Times are a changing, i absolutely needed this to happen. It's tough at the moment but that's how i like it. I hate getting comfortable, even though i constantly let things pass me by. The next year or so i am confident that i am gonna make the absolute most of every single opportunity that comes my way. Even if it means making some complete changes in my life.
A change of scenery...
I can't even begin to describe how much i need to get out of this shithole. Walking through this place every single day and seeing the things that go on around here is something that i need to get away from. It's where i've grown up for the past 18 years and i'm sick to death of it. Everyone here is miserable and i can't blame them. There is no hope or ambition here, it's SHIT. From here i am going to do everything i can to move out, it will happen. I need to see different countries. Went to Philly last year and fell in love with the place. I need more of this. It was a complete eye opener. Not once when i was over there did i feel like i was being judged. People talked to you like they genuinely interested in who you were and what you had to say. I want to see more of this.
A change of lifestyle....
Pretty obvious. Found out this week the my Nana has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Worst news ever. She is hands down the best woman in this world. At her age there's pretty much fuck all that can be done to stop it. I just need to see her more often. I'm blessed to have known and remembered all my grandparents, each one of them are hands down some of the biggest influences in my life. With that, i have to stop smoking. I never want the same thing to happen to me.
A change in priorities...
Best advice i was ever given was "work to live not live to work". I should follow that more often. The last year or so i've done the complete opposite. I'm lucky to have a job and be remotely successful at it. I earn decent money but that's all meaningless if i'm doing nothing with it. I need to get out more, see people more and make the most of the friendships that i have. I let go of a lot of friends a few years ago and i was lucky enough to get them back in my life. I'm determined to keep it that way. It's been great the last few weeks, i've developed friendships with people i never thought i'd talk to, let alone hang out with. It's kinda odd but a couple in particular have been great. It's just taught me to completely let go of any preconceptions of have of people and get to know them before making a judgement on who they are.
That's me done, cheers.
