Oh, what is a summer anymore these days once you've entered into adulthood? College is over and soon mistakes are more frowned upon than ever. During this time we tend to reminisce on our youth and how we were once young, wild, and free. We vowed to never become the adult we have now become and we feel stuck, as though there is no way to reverse the life we now live. There is always time for change. Always a time to renew and to reverse our doings and make them into what we always imagined it to be. Taking the first initial steps are the hardest, but once we take them and finally make the leap of faith we always were once fearless to make then we live a life we love. When we were born we were born with no rules, we were born free. It is society that chains us and says, "welcome to the rest of your life, you must abide by these rules, act this way, go to school, graduate, get a job, get married, have kids, get old, and..." Why? It is amusing to me to ask this particular question as to 'why?' because I am living that mold in one way or another. Although I live this life to please others I have grown to understand that at any moment I can change it. I do not worry about bills, I do not worry about my job, all I know is that if I am truly happy then everything will work out on its own. Time and time again it has been proven. With this summer coming to a close it started with everything I could have ever imagined. I got engaged, I lived blissfully, but once I started to work I became run down. I love teaching but there are limits to every human being. This job has taught me so much about patience, and understanding. Kids will be kids, and there are times where you think raising your voice will stop them from being kids. That isn't the case, I am pretty excited of what is to come, and these acquired life skills will help me in the near future.
Every blog post I make I still repeat myself. Live Your Dream. Live Your Dream. Live Your Dream. And yet, I am the one being submissive, allowing myself to torture myself with things that do not bring me much joy. I have lived a quarter of my life already and time is still ticking. Not a moment should be wasted on what does not bring any joy, I just want to run and be free. I want to explore mountains, and see snow for the first time. I want to see the world and capture it all with my camera.
May I find the courage to believe in myself and to have many summers to myself where I can explore and grow. And may I find the courage to save up enough money to do all of the things I would love to do! :-)
xo,
Dom
