This title refers to two different aspects of my life firstly this here blog. After the initial hype which surrounds starting any new project, I am the first to admit my stream of consciousness slowed to a halt around exam season, and this is my first chance/desire to get back into it. I have decided that what ultimately want from this blog is a place to escape to when everything seems to be mounting up, I want this to be the place where i'm free to express and explore those things which make me happiest. Secondly then, this title refers to my absent boyfriend, who is currently studying in Hong Kong for six weeks. Whilst being unbelievably talented and driven, he has also shown me what is truly important in life. I admire the way in which he's travel across the globe and is embracing every opportunity he's faced. Yes I know this level of pride is verging on the edges of being sickening to anyone outside my relationship bubble, however bare with me ...
I have, for as long as I can remember, faced this feeling that I want more from life than a healthy salary in an 'okay' firm doing an 'okay' job. I am currently working my way through a summer internship (no names mentioned here - sneaky) and whilst I love the people I am meeting, and I realise how amazing the opportunity I have currently is amazing, it has also helped solidify my belief that I am not going to end up a boring old suit before I turn 30.
I think life is for living, it's about embracing those things which you love, and as corny as it sounds, it about doing those things which scare us - not matter how great the potential for failure is.
This blog is hopefully going to reflect this, and act as documentation to illustrate the turning point I feel i'm about make.
I am scared shitless that i'll grow old and never have done those things which 1. scare me 2. excite me 3. make me happier than I ever though possible. In the words of Willy Wonker "take and look and you'll see into your imagination"
