Well life's not bad..
Yep its had a few let downs.. and sometimes everything has felt like it was an uphill struggle when even keeping afloat seemed questionable but the tide appears to have changed,
as I ponder this un-original and lazy metaphor it's perhaps not life that has changed but more my interpretation of it that has undergone the transformation..
At very near the age of 30 I found myself thinking about what my life's amounted to. It would be easy to say not a lot. Financial I'm worse of now than I was 2 or 3 years ago and I have no job, again.
however the thought of this doesn't bother me like it would have done a few years back, and my life is not measured by financial rewards or goals, it measured in moments. Perfect memories of locations, times, friends, emotions, activities all intertwined and mapped out in the neurons of my brain.
The past 18months has been an adventure which I feel will mould the rest of my life.. and each experience in my life leading up to and including the past 18 months has played its part in my arriving at this point, this time, and this place in the state I am.
I've been aware that I'm getting older and that my ideals have adjusted and been constantly updated as new experiences and challenges have appeared, therefore my interpretation of my life and the experiences I desire have moved and changed accordingly. This is nothing new and is standard practice but it usually just happens on autopilot. Its rare to actually sit down and think about these things, and in doing so its nice to reflect on my life so far.
Whilst I'm not poor I'm definitely very far from being rich. I have a house.. well most of one. I have no major costs, I have my health.. my body still works the way it should do.. although it's a long time since reading the instruction manual but everything appears to be in working order. Arms, legs, fingers all bend in the right directions. Brain gets a bit cloudy from time to time but clears up after a cuppa tea. I have good friends who I have made along the way, and a few I have lost.
So despite almost being 30 I'm optimistic about the future, Enthusiastic about the places and the adventures I've have had so far, Energetic with excitement about the adventures I still want and know I will have, but most of all happy that I'm living my life honestly and happily and I have someone I love.
