Mia, this is a very nice piece of work. It really resonated with me. I'm on career three and probably transitioning to number four. Throughout my entire working life, I've done two things: write and take photographs. I've made a living doing both. I enjoy writing for Medium and Counter Arts because these are places I get to combine the passions. People routinely ask me about the process of becoming a writer. What I can say is this: practice. I've managed to get over two million words published in the last 15 years and I know I still have a lot to learn. Every essay is a chance to do that. Passion + Practice = Opportunity and maybe Fulfillment. Again, enjoyed your essay. -Matty.
