(Well, actually that's a lie already. What a perfect start for a blog! The truth is that the real DAY happened last week, but it sounds so much cooler to talk about it as if it was today...)
There are two main reasons why I decided to call today THE DAY.
Firstly, because I turned 29!
(Yeeehhhaaa!! Everybody, call the news! Break out the champagne! Drop the bass! Let's paaarty!)
And being an experienced 29-year-old, I can tell you that it feels exactly the same as it felt to be 16 - like being on some kind of a borderline between a teenager and an adult.
Is it normal?... I wonder if this feeling is ever going to change.
Well, I certainly hope not!
Now give me all the birthday cakes!
The second reason why I call today THE DAY is because today I quit my job.
...
(Astonished silence in Spanish.)
...
Yes, I did it!! (Holy macaroni!) I quit my job... I quit my well paying, well respected, secure job at a huge lawfirm, where I had a predictible career ahead of me and a nice and safe future for the rest of my life...
I know. Now you are wondering whether you should continue to read this blog because something is obviously very wrong with me.
Some would even think, that I went totally bananas... - Yes, I'm looking at you, dad! I know what you're thinking!
But I would like to calm everybody down before tempers flare: no worries, (I think) I know what I'm doing!
I have a goal. A very precise and very beautiful goal before me.
I will make my dreams come true. I will become a movie maker.
Doesn't it sound super exciting??
To make dreams come true?
Would you like to see me try? Do you care to come along with me? To share my fears and hopes, my failures and successes? Do you want to be a part of my journey?
If the answer is yes to at least one of the above questions, then (1) you only have to follow this blog, because I will report on every step I take towards my dreams, (2) I love you, and thank you!
In exchange for reading I promise I will keep you posted!
And will also keep you motivated!
Yaay! :)
Finally, as a little surprise to myself, here is a pink motivational potato, who cheers only for me:
