No Pictures Today Sorry

I've just got to the point now that life is going back to normal after a couple of mad mad weeks.

Firstly it started off with the spur of the moment mountain bike trip to North Wales. Then it continued with finishing my part time job. I been working there for just over a year but there were no tears. We're guys, of course there were no tears. There were a few beers though. Always a few beers with the guys at work. Then it finished off with a quick trip to Falmouth. Which ended with a day of chilling which included hours and hours of how clean is your house? and come dine with me! If your not into your day time telly, they are rubbishy telly programs that are highly addictive.

All in all it was a great couple of weeks. Met some cool people, took some very nice pictures but most importantly i have started on the road to my next life. Which is really weird because for the last couple of years i have felt that i have been on a hamster wheel. 3 years of college, i had to start the year over again because i had to move to another college and a lot of doing nothing important is actually ending.

I am moving out and moving onwards. And i totally can't wait. Change is very important. It allows you to grow as a person. But most importantly, if you're in a rut (personally i am not) then it lets you get out of it.

Just a Thought!

I think i may have had my first adult profound thought. Let me explain a bit more about it. I have done a lot of things in the past few years. Traveling around South Africa. Mountain biking all over the UK. Lots of work experience. And many many other things. This made me think about how much i can remember about each of them. It turned out that i could hardly remember anything. Except key events like bad moments and moments that gave me a shock.

Thinking about this, something just hit me. Even though i can't remember the details of each place. I can remember really vividly lessions i learnt along the way. Even though it doesn't make all the details rush back. It did leave me with a feeling that i have learn from the experiences and make them all the more worth while. At the end of the day isn't that part of life, learning from experiences? Also isn't this why cameras were invented?

For me this is like milestone in my life. I no longer think "i don't want this to end". I can now look upon things that are coming up with the outlook of "it's great while it's happening but also look forward to taking something away with me afterwards".

I suddenly feel all grown up.
