Passion Projects/ What if I Wouldn't Fail

Some of the personal touches at our wedding. mhmm :)

Today I was in my very last ever lecture of university, it happened to be a PR lecture and we had the head of careers with us, talking about next steps. She asked the whole class what we would do, what career we would choose, if we knew we wouldn’t fail. Everyone took a while to think this through. Some people had no idea what they wanted to do, other people were so sure of the niche career they were pursuing. When we had all taken a few minutes to think about it and talk it over with those around us, we had to share with the class. My thoughts drifted in three directions. I thought I would share these, share my passions:

PR- taking this module has shown me that my ENTP (take the test) traits have a place in this world, and it has really opened my eyes to a career that I’ve never thought about before. I love the idea of working in a busy environment, relying heavily on interpersonal skills and creative ideas- I’ve even applied for internships. 

Craft- I’m guessing you figured this one out already. The thing I love about craft, and running craft workshops is that its so accessible. People think they can’t, but nearly always they can. I love the way creative confidence effects all-round confidence. Im a particularly big fan of DIY wedding craft.

Blogging- My hero is Elsie of A Beautiful Mess, I love that blog and pretty much everything they do. Blogs are great ways of communicating something to a lot of people, more than you could at a craft workshop and with more ease than writing a book. It combines words, photography and original ideas.

So could I combine these?

PR is very much a part of blogging, especially if you are hoping to grow and profit from your blog. I could have a blog that focuses on wedding based craft, and perhaps a bit of adventure thrown in for good measure (theres lots of craft blogs, but I’ve never seen anyone combine this with wild camping). I have no idea how that can happen apart from hard work. I still love the face to face nature of workshops, so maybe I could start doing workshops and consultations for wedding crafts. Helping people make the guests favours, or hair combs for the bridesmaids…. 

Im just thinking out loud.

I suppose in a years time we will see what direction my life took.

And then I’ll write another blog post.

But what I'm most interested in is if you took the personality test, pretty please share your results!
