Interior Designer

I've already talked about my thoughts about a writing career; let's talk about the other careers that as a kid flashed through my mind.

Interior Designer- I had a really crafty phase when I was a teenager (I guess I still am, 19, but you know what I mean: younger). I loved doing crafts and making DIYs.

I also loved decorating, creating an atmosphere/space, so that I would always love being in my room. A room, you should want to be in. You should love being in there, love the mood when you're in it, and look forward to going inside it. Like imagine coming home from school, it should be a happy and pleasant feeling.

And I always had a really pretty room because of this.

I was also really detail-oriented, and gladly spent hours planning out every inch of my room, every detail, every decoration...

But ultimately, this was just a hobby. There was so much more I wanted out of life. I could sacrifice having a pretty room or even house; having a plain, ugly house with plain, ugly rooms if I for some reason had to make this sacrifice...I could live with it and let it be...but I couldn't sacrifice my other dreams that have stronger desire.

But I do miss my crafty side and phase, oh it was such a phase...

I even wanted to bring it back somehow, in university.

An opportunity came. There was crafting in my dorm, students were able to come and pick up all types of scraps from this semester's past and the previous's semester's flyers. There were also scissors. I think there was glitter...

My friend went with me, we walked down the hall and down the stairs, then turned left...she barely looked, then sat on the couch and looked at me as if I was crazy as I sifted through each and every flyer...because in this crafting and art world...there is no wrong, ugly, flyer...or something that can't be used...On the contrary, everything can be used, and you just have to be creative and different enough to think and to see it, and to have a vision.

You can't be afraid to have a different vision than somebody else and be judged.

Ultimately, like I said I

1. realized I had other bigger dreams, this was an idea, a foolish one to be

2. merely a hobby

3. didn't actually care that much for it; wasn't ultimately that important

4. it's also a lot of math, and not designing, and now since I've always been a STEM girl I probably would just prefer the math.

5. but I'd want to do something bigger, better, and more important anyway.

And for what it's worth, I can literally be an interior designer, my own interior designer, with my own house, just as I have done with Writer.
