Finally have a temp to perm job that I’m going to find terribly boring but it means MONEY! And regardless of how rubbish it is it’s still better than my last two temp jobs when I really couldn’t go back because I hated them so much they made me feel physically sick. It’s such a relief. And now I have breathing space in which to find a proper job that I can actually enjoy or at least, relax in.

I’ve realised that I do know what I want to do really. I have an idea of the path I want to take. I know that I am going to make plans to get there. I know I’m going to try more and more to be the person I want to be. I want to be myself.
I used to think I’d need a “five year plan” all set out for me in order to do this but I don’t think I do anymore. I know that I want to do thousands of things, meet new people, have good times, live a great life and all that. I want to help people.
I think my insistence on planning because I thought that’s what I had to do has been holding me back in a way. Sometimes you have to do that, but a lot of the time you just have to go out and take life by the horns. I’m going to try to do that, however much it’s hard because I’m so shy and introverted.
In a way, it almost doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re fighting to be happy. Giving as much as you can, and taking it all back in love and joy. I am passionate about so much and that’s what matters.
I hope that I can read over this when I next feel uncertain and realise that life is always uncertain… we always feel the winds of change blowing through, we just have to fly on them like a hang glider, not be buffeted about like a child’s balloon.
What I would like to do with the rest of my life, is be me.
