Hello world.
I look to the future a lot. I wouldn’t really say I’m a dreamer or that my head is in the clouds – I just like to know what I want. When I was younger I watched a lot of films and heard a lot of adult conversations where people would continually be struggling, not to succeed, but to know what they want. I decided I should become sure of myself – I always think of the future, because I like exploring my desires. I’m pretty sure that’s why I was such an avid Sims (1, 2 and 3) player – it generates ideas of how life can go. Obviously this has its negative points. I’ve had people tell me that I’m bossy and selfish for going after what I want. They may be right, but at the end of the day I want to know that I’ve tried my absolute best to be happy; isn’t that what we all strive for anyway?
However, my life is head-to-toe in drama. I used to think I was addicted to it. Now I just feel it’s a consequence of taking risks; which I am entirely okay with. This might surprise some of you but so far this year I have:
- raised £170+ for cancer research by running the Race for Life 10km
- been in trouble with the police…twice. One of which was a huge eye opener.
- got a new job
- cracked a rib
- made some new friends
- broken up with an ex
- started a new fantastic relationship
- burnt the skin off my finger
- started writing this blog (okay, that’s not that surprising if you’re reading this) and I’ve been offered a position to write blogs for my university; don’t worry, I’ll link you when they’re available
- lost some friends
That’s the bare minimum – and it’s only July… It has definitely been an eventful half of the year but it’s also been one of the best so far. Sometimes really upsetting things happen, and it’s 100% okay to get down about them. But don’t let them interfere with the good times – personally, this is harder said than done but I’m definitely working on it with help and support. For now I shall keep imagining a future where I dance around in glitter and have a Boxer named Lancelot.
Over&out.
