I've spent the last hour reading about the adventures of my younger self. And gosh, the writer of the blog entries in 2007 seems SO much younger than me. What fun I had. What promise the future held. What the hell happened to me?
The present me seems much more weary, less joyful, more 'settled' (though I'm soon to be homeless again), less drunken (thank goodness) and more boring in general. Now that I've decided to revive this blog, it will be interesting to see if my life really is as dull as it's feeling right now or if it's just that I'm not documenting - and therefore not remembering - the good bits.
The odds aren't stacked in my favour. Here's a quick snapshot of my life as I see it this morning:
- Working in a job I dislike quite intensely
- Looking to buy a flat (a very grown-up thing to do which will further tie me into the aforementioned shitty job)
- Currently on a sugar/caffeine/alcohol-free diet and will be eliminating gluten tomorrow (woo-hoo party-girl!)
- Desperately wanting to start a side business to free myself from the shackles of paid labour, yet constantly chastising myself for having have NO IDEA what to do about it. I end up tooling around the internet looking at things and dreaming of freedom, while berating myself for not taking action to attain it
Game on!
