a girl can have a goal, can't she?

Normally, I'm not too good with the goals - but this blog begins with a number of them. I'm not one for starting small and working my way up either, which could prove detrimental to this.
I guess we'll see, though.

I live in a town that calls itself a city, and find myself thinking that my life is microcosmic to this in some ways. To a certain extent, I also call myself one thing when I am in fact another. Not so much fooling others, rather trying to fool myself. So far this year I've made a million decisions, and they have either had a very small effect, or a deafening one. Don't get me wrong, I don't live by regrets; I just wish there was substantial evidence that I have actually been occupying the planet in the past ten months!

Although this is part of the reason I'm starting this blog, I have also been amazingly inspired by a few things recently. Namely:

  • an incredible girl, whom I unbelievably get to call my fiance. She amazes me every day with her love and spirit, and I feel luckier with every moment we spend together. Without knowing it, she taught me to live properly and to wholeheartedly give myself to anything I choose.
  • a cause I fell into - and the seventy wonderful people I met through the Zeroseven Roadtrip and Oaktree Foundation. I might address this in greater detail at a later date. Or I might not. Either way, it was one of the highlights of my life so far, and will never cease to be a source of motivation for me.
  • a few different people I've met along the way this year, who I've seen glimpses of myself in and still managed to like. In this way, they've allowed me to appreciate some small things in myself, and it feels strange! There is a beautiful soul on the other side of the world whom is like a sister to me - a talented writer and photographer; someone I wish I could embody more within myself. Closer to home, I found a confidante unexpectedly, whom will always listen and never judge. Lastly, I met a girl who never fails to make me smile, and always seems to be happy to see me!

So there's the inspiration and the goal.
Wish me luck!

Peace out x
