Rambling..

Howdy!

So I've decided (though I have tried many a time in the past) that I am going to ramble.

I do not know if anyone will read this..
But I feel like having a good write, so here goes!..

Okay.  My story.  So I'm not gonna go into crazy detail, because one, my memory is pretty pants (oh yeah I use lush lingo..) and two, it would probably bore you (whomever you may be..).  But what I will say/type is that I am from a little city in the South of England, I grew up being a pretty bizarre, yet normal gal (oh yeah here I go again, I'm "down" with it) and I was blessed with a pretty cushdy upbringing.
As a child, I enjoyed playing teacher and handing out paintings that I had previously made to the floor.  Vets was another, I'm pretty sure most of my stuffed animals had a hole in them from my surgeon skills.. Hairdressers, my Barbies fashioned plenty of abstract bob cuts.  Magician, yepp I used to perform shows to my mum and whomever I could convince to watch.  And many more magical professions..
I studied at school (as you do..), I was an average student (definitely preferring the arts) who had a nice group of friends.  The time came to choose what I actually wanted to do after this educational bubble, and I eventually decided to take the university route.  So that is what I did.  I studied Photography at a university in London.  I wanted to explore that big city I had visited on many a day trip, and begin to feel independence.
It was a bumpy road at times, but I completed my degree.
When I left uni I had a little summer job, but after that I knew I had to find something more lasting, which was a struggle.  I think it's never really easy when you leave uni, because ever since then you've been kind of pushed here and there (not physically one hopes!) and helped a little along the way, and then baaam, you've gotta deal with life!  Haha I sound super positive!  I know I had it easy, very easy in fact compared to some.  I'm just saying that it felt a little unnerving to finally be out of the education system.
Anyhoots, I said i'll make it snappy, so the short and sweet of it is that I actually ended up working in a field (not a real field may I add, that would have been rather nice I suppose..) completely different to my degree that I had spent so many hours, days and years achieving.  But that is okay.

I used to think I hadn't achieved much, I used to worry that I am at an age where I should know exactly what I am doing, or be very close to where I want to be.  But do you know what, I've realised that I am actually where I want to be.  I may not be a top scientist, an accomplished vet, or even a high flying photographer (can you say that!? I'm not so good with heights anyways!.) but I tell you what, I am happy, and I am me.  I am learning new things every day, and I know that through everything I have achieved, or failed at and struggled through in the past, I have learnt so much, and all of it (even the days where I felt at my worst) has made me who I am today.

That's enough story telling for one's premier blog post me thinks.


I hope wherever you are, whomever you may be, that you know that you are wonderful, in the words of Mr Mars, just the way you are.

Lots of lovage,

Me xx
