    It’s confusing, trying to figure this out. It’s a delicate subject, once you get to the end you can’t look back and re-do anything, even small, almost insignificant things. It’s a big decision, not one to be taken lightly. I know that I want to somehow make an impact on the world, leave something of me behind to be remembered. I’d prefer that it be a positive impact too, I’d prefer not to be remembered for accidentally inventing super-cancer or something. But I definetly dont want to be in medicine, too much schooling for me. Nah, I’d prefer to do something with people, maybe politics, social work, cop/firefighter/EMT, something like that….. i dunno, i’ll figure it out eventually.

    Ah, I just cam back to 43 things after a few years away. In the hugest sense, really. I’ve just spent a year and a half overseas, travelling and working, gone through the most amazing time of my life really. And it’s time to go through all of my goals and see a)if I’ve achieved them, or b) if they’re still relevant.

    So figuring out what to do with my life… I’m definitely closer. I worked out that music is the driving force, and having found that, I’m now trying to work out ways to make a shift into the music industry. Have work experience lined up at a record label, and have bought myself a guitar. For the first time in my life I can actually say I have something I LOVE, rather than ‘more or less like’, or ‘don’t really mind’. I wake up in the morning, and the first things I think of is my guitar, and I play it even before I’m out of my PJ’s.

    Ah, Such a weight lifted off, really.

    So what I whole heartedly advise for other people in this predicament is definitely do something out of your comfort zone. Get out of your life. Some people may view it as running away, but for me it was a chance to start fresh, without expectations and judgements.

    But can this goal ever really be ticked off? I don’t think I’m ready. Will see how this new path progresses…

    Live your life, for things happen for a reason. All heartaches and hardships are testing you, building you. The world knows not about struggle but about success. Every success in the world has a plan. Deceive your mind as having a plan, but through it all and after it all, its already figured out. Deep down in your heart there is a plan, take it, unravel it, examine it and follow it and no matter what, never lose sight of it.

    Wrong Job/ Wrong industry/ Wrong path  — 1 week ago

    I live with my partner and my 3 beautiful children which is great. We cant afford to get married. Money wise we struggle, and like most people I would like to be earning more money.
    I work in the clothing industry which at one point in Scotland it was booming, now its been on the downward slope for a while and there is no oppurtunities left. I am sick hearing about my mates getting promotion and new jobs with better pay so I need a career change. I have thought long and hard about this and I’m going to apply to go to night school to do engineering and hopefully get something out of that.

    Worth doing!

    alright so I had an idea today that may give me all the options. I’ll break it down into a few steps.

    1. Stick with my job at the moment.
    2. If at 20 I still want to go to university, I will go part time.
    3. If after 4 years I don’t see myself going anywhere with my job, I will continue my education or change careers.

    I’ve got it.

    Changing directions  — 2 weeks ago

    So from where I left off I only stayed in the Philly sublet for the month of June. Now I have decided I am going to go to NYC in the fall. That is actually where I really wanted to go and I think I was trying to settle on Philly. So…I am heading back to Georgia to regroup and head back up north in the fall. All in all I think even though I was only in Philly for a short time and spent some money…it helped to give me some insight on things. I think I am finally starting to zero in on what it is I want. I know the direction I would like my life to be heading. Although I am taking a step back for a few months (which I am still ify about)...it may work out for the best. Hopefully.
