Being a Thousand Things

The passion that follows

By ArapPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

What does being over a thousand things mean to you? Yes, I’m talking to you on the other side of this screen. In general, being over a thousand things can mean anything. Some can take it as putting up multiple facades in life or feeling different types of emotions all at once. Some may even go as far as being involved or having various identities. Others will believe it's a stage in life people have gone through. For example, teenager to adult. When you were teenager you might of been really into the emo or gothic fashion but once you became and adult you grew out of that style and liked more business casual clothes instead. Being over a thousands things is more then just life itself.

Growing up I remember wanting to be multiple things. Such being a singer, track star, motivational speaker, actress, model, everything you can think of. I would tell my mom, and she would say, “ ok, if your serious, you must eat, sleep, and breath that profession.” I did for awhile but it didn't last forever. At max, I'll say three months before I moved on to the next dream. I even told my mom I’ll just be all of them. A singer, track star, cook, comic book writer, you name it. I said it and done it but it never stuck. Over all the things i’ve done there has been only one that kept coming back. That was being a writer. I’ve been a writer since I was young. My first book I ever did was a Comic strip for my family.

Even though my writing was on and off, I always came back to it. Whether if it was for a story or poetry. I felt like writing has always been there. So I finally decided to become an author and be serious about it, it's no longer a season it's forever.

Even though I decide on being an author. I don't just want to be known for that. I want something more than that. Yes, I want and will be a writer but my writing will have a purpose and a story. A story to touch the heart of readers and to inspire. Seeing my work become a movie or Tv show someday.

I won't be just an author but also someone who owns there own clothing company and to motivate change in peoples life that includes a healthy lifestyle, talking about fashion and so much more.

This is what I mean by being over a thousand things. I don't want to just box myself into being apart of one profession. My inspiration comes from my life, conversations I had and also games and anime. I loved how I could enjoy the story and love the characters. After awhile, something clicked and told me why don't I create my own imaginative story. I always imagine a story in my head. Let's write down and share it.

I still have a lot to learn in life and dreams that I want and will achieve. Other people should support my passion because my goal is to inspire and motivate change through my writing while also sending a message about being able to talk about anything and everything while being informative in an appealing way without having to be serious all the time. To be able to make reading and writing something fun to do. I must inspire people to go after their dreams. Let's stop being afraid and settling for a job that you never wanted. No matter what walks of life that individual is from, there is something unique only that person can do. They just have to find it and figure it out.

That is my story of being a thousand things.
