Dreams

I’ve always dreamt of being a Publicist and Graphic Designer.  I went to school for 4.5 years in pursuit of this dream. Now I am here; 4 months post-grad and debating what if I should go back to school for Accounting or Counseling. What. The. Hell. I’m not meant to be an accountant. Or a teacher. Or a counselor. So what the hell am I doing, right? All my life I’ve known that I was meant to be a Publicist and Graphic Designer. After a much needed wake up call, I have come to the conclusion that I am afraid to succeed and actually live my dreams. This fear is multiplied by the fact that I feel I am not qualified or knowledge enough to live out my dream. I feel that if I own the title of "Brandi Heath, Publicist & Graphic Designer”,  I will somehow be fooling others into thinking I am more than what I am. I feel like I would fail.

But the hard truth is that I am qualified. No, I don’t know everything about PR, nor have I mastered every single Adobe application. But I am skilled in some areas. I shouldn’t feel like this after studying and practicing my craft on a regular basis for all these years. I’ve got to be more confident in myself.

And I have to start somewhere. No one was born with all the knowledge they needed to succeed. It was gained over time. I feel that it’s time for me to step out on a ledge and finally take that leap towards my dream. I’d hate myself if I didn’t.
