2012 (& the end of the world?)

Because the entertainment industry made a film about 2012 bringing the world's end, I made the choice to really make the most of my life this year... Not that I actually bothered to watch the film, nor have I not been fulfilled by my lifestyle so far. I've traveled to about 24 countries (counting off the top of my head) and have met the most amazing people. I'm going to go as far as to say that I feel blessed, but on the other hand it is but only human nature to want more out of life, am I right?

I am currently working on my first novel, learning how to play an instrument (banjo), and as ridiculous as this may sound coming from a 25 year old - I am learning to love and respect my body on both the inside and out. So far this year is shaping up to provide me with great new achievements and many new adventures, and I can't help but finally be happy with me. What an amazing feeling it is. I never could have got to this point in life without the help of every single person I have met along the way, because it is indeed true that every person you meet in life helps shape your path in one way or another whether you realise it or not. I believe that there is one person who took the largest role in shaping me into the person I am, that person is both my brother and now my best friend.

Aaron convinced me to travel with him 4 years ago now, and we traveled all through the America's and met many different faces along the way. Not only did this trip open my eyes to a world of diverse cultures, but it also made me realise that the whole work, save, house plan was never my own - there is just too much fun to be had gallivanting the world! Since the first big trip I have been abroad by myself one time, and traveled parts of Europe and Asia with my brother (again). And currently I have one month left until I leave for Los Angeles to spend the summer getting the creative juices flowing with some of the most wonderfully creative souls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I'll also take 2 weeks to see Aaron in his soon to be 'new home' London, not to mention catching up with my number 1 (it's been almost 2 years since we first met - abroad of course).

I can't finish this entry without mentioning my friends and family at home in Melbourne. You are all such inspirational and beautiful souls, that not only mean the world to me but also make me feel comfortable to go out and experience the world and KNOW that I always have a home with you.

I guess I'm getting soft in my old age ;)

Left foot, right foot.

Life doesn't stop for anything, it really is that simple. You just have to keep rolling with it, one foot after the other, although I have to admit I don't mind the idea of an out of body experience, watching life like you watch the old idiot box. Surely you have all had that thought, in which something happens in life and you feel like "Shit, is this real? Am I here?!" or alternatively you just wish you were watching someone else's life, because this surely is not happening to you. I've got to say I don't really have any direction with this particular rant, I'm just having a nice verbal vomit of it all, and sometimes that's all I need. I just wonder if anyone ever has these moments. Or maybe I need to reevaluate my thought process?

I'm almost positive my cat thinks he is a human, I don't think that makes him crazy, just even more so charming to me. Sometimes I like my men to think they are a cat. No. Not really. I don't like things to be 'regular' life isn't meant to be ordinary. Sometimes all I want to do is dance. Do you ever wish life could be a musical? Sometimes I do, than I quickly realize that it would actually annoy the joy out of me. No one likes musicals that much, I don't care for your rebuttal.

I try to appreciate everyone I meet in life, even those whom you can't help but label a baboon. Everyone has something going for them, even if you don't see it - someone else will. I know this is ridiculous, but I can't help but pick apart every little thing in my mind - or just go forth in living the scenario out in my head. Sometimes when someone doesn't respond to a message (social media or mobile) I think that person is pissed at me, or worse so - bored of me. The latter it can't be, surely it can not be! I'm anything but generic, or at least I like to think I'm not.

Anyway I guess I'll just keep moving forward, try not to clog my mind with useless worry, positivity is the key. I know who my people are, and I believe that they are brilliant, interesting and the best of the worlds crop. Left foot, right foot... Yeah, we've got this down.
