I've always been under the impression that starting a blog should be monumental... you've gotten a new career, you've graduated from uni, moved across the country or are moving away from your country, that sort of thing.
Yet here I am.
Today I've done nothing monumental. But maybe that's the point of this. I'm not going to be writing blogs that will change the world, they might not even change my world in any way. But I'm doing something I always said I would. Which to me is becoming very important.
At the ripe-old age of 22, I'm beginning to realise that moments do define you and choices you make will affect the rest of your life. Now I don't mean deciding which dress to buy on ASOS, not to say that that hasn't been a quandry for me many a time, but I mean real choices. What job shall I take? Where do I want to live? What do I want to do with my life? Who do I want to live that life with?
And that is scary. Up until now I have just done what I was supposed to do. Go to school, done that, go to uni, done that, graduate, done that, get a job, done that, get another job, done that.
What happens after that though? If I keep going down this path I'm scared I'll reach my 30s and be none-the-wiser, and unhappy. And I don't want that.
So starting this blog is a step in the direction I want to go in. If I say I want to do something, I should do it. Life is far too short. And I'm too much of a dreamer to let it pass me by without living the life I've always wanted.
So this blog is the start of that. Following through, doing what I say I will and hopefully, making myself really happy in the process.
