“My path isn’t straight… and that’s fine”

Daily writing prompt
What is your career plan?

10:17 in the morning.

Los Angeles.

Coffee in my hand.

Just got back from buying beans at Sprouts.


Thinking about career.


Right now…

I sell plastic and paper bags.


It pays the bills.


But it’s not what I want to do forever.


What I want…

is to become an artist.


And that’s where it gets messy.


Because my path isn’t one thing.


I like drawing.

Animation.

3D modeling.


I also like business.

Learning about money.

Stocks.

Building something.


So when I think about a “career plan”…

it doesn’t look straight.


It looks like stops along the way.


Different things I pick up.

Different things I build.


And maybe that’s what it is.


Not one path.


A route.


💬 Reader question

Does your path feel clear… or are you figuring it out as you go?

If this felt real… I write moments like this.
