![{A Copywriter's Lost Dream} Non è facile andare avanti quando i tuoi sogni fanno a pugni con la realtà. Da bambina sognavo di diventare una scrittrice: le mie storie avrebbero strappato un sorriso, fatto commuovere, asciugato una lacrima. Era solo questione di tempo. Non ho mai pensato che fosse una questione di: talento, carisma, culo (banalmente).
Oggi tutti i giorni mi scontro con una realtà diversa. Vivo di scrittura, sì: per 8 o 9 ore della mia giornata siedo alla scrivania, provocando valanghe di copy e articoletti di cui ricopro l'Internet.
Il mio sogno è prostituzione che paga le bollette.
So che molti, al posto mio, si riterrebbero fortunati. Sono arrivata così vicina a fare quello che volevo. È in quel 'quasi' che sta tutta la sofferenza.
