Reflections.

Merry Christmas to you all. May the New Year bring you joy and happiness in abundance.

This week of course has brought around the Christmas cheer once again, as families around the world celebrated the 25th. This weeks post I warn will be rather short, as it is the time for family and I have decided to write much earlier in the week.

With that, I'll begin.

As Christmas time has rounded the metaphorical corner and past me by once again in it's almost hurried yearly fashion, I've been made so much clearer about the time we have on this spinning ball we call Earth. It feels as though yesterday I was counting down the days avidly until the time came around where I could open my presents, this child-like anticipation escaping me as I've grown older, wiser. The times we spend as a child, doing what children do, without a care in the world have already become distant memories. With my age making me evermore wary of how quickly these years pass, realisations are starting to take hold that throw up questions regarding success, fulfilment and satisfaction with how I believe I've spent my life so far and where it may lead. Gone are the days where I could sit back and relax, waiting until that next holiday to temporarily stop the steady stream of school work I used to be so accustomed to. Now being the adult I am success is something that needs to be chased and achieved, not merely given to the smartest student. With this being said, tomorrow is my first shift at work. Pizza Delivery. After a turbulent year spent with all sorts of people and searching for work in any way I could, I can finally say that I am employed, although casual, employed nonetheless. This year has taught me many things resilience, hard work and self-advocation because if I cant support myself, who can? With that being said I couldn't appreciate more the people who I've got to spend time with this year, thanks to all of you. To my readers thank you for being here to spend the journey with me. We'll never know what the future holds.
