Here's to our future.

Quote of the day: "sometimes you win , sometimes you learn"
I don’t really know where I’ll be in 5 years’ time, and that’s me being brutally honest, we spend half of our lives in education, and trying to make something out of ourselves, and hoping we’ll be happy and successful one day.

What I’m trying to say is that I’ve finally hit the point in my life where young people have to decide what career path they want to go into, and my first thought was, "someone please make me 5 again", since i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life, as in who was i? and what did i want to do?

i literally had no answer, apart from my school telling us to start personal statements, (which is like a short essay describing why you would be a suitable candidate for your chosen course at university), this is the point where i went from being an aspiring journalist to a nurse, then to a therapist then lastly decided social work was the degree for me.

if you didn't know my dream was to become a journalist, and i was even given an intern-ship with the times newspaper, but after doing a lot of research and a one to one conversation with my parents, i've realised how difficult it is to get a job in this field of work. this sudden realisation made me depressed with my life, and made me despise writing, and looked at my life negatively.

which led me to look for a new course that i could do in university, and i ended up finding a degree that i believe that relates into my personal qualities of making a difference on someone's life.

i haven't given up on my dream of becoming a journalist, I've just simply decided it's better to do something you love as a hobby rather than a job.

i will keep on writing and getting myself out there, but i will also stay wise on making decisions when it comes to life, what i'm trying is that for many years i went on planning with my life and knowing exactly what i wanted to do, to not knowing at all. 

that's the thing about our lives as in you never know what life  has planned for you, no matter how much you want to make plans for your future, our life has a different idea.

and the only advice i can give to you guys is that let life flow, and it's okay to be scared for our future and not knowing what you want to do with your life, it just takes time and experiences, but for now just enjoy your life and just do you for once.

i hope this has helped you, and if you need any advice please don't hesitate to email me:
