Everyday, more and more, I feel as though my soon to be career in the Advertising world is mimicking my dating life.
Guys come and go. Some dates are ok and others are awful. I haven’t quite found my match. Granted each night is memory filled and something I will soon laugh over but in the moment, it is draining.
I should just know what my type is and what I am attracted to but instead I enjoy crossing all bounds and getting my feet wet in different areas.
And just when I think I’ve met “the one” my family or friends come along to tell me I can do better!
I have been told you should just know if you are creative or management. But what happens when you enjoy both? Photography is my medium, color is my life… I get lost in the art and captivated by the execution. I, also, always wear all black or mismatch as many colors as possible… if that isn’t a creative, I don’t know what is! On the opposite side, I love working with clients and people. Public speaking is a skill that my parents branded into me as soon as I can talk. I can manage and bring out the best of people. My latest growth, staying calm under pressure and creating an environment that is conducive for growth.
The above doesn’t even begin to describe my dilemma of finding my advertising mate. But like most mothers teach their daughters, “you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince.” Since pushing boundaries and taking leaps is what I do best, why settle now? I will continue my search (and self growth) until I find the right fit, mom/dad/professor/friend approved!
