To all my special people...

My life is full.
Full of wonderful people and things just as they should be.
Wonderful parents and siblings, great friends and a loving husband.

Why am I writing about this?
Because this is important.
We need to tell ourselves this more often.

We get so deterred by the little things, we forget to acknowledge what's good.
Because none of this needed to be so.
Things could've been a lot different, a lot worse.
So I want to say thank you to everyone who makes my life what it is.

Mom and dad for being ever-so-doting.
My brother for just being himself and being there.
My husband for being so loving and giving.
And my friends, for being the most understanding lot, ever!

It's no special day today, but off late I feel I haven't been thankful enough.
So this is for my special people.
You make me what I am.
Without you, it just wouldn't be the same.

A Copywriter's Wish

I suffer from this strange condition where I think my opinions don't matter unless I write them down. And I haven't written in so long, so you can only imagine my angst.
Jokes apart.

This is not a good thing that every now and then I just lose the will to write anything else other than work stuff.
In my head I think I'm doing something great.
Wow! I'm working for a client!
My work got approved! I'm wide-eyed in delight!
And then?
Then what?

Does that work appear with your name near it? No.
Does the client even know your name? No.
Does your family know about it and feel proud? No.
(Your family probably doesn't even understand what you do for a living. Yeah, it's ok, it happens a lot. Copywriter? You copy stuff? *eye roll* I get that all the time.)

So then, why do I waste so many hours of my life worrying about something nobody knows I did?! I'd rather write my own stuff and be known for it, no?

Don't get me wrong, I love working.
You get to meet so many people. There's so much to learn.
If I didn't work, I wouldn't be writing this blog either, so...
A certain amount of gratitude to my work is in order :)
That said.

You know what I wish?
I wish someone paid me to write this stuff - my experiences or my take on something.
That would be so much more fun.

Until I get lucky about that, guess I'll just have to do with being a copywriter.
And no, I do not copy stuff! Look it up already!
