I've been worried for the future as well, which is why I also decided to make these fun quotes to keep me going. It seems all my life I've been told that I can't make a living being a writer, that I should do any job I can get my hands on. It all made me so depressed that I couldn't take it anymore. That's when I told myself enough was enough. I'm my own person and, apparently, only 'I' can make myself happy; even if others think I'm being stupid or selfish.
This quote kind of sums up my feelings:
"The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn’t require any" – Russell Baker.
The last part implies to me that writing is the only 'work' I don't consider work; and they are always saying a person should love their work - because then it's not actual work. I just love to create characters, new worlds, and fill them with lots and lots of adventure and comical moments.
It sure is hard to follow your dreams, isn't it?
