Dan in Real Life Questions

Number 3) I would write for a newspaper, which was actually what I wanted to do for a long time. I write for a newspaper now. It is my dream to be a travel journalist and write a column for a newspaper about the places I see, and the people I meet, and the experiences I have. I would travel all of the world and stay in one place for a week at a time and get to know the culture of that particular place and get to know the people that live there and their everyday lives. Then at the end of the week I would write about all that I learned and how it made me feel. I think it would be really interesting and it would help me grow as a person and I would become more cultured and well-traveled. I have always wanted to travel the world and I can’t think of a better way to make a living, then get paid to travel  the world and gain once in a life time experiences, but most importantly do what I love; write.

Number 16) I don’t think I have found my talent. My mom was a writer and reporter for a newspaper and a news station when she was younger and she always tells me that I was made to be a writer. That ever since I was little I have been writing and that it seems to be my calling, but I’m not sure. I love to write but I don’t think I am exceptionally good at it. I often get writer block or simply don’t know what to write about. I don’t get inspired easily, and I certainly don’t read enough. I’m not good at writing at nonfiction stories, or being really creative. I try to be descriptive but it doesn’t always sound the way I want it to. I think I am way too hard on myself to be a good writer, I think exceptional writers write from the heart and soul. They write about things they are passionate about, good or bad. At this time in my life, I’m not too passionate about many things. I can be passionate about the idea of things. You know what they say, you are your own worst critic and I fully believe in that.

Number 22) I’ve been going back and forth on this question. I think that we as humans tend to focus more on things that disappoint us, then the things that make us happy. It is just easier to focus on the negative more than the positive. I think that if you are a “glass half empty person” then it can seem like life is full of disappointment, whether that may be true or not. Sure, bad things happen to every person and we all get disappointed from time to time, whether we are disappoint in another person, about a situation, or even at ourselves, but that doesn’t mean everything is bad. Even I have days when it seems like everything is going wrong and nothing is going right for me, but I know that it’s just a bad day, not a bad life. It is easy to feel like there is a storm cloud hanging over our heads and sometimes it’s easier to feel bad for yourself rather then put on a fake smile to seem like you’re okay when you’re not and I completely understand that. I think what you get out of life is what you put into it. Life is full of things, and it is just how you choose to look at the life you were handed, and if you don’t like how something is playing out in your life, change it. You have the power to change your life at any moment
