I think I need to leave the Order of Magical Monks. This last week has just been crazy for me and I don’t think I can take it anymore. When you get falsely accused of stealing all the pens, then feel yourself being socially cast out before they straight up throw you in prison and put you on trial, it’s not the best feeling in the world. Although my name has been cleared, since the real pen thief was caught, there’s been a major breakdown in trust here. I don’t think I can go on knowing that they all thought I was capable of something so horrible. I’ve never stolen a pen in my life! I love the Order of Magical Monks, but it might be time Akosa Tayno started looking for another job. It hurts to admit it because this really is my dream career. I have to follow my truth, though, and my truth is that maybe I’m not supposed to be a magical monk.
I’ll likely need to see a career counsellor. Close to Melbourne, I think I’ll be able to find a good one, but will they be able to help me find the right job? What does somebody who has spent their entire life training to be a magical monk do for work? I don’t have any skills or proper education of any kind. Other people my age have it easy. They get to just walk up to their school career counsellor and get some quality student career advice. Melbourne kids, realise that you have your whole life ahead of you. You can be whatever you want! Take the opportunity you have and run with it because you’ve got better career prospects than I do.
I’m sure I’ll find my path eventually, but it’s hard to imagine what that could be. I don’t know, maybe I’ll go hang out with some mechanics or something.
