I'm doing 31 things
i find myself in similar positions to where i was 2 years ago and i judge myself. Didn’t i learn anything??? where did all those good feelings go to? I am 28 and for whatever reason this has been scary to me , im getting old!!! i dont think 28 is old ,i dont think 60 is old, it is more the passing of time and the inevitability of change. And i find it difficult to accept this. I feel sad a lot , i keep moving, keep challenging but im always looking over my shoulder at this tsunami of fear that sometimes engulfs my heart. My head runs away to the future , and i let it. Life is so different to the sub concious expectations and beliefs i have carried with me along the way. Is this period of change normal in everyones life? Or is this life forever? Do you ever know what you want? Do you ever get to a point of total acceptance? I am taking leaps of faith , i jumped a while ago but i dont seem to be landing anytime soon

How I did it: I got in a car, drove across Australia, chased the sun until it fell into the ocean in a west coast sunset, i have never dived so i let it get away in the ocean … Read how I did it…
I really do love my life, the freedom i have to create the life i want. The support i have wherever i go. I am in an amazing place on my journey right now. I am in a new city , i dont really know many people and i am hearing more clearly what it is i do want. I have faced a lot of fear i didn’t know i had and i love it because its bringing me back to myself , what i want, how i want to live my life.
for the generosity of a friend in opening up his home to me,thankyou!
for the warming welcome from friends of friends who i had never actually met before, i ended up spending a lot of time with them and had a very happy christmas!
for the smoothness of lindt chocolate.
west coast sunsets
for the beauty and comfort in true friendship
