Reader Q&A: I want to be a graphic designer–now what?

Reader Q&A: I want to be a graphic designer–now what?

by Clarissa | Oct 10, 2018 | Professional Life

Hey all! I’ve started a new Reader Q&A series because I’ve had people ask me questions and I’m all about answering them 🙂 Up this week: I want to be a graphic designer—now what? “How did you get started?” By chance, actually. I was in my last semester as a PR...

It’s not about having it figured out. It’s about living for today.

Breaking up sucks. That’s it, that’s the post. Breaking up sucks. That’s it, that’s the post. At least most of us don’t have to deal with it publicly. 

As an avid Bravo watcher, you betcha I’ve viewed the breakup between Bravo’s favorite cousin @arianamadix and the wanna-butwillneva-be glam rocker bartender turned restaurant “owner.” It’s easy to view people on TV as characters, but in reality they are humans processing real stuff and at times in real time. 

While going through the aftermath of mine (privately), I viewed Ariana (socially and publicly) take on projects and putting herself first, AS SHE SHOULD. On the blog I talk about how watching her helped me realize I’ll be OK. PS. There may be a Queen Ariana playlist…maybe. ♥️

Hey Little Bit: Dropping in from the future to gi Hey Little Bit:

Dropping in from the future to give you a heads up—

Life is going to LIFE honey. You’ll gain and lose people with no explanation as to why. It’ll hurt and you’ll carry longer than you should because you’re an empathetic person who just wants to be friends with everyone and have everyone be happy. 

But that’s not on you. Turn inward and realize your ability to make people feel seen and accepted is from the strength you gained when you felt you were ignored.

All those things people say you have to do? You don’t. Do you boo and make yourself happy. You deserve all the happiness in the world.

PS. Those chips don’t exist anymore, so YOLO and enjoy.

Happy New Year, folks! I'm sure a lot of you have Happy New Year, folks! I'm sure a lot of you have been bombarded with ads about, "New year new body," or "detoxing from the holiday glutton," and as an aspiring dietitian who has taken science courses I'm here to tell you: It's a lie fam!

The cool thing about our bodies is it knows what it's doing. Organs like our liver and kidneys do that detoxing thing EVERY DAY! Save your money and sanity. If you have any questions consult a certified dietitian without a sketchy past (and you can contact me in 3-5 years!). 

Love you, mean it!

TW: S**c*de and Ideation Here’s the thing—the TW: S**c*de and Ideation

Here’s the thing—the brain is an amazing, beautiful, complex, tricky, horrible, confusing thing we have. It helps us make decisions and process information.

It tells the organs to do their thing without us realizing it.

And while it’s beautiful and awesome at sending and receiving information, it can trick us, make us feel ways that keep us down, amongst other things.

“Why even try?”

No matter how you fight against it, with some, you may have that fleeting thought, “What if I wasn’t here anymore? That’d be nice.” 

Sometimes it’s just a thought. For me, as it comes across my brain I shake my head and ask, “where the hell did that come from?” and go on about my day.

For some, it’s “further” confirmation.

Suffering is one one of the worst feelings. You feel like a burden, you want to scream, cry, but nothing shakes *that* feeling. So you put on a happy face and try to blend in. 

The reasons are endless, and honestly don’t matter. The thing to understand is, when one follows through and succeeds, it’s to find peace; if not here, it’s elsewhere, because their brain makes them believe this to be true…

…the beautiful, complex, tricky, horrible, confusing thing we live with daily.

Please be sensitive and understanding of this. To quickly dismiss this as a choice is hurtful to people who suffer. Compassion and empathy go a long way, and should be practiced daily.

With Love,
C
