Hope

This is a crossroads for me. Like many other young people my age I'm faced with some seemingly life threatening decisions. Mostly career and love life related. I've just gotten to the point where I can no longer be led. There's only one way to do things now, my way. Problem is, I don't quite know what that is yet.


'Tends to feel like we're running out of time. Like we need to make that crazy money before 30 (I have no clue who set this stooopid deadline that everyone's now chasing - probably a rapper).

A friend of mine tweeted something that gave me a lifeline amidst my paper-chase panic. She wrote "I want a car", so a retweeted "Don't you mean NEED?" (Of course referring to my own feelings on the subject). Then she said (...and here's the gold) "I have everything I need, I would like a car." I paused as this sunk in and realised she's right. This was absolute madness. Most of us really do have what we need, we even have whom we need. We just let pop culture get to us. And frankly we're not being fair to ourselves. The people we're so busy trying to catch up with are constructed images (we all know this remember!!??)...it's honeslty not real. None of it, Hollywood, Santdon, Watch The Throne or what ever the source of your pressure. Relax, it's for TV.


I'm not saying success doesn't exist. I'm just saying maybe for now, it's enough to just work at it and hope for the best.

Hope, that's all.

I took this while I was in my home town a couple of months ago.
