Something I hope to do in my life
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do with my life, and I’m not sure, I don’t have a long term career plan, at the moment I’m happy just where am I and happy seeing where things take me.
I did an exercise with a group that I was training last weekend, and it was a draw your life journey, getting to know each other thing. My past was easy, growing up in the highlands, idyllic childhood almost right out of an Enid Blyton book; moving to Glasgow, going to uni. My current was easy too, moving to Edinburgh, starting my real life job, and a few work achievements.
My future, that was difficult. I drew a wee house still in Edinburgh, as the next thing I’d like is to buy my own house (ok, it’s Edinburgh, I realise it’ll be a flat not a house). The next stage of my future was more complicated. I don’t know what I want career wise, but I do know that I want to settle down, get married, have a family and move back to the Highlands to bring them up the way I was brought up.
The thing I hope to do most is to have a family, and I hadn’t realised it until recently. I’m not broody at the moment, just as well since I’m single, but I really want kids. I want to make packed lunches, send them off to school, do homework with them, and help them learn to play instruments. That’s what I hope to do in my life. It might go against years and years of women fighting for liberation, but I’m happy with my career just now and am in no hurry to settle down. I just know that one day, that’s what I want.
She’s so lovely

Something I love about myself
I think I’m a happy person, I’m content, I’m usually smiling and it takes a lot to make me angry or stress me out (lets not talk about morning buses pre-coffee ok), and I think this is something that I love about myself.
I try not to moan about things, I take things in my stride and tend to just put my head down and get on with things. When I left high school school (scarily 8 years ago now) our head of year – someone I now call a friend (as well as a friends’ hsuband) made us all individual cards and wrote really lovely messages in them for us (he made me cry when I read mine). One of the things mine said was ‘when all around you is going up in trouble and strife you just walk on by’, and that was my guideline all through uni, and now into my real life. I figure if he noticed that during my time in school, then it must be a good trait and I try my hardest to stay that way.
When friends fall out, I’m in the middle, I stay neutral and I talk to both of them without taking sides. When I have a mountain of work to do, I just start the first task and keep going until it’s finished. When I get stressed I know to ask for help. I don’t let things get to me, I don’t get involved in petty things, and I always try to see the bigger picture.
So all in all, I love the fact that I can just get on with things, it’s a good way to be.
30 things in approximately, maybe 30 days…

So I found this meme via miss smidge, but it actually came from Girl Vaughn, and I think Miss America is doing it too. 30 things in 30 days, in previous attempts at these things I’ve not been very good, I get to about day seven and give up, so instead, this is just going to be a 30 things, in maybe around 30 days, or maybe a lot longer. By not having a timescale I hope I’ll actually complete it!
So the list of 30 things:
Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Day 04 → Something you have to forgive someone for.
Day 05 → Something you hope to do in your life.
Day 06 → Something you hope you never have to do.
Day 07 → Someone who has made your life worth living for.
Day 08 → Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.
Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.
Day 10 → Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
Day 12 → Something you never get compliments on.
Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter.)
Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)
Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.
Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.
Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
Day 22 → Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
Day 23 → Something you wish you had done in your life.
Day 24 → Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
Day 25 → The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
Day 26 → Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
Day 27 → What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Day 28 → What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
Day 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself
Wish me luck!
