So its fair to say I've been fairly slack on here recently. I guess sometimes you just loose your drive a little bit, you get a little caught up in life and you don't really give yourself the breathing space to just sit for a little while and reflect.
I want to write about some things that have been thought about recently, just little thoughts on a Tuesday morning as I sit here blaring music in my PJs (living the high life).
Sometimes life doesn't go to plan, in fact most of the time life doesn't turn out the way we once envisioned it, and that's ok. We have this big overlook on life and we plan things like where we will live and what job we will be doing and who we will share all this stuff with but usually it never goes to plan.
Sometimes things change, sometimes what may have looked like the road ahead once before, now looks like a dead end, and that's ok too.
Something I've always gone by is to go with your gut feeling with everything. If you get a real good feeling about something, then go for it. For me, I tend to see a picture of a beautiful place and then I just wont drop it and I will do everything in my power to get myself there to see it.
Its also important to go with your gut feeling on that bad things too. Sometimes things start to feel different, sometimes things don't seem so clear, like a job or a place you live in. Sometimes that thing just doesn't fit with the way your life feels at this moment in time. Sometimes things just don't make you happy anymore.
My mum always gave me advise and always said to me that "If you don't know, don't do anything" and I have always gone with that advise. If something isn't sitting right in your head then think about it, and then think some more and work out how its making you feel. If you get that good gut feeling then try and make it work for you, but if you get the negative gut feeling then listen to it and act on it.
It becomes scary letting go of things you've been used to for so long. Letting go of your "norm" is bloody terrifying but sometimes it has to be done to let you move forward with wherever your journey is.
I am so lucky to have incredible people around me while I'm at home. My family, my friends, the people I work with. There really isn't anyone negative in my life and I feed off it so much. Surrounding yourself with people that bring you up and bring out the best in you is what is most important. I am so lucky to have found a job that I absolutely love at the moment. The people I work with are just so full of life, the idea behind the company inspires me and its just a real buzz. I think it makes a massive difference on your well being if you're in a happy environment most of the time.
I'm at a place right now where it's been a hard couple of weeks and I'm getting myself back on track. There are a selection of songs that really make me feel something and I just have this urge to listen to them everyday damn day. Right now I have this huge urge to just see something beautiful and listen to these songs and just be in the moment, as cheesy and shit as it sounds I just want to feel something unreal. Twenty One Pilots - Ride and Kings Of Leon - Waste A Moment are just something else!
