Get a real job

For too long, I didn’t know what I was looking for. I didn’t know what was possible.

Channel Void asked me to write another article for them, this one’s about the challenges of pursuing a creative career.

This article follows my journey trying to workout what I wanted to do with my life, what a career path meant, how I discovered a career I love and how I ended up as a freelance writer.

“My high school had a careers guidance counsellor – well, from memory he was a science teacher who also helped guide us towards whatever career we were destined to plug into. I can’t remember a damn thing he said for two reasons. One, I was too busy wondering (but too shy to ask) whether his careers guidance counsellor predicted that he’d become a guidance counsellor. And two, I was still reeling from learning that he recommended my friend David become a religious leader.“

Lifted from their about page, “Channel Void exists to challenge the abrasion of life as a thinking, feeling, sensual entity, by providing a universe of education, tools, art and entertainment, accessible to every level of awareness. We believe that being a young person in 2020 has left a void in heart, mind, body and soul. The nature of many lives today, lacking in ritual, intergenerational mentorship, storytelling and connection to earth, has bred disconnection and dissociation from self and others.”
