my disappointment in the experience and
opportunity that caused so much stress in my life during the month of June.
Thankfully, I was surround by loads of supportive and understanding people who
made the bad experience better.
After this experience it made me question my plans after I
graduate. This summer gave me time to reflect on what I really wanted to do and
where I wanted to be. Planning my future has been obsession. But honestly, right now, I could not tell you
what the next year has in store for me. Not knowing what I might be doing a
year from now is uncomforting but, the suspense of not knowing keeps me on my
toes.
Tbh I’m trying to look like I have it together, but I really
don’t.
Wishing you free food and good hair days.
You're going to do great things Alex! Keep your head up because you have so much ahead of you.
