ON THE ROAD

"Life was meant for good friends

 and great adventure."

This was our last bit of getaway before we returned to our books, with university starting straight after we returned home. Finally, our first holiday where all six of us were present. How difficult it is for six very different people, with different passions, interests and priorities to come together and enjoy three days away. One of us even brought her textbooks to study as she had a quiz the day we planned to return. And I left straight from work, hopping into the road trip car in my work clothes for that long 4.5 hour drive at night.  Now that's dedication to the gang. Our first holiday with the whole #squad present, and sadly probably our last, what with adult life kicking in.   

ZEN MENTALITY

"I want to be like water. I want to slip 
through fingers, but hold up a ship"

- Michelle Williams

 

Overthinking is so severely entrenched in the person that I am that there's no separation from it. I prefer the term: philosophical. That's why you read what I write isn't it? Because my head of thoughts is somehow interesting. But there is a certain level of healthy thinking and once upon a time it was too much, emotions exaggerated the amount of thinking necessary. Now I've learnt to let go a lot more, to just go with the flow of life and not overthink, because "worrying is a waste of time. It doesn't change anything. It messes with your mind and steals your happiness." 

RENEGADE

"We're riding through the dark night...

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil

You brought a fire to a world so cold...

We're running all the red lights down

No way that we can stop..."

- Duke Dumont (Ocean Drive)

You will never know where it will take you unless you give it a chance and open your heart to new experiences. There is nothing worse than 'what if'. Leave behind the excuse of 'can't, shouldn't, or don't have time to do something'. The most interesting events in my life occurred because I decided to over-commit myself, juggling work, study and social life. Yes, I feared I had over-committed myself and headed my way to failure, but instead it ended up motivating me and made me more efficient. I was living life on the fast lane: learning 10x more, growing 10x quicker, and ultimately 10x closer to success. Because honestly, as the epic quote goes "you have the same number of hours in a day as Beyonce".
