I just started the process of creating my own brand in order to get serious with my carreer. I currently am pursuing a Advertising degree, and broooooooooooooooooooootheeer it sucks ass.
I feel sooo desmotivated, but I went to my therapist and DANG SHE DO MAKE GOOD USE OF MY MONEY, she told me that I could target a certain group to provide them with services. honestly I LOVE IT.
it got me excited enough to see what am lacking, and to see what am not. While am a creative type of soul, I do struggle a lot at the moment as I been working to survive and not working to grow my carreer. this si honestly awful, but so true. If you are not born in a golden spoon type of situation, you will have to push harder. Saying that, i want you to know that you can do this, and everything is possible.
Id on't have resources, period. however I'm pushing with what I can and what I have, i don't feel like a fool when am doing creative stuff but I do feel like a fool when am doing customer service dang I hate ppl honestly and a kind specifically but that's too controversial.
Anywas, I wanted to share how am literally starting a business lol, and so do you. Is ALL about the LITTLE things, belive me.
OF COURSE, i will appreciate all the support and clients you guys can provide me with jijiji but that will be for another post.
THANK YOU FOR READING < 3

you honestly might be better finding a contract gig or a more full time corporate or agency position, though you’ll have a harder time landing interviews without any experience or a portfolio.
honestly, make work up. seriously! pick a local business or a brand and create your own campaigns for them. redo an existing campaign that you think could be better or come up with something entirely unique. You could blog about that process.
figure out what niche of writing you want—technical is very different from marketing which can be different from social media which is not the same as PR.
challenge yourself to rewrite every piece of material you come across — emails, flyers, commercial scripts.
find local businesses that may be looking for “creative“ or “marketing” help.
I’m a copywriter rn, I feel your struggle! DM me if you have more qs 💖

I work in social media and marketing. I don’t have a team I do everything for this small business owner on my own... create content, manage several social platforms, create copy for emails, design email templates, send out emails, come up with new ideas for events and etc. I do all of these things and when I think about looking for another job I feel so inadequate because I didn ’t finish school. Sure I took a few marketing courses, did an internship but I didn‘t walk across the stage. Now I feel like the biggest imposter.. Like should I go back to school just so it can say that I went to school.. IDK 😀

I'm treating myself like I am hot shit and a niche celeb who stopped posting suddenly so just go along with it.
No ego here, just a guy who likes writing/talking.
I left my job the 10th of this month. That's the nice, don't beat yourself up about it, way I tell people when they ask about work. Truth is I got fired.
2025. Holy Fucking Cow.
So many deaths. So many accidents. So many ' So Many 's.
I'm an emotional guy. A cry baby, If you will. Whenever something out of ordinary/not scheduled programming happens, I need a day.
This resulted in a lot of time off. Reasonable time off, I believed.
Manage didn't agree with me. I was called a 'Unreliable Worker', with a, 'Unpredictable Schedule'. So they let me go. There I was, wondering the streets during lunch time, looking for something, ANYTHING, preferably cooking/culinary. My girlfriend believed I was at work, making momey to support us, two cats, and our very inexpensive rent, that I was miraculosly short on, again.
I called friends, the family that would answer, and some old coworkers about who's hiring, and who is basically telling you to fuck off. This is the part of the story that sounds fake, I sat at a bench in front of arguably one of my favorite restaurants ever. McAdoo's Seafood Company. Dreaming of working there, learning the in's and out's, burning my finger tips, coming home smelling like the mediterranean, and going back to do it all again. As I'm looking at it, I see a hanging sign of a hand pointing to the left with "Enterance" written on it. It's to a steakhouse i've heard of, but never ate at, I figured I must as well try. I walked in, immediately realizing they're closed. And there is he, my savior, the reason I'm able to pay my rent, my everything, Steve. Typing away on his laptop, asks me, "Hey, how can I help you?" I was thrown off guard so hard to the point I stuttered to an extent I never have before. As I'm mumbling away, all I can get out of my stupid mouth was "I need a job."
He laughed, asked what I'd be applying for, and I tell him culinary.
He hands me an application, and interviews me on the spot, we talk about where I was working, my background, past jobs, ect.
We talk for longer, and offers me the job, tells me to come back later to meet the kitchen manager.
I do.
Sweetest woman ever. We talk, get to know each other a bit.
She asks me embarrassingly if I'd like to work the same day for how two of her cooks called in, I obviously say yes.
And I've been there since.
Some of the most amazing, kind, and stupid people I've ever met. You'd have to drag me out by my feet if you wanted me to leave.
To whoever stayed and listened to my rambling, thank you, a lot.

Having a crush at work is wild. I’ve decided to keep it as just that—a crush—which means absolutely no interactions with this person. I want to stay focused at work, but let me be clear: it doesn’t make them any less BEAUTIFUL.
Sometimes, I let myself steal a glance, feeling that thrilling rush while thinking, “What if they can tell how I feel just by looking at my eyes?”And then, of course, the terrifying follow-up: “What if the answer is yes?!” It’s pure chaos in my head.
But here’s the kicker —I recently found out he has a girlfriend. When I heard that, believe me, I wanted to evaporate on the spot. But I couldn’t, because, of course, it’s just a crush 😞
So now, here I am: heartbroken over someone I’ve never spoken to and never will speak to.
