Dear Mr. Jobs

‎'You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.” ~Steve Jobs...RIP

In honor of Steve Jobs, I will find what I love. I will do what I love. Great work is what I thrive to deliver, and finding an outlet for great work is the mission I am on. I will keep looking and believe me, Mr. Jobs, I will not settle.

Steve did what he loved. He made his mark and made his own way. He inspired millions- by just doing him. What is stopping me from making my mark? What is my road block? Life is clearly short- nothing is for sure, decisions must be made and sometimes there is no time to think, just time to do and think later.

I read an article recently that spoke about how hard it is to write when life is actually good. When I am actually happy- I am not sitting at home with my computer typing about being happy, I am actually living out my happiness. When life isnt so pretty- when the world turns against me, I curl up next to my beloved computer that never seems to disappoint me. The struggle of actually being a writer is the ability to write all feelings- mad, sad, happy and everything in between. The past few months for me have been amazing- my boyfriend was living in Atlanta, and instead of writing about how much I missed being together with him and doing things together, we were out- living.

If I want to be a writer, If I want to be great, and If I want people to actually care what I have to say, then writing in all times is what I need to learn how to do. I might start slow- not writing about every little thing, but the writing will come.

So, I have to say, thank you Steve Jobs, for everything you did in your 56 years of living, and for the inspiration you have given me in your death. Because your life was taken away in such a short time, I promise you that I will find what I love to do, I will keep looking until I find it, and will never settle. I swear.

Peace, love and on a mission,

B
