Words for the week // No.6

Tweet: "You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love." @JimCarrey via @hapanaal

I stumbled on this video of Jim Carrey giving a commencement speech, and his words really resonated with me. Especially the quote above. I'm going to be honest. Ever since I was rejected from Cologne, I've had moments of doubt. Moments, when it seems like I'm chasing a train I can't possibly catch. Moments that make me wonder why I even bother to try. Those words gave me the perspective I needed. You can fail at what you want, but also at what you don't even want. I'd rather choose the first. I hope you will, too.

Autumn and dreams

It seems that with the new season I've also entered into a new phase of dreaming. With endings there is always room for new beginnings. And new beginnings always awaken the dreamer in me. There are so many possibilities and it seems that almost everything and anything is possible. It's an exhilarating and frightening feeling at the same time. With choices comes a lot of freedom, but also a lot of responsibility. And it makes you wonder wether you're going to make the right decisions. 

It's my final year in my current school. I can't believe the end is so near! This means that I have to look for another school that will help me nourish and build my dream of becoming a singer. I have my heart set on a school in Germany, so I'm working on finding a teacher and passing the language test. I want to get in so badly! I just feel that it's the right place for me.  

Applying for a school in Germany means a lot of travel, which means a lot of money spent of airfares and hostels. I've opened up my Etsy shop again in the hopes that it will help to fund my efforts of getting into my dream school. So, if you know somebody who'd love to get a cute knitted headband for Christmas... (hint hint ;))
