Maybe it’s because it’s getting to winter and I’m getting ‘middle of the year’ syndrome when I need something happening, to excite me. Otherwise every day seems to go so much slower.
I have always wondered if it’s just me. It’s not that I’m not content with everything, I just crave so much more. I dream of travelling, picking up my passport and just going. This could be because I’ve watched a numerous amount of movies and think anything is possible, not that this is a bad thing. I love that I want to do everything, however it can get depressing when I realise I can’t.
I don’t know when it happened, when I started thinking about my life and where I want to go and who I want to be, and seeing the world from a young age I got a taste for how much more there is. So I make promises to myself, create bucket lists and make plans. I know life doesn’t always go accordingly, believe me I do, but whenever things start drifting from the path I know that it isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes it leads me to better destinations and other times I just have to spend a little extra effort rebuilding the path to get back on it.
For the meantime, I do have something to look forward to – I’m turning 21 and although I didn’t want to do anything, I found out my mum and friends have planned something for me. They are so great. I even cried when they told me because it was so unexpected and now I have this night to look forward to.
Turning 21 comes with great maturity and responsibility (in my eyes anyway) and a whole lot of celebrating. Having a 21st means a lot more preparation, i.e. guest lists and the perfect birthday dress, which is extremely important haha.
Having a big party isn’t the only thing I have to look forward to. I have great jobs (yes, plural), passion for what I want and great people around me who continuously support me in my life, and having them with me on my life journey is something very exciting to look forward to, not everyone has that privilege.
Although there is a long road ahead, I am proud of how far I have come, there’s been a lot of hurdles in my life, some sad, some hard and some amazing and it’s crazy looking back how big the little things were and how little the big things were.
Life is about moments and thank god I have a zest for life to create extraordinary moments that I will one day, far, far in to the future get to share with my kids, like my parents have with me and inspire them to keep dreaming. I know not everything is possible but it’s only a small box of things you can’t do and endless opportunities out there that are waiting for you to grab them.
You never know where you’re going to end up and things change all the time, but a quote I live by that’s from my favourite movie of all time ‘Titanic’; “I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re going to get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you. To make each day count”
Until next time, keep looking forward!
