A Year for Bravery

My life is okay at the moment. I have a job and a nice room to rent and great friends and family. I don’t have that much to complain about, really (although, my brother would argue that that doesn’t seem to stop me).

But I want to live a great life. A big life. A life full of crazy stories and adventures and opportunities. To make that happen, I have to make a few changes, which has led to me deciding to move overseas by myself this year.

I’ve decided that I’m capable of doing it. I can make new friends and I can succeed at a new job and I can make a home for myself, wherever I go, while looking back, with love, at the home I leave behind. I know I’ll be okay, because wherever I am, I will have art and music and the ability to create. I’m not sure if I believe the school of thought that thinks “everything happens for a reason”, but I do believe that I have the power to make the best of any situation, and that good things are on my horizon. 

I believe that I deserve more than just an “okay” life. I deserve a life that I feel loves me back. A life where I get to do what I’m good at and feel appreciated for it and make beautiful memories along the way. That’s what I’m chasing.

2025 will be full of filming and photography, open mic nights and jam sessions, quick sketches and paintings and more interesting ramblings about the aforementioned adventures.

2025 will take a lot of courage, luckily, I’ve gotten pretty brave.
