Time is a funny thing... it can either change alot or change nothing at all. For example, I have just spent the weekend in London with my closest friends from university, which doesn't sound strange at all except for the fact that a few of these I haven't seen in months!! My point is that even though so much time had passed and we are all doing so many different things when we are all put in the same room time hasn't passed, it is as if we're are still in university together. I think it's amazing how you can not have contact with people or see them in ages and within two seconds of being in their presence you realise that time is not a factor at all and it is the same as it always was. I guess that is the test of true friendship and I am very lucky to say that I have several friends who have passed this test.
Lately I have been thinking about where I am going to be in a year's time. Obviously I have no intention of staying in the job I am in now purely because it's not what I want to do with the rest of my life and I know what I want to do and where I want to go. The question is how much of it will go the way I want it to? I have to have a plan, I have been through a stage where I broke free from my secure plan to see what it felt like and it was so scary and now I am trying to pull myself out of the rut it got me in. Having clear ideas about things makes me feel safe and makes me feel like I'm going somewhere and I have a good reason for it but more than ever, especially after this last month, I know nothing ever goes to plan and you can't count on anything, you just have to be prepared for the unexpected... what a scary thought!!
Where has the time gone? And when did I grow up?
