Well, Today i attended a talk with a young girl that graduated from my University a few years ago and it has made me feel so so inspired. She spoke of how she got to go to London, Paris and New York fashion week, she lived in New York for three months writing for papers and now she is writing for a living doing something she loves everyday.
This is literally the dream. I am so determined to get internships after today, i have been looking and applying and i just hope it pays off. It has filled my head with some many creative ideas of things that i want to do and its making me very excited.
I think the feeling of inspiration is just magical. Despite having a banging headache i am so in the mood to create and plan and make things because i feel so inspired. It is really important in your life to have role models and mentors, people we look up to and aspire to be like. Today Louie, the quest speaker, said that mentors should almost be the people you hate the most. The people who in the office who don't sit and have a gossip at lunch and the ones who are often not your friends. Because they are the ones with their heads in the game, the ones who are cruising ahead and will get to the top.
This industry, the fashion writing game, its really tough and you face a lot of rejection which i am starting to find out! But it is so worth it in the end. Obviously i am not talking from experience yet but hopefully i will be able to soon!
Dreams are meant to be reached, not broken x
