Not another attempt to be philosophical.

To be honest I’ve got a few of these backed up now, some finished, some started and some just with a title and an idea, but I’m sure I’ll run out of inspiration soon so why scull when you can savour.

Half the time they’re started because I’ve had a thought that’s worth rumbling on about or I’m in some foul mood over something pointless. Like yesterday I saw a guy’s teeth literally kicked out of his head on a kids’ TV show, seriously society, what the fuck! But I’m sure I’ll get to that another time. 

Basically this little piece is a quick thank you before the next thing comes along to steal your attention. For some reason nearly 200 of you have checked out this blog over the past few weeks, some have even made the mistake of coming back and I appreciate it.  It’s half the reason I’m still doing it (the other half is because I’m an exceptional procrastinator when it comes to uni). However this is a little more than just a pat on your back.

Right now my life is in limbo. After 17 years of ABCs, attendance roles , times tables, Shakespeare poems, libraries, lectures and tutorials I’m about to finish my education and enter the ‘real world’, beginning a new era away from the safety and security of the familiar and the Sunshine Coast.

The original plan would’ve seen me settling into Hamilton Island for a two month stint before moving down to the only place I love more than home, Melbourne.  However, as some of you know life’s thrown a few curve balls my way to rattle the cage and disturb my balance. So I’m on a new path, one that’s faithfully followed not built. The end goal remains the same but beyond the next 3 weeks there are no plans.

Yet this uncertainty has given me time to reflect, look back on a life I’m so thankful to have lived and yesterday I realised the obvious. It’s the people in my life that have made it so wonderful, the friendship we’ve built, times we’ve shared and stories we’ll never tell. I’m not going to say I have no regrets or wish things weren’t different now but as I hopefully stare at a formless future, I can look back on a past with contentment and be happy to have shared it with all of you. 

So here’s to the future, may I not fuck it up.
