Well I am 6 sleeps out from taking my 1 way ticket to London. Yes it's starting to hit home well has for nearly a week now.
First was saying see you later to my grandparents, then saying goodbye to my Big Tez, and the farewells are still coming,the tears are rolling in and sometimes rolling out of my eyes for up to 3 hours. 6 more days of this and my eyes will be swollen to the eyeballs.
We all go through a stage in life of the what ifs, should I or shouldn't. For me 2013 came at me with a tone of bricks, lesson were learnt through grief , hurt and joy and everything thrown at me in 2013, but I got through it. Late 20's crisis sucks balls, but it wasn't until I stop putting the 't on the end of CAN.
So late last year in Dec I wrote down my goals and dreams as my 5 year plan has 2 years left and what I still had to do........... FREAK OUT!!!!
I learned that I don't have to be settled with a house come 30. I hate my job (that was going on 2 years) and I don't have stay there. So it all came to me London/Europe was always on my list and I was sick of apply for jobs and getting those "rejection emails" the self esteem grew lower and lower.
When I asked my aunty and uncle if they didn't mind have me over in London and I would love to come. And they said yes..... the storm cloud lifted and I found light. I set on a date Marchish.... then the mad sales came on and got 1 way ticket departing 16th arriving just, in time for St Pattys. Now important sort of entry into UK. I needed to apply for a visa, now those who have travelled with visa or don't know the fine print says make sure you have visa before booking non refundable flights.... well we know I like to do things the hard way. But the visa came through with 4wks to spare!!. Now to sell everything I owned. You name it I have sold it.
So here we are, everything is sold, stuff packed up in boxes and got my backpack which 15kgs and my bike ready to take on the world.
People make think I'm crazy and can't keep my feet planted, and many more a stoked and proud. I can tell you a few things my head is always level because life throws you curves balls and I have learned to smash them, and I be sitting back in 15 years going hell yeah I did it and I took a risks and feds and turned it into opportunity. Life is about living not working your soul to the ground you can't get out of the dirt.
1 way ticket let's do this!!
