If you had have asked me two years ago if I would ever be able to run 5kms non stop, I would have probably laughed and answered something along the lines of “Not in this lifetime, buddy.” And yet, for some unknown reason, come the beginning of each year one of the top things on my goal list has been running related (usually running 5km). Although I never thought I’d do it, having it there meant that I hadn’t given…
Well, to say that 2017 has been a big year is an understatement. Between graduating, moving back to my home town, starting a career, a solo trip to New York (and a few domestic trips somewhere in between), buying a house, moving into said house, and getting into a relationship, I can’t exactly say that I have eased myself back into life after practically isolating myself for 12 months to complete a rather full on Masters degree. I was talking…
So, it seems a fair few of my friends are going through a bit of a quarter-life crisis at the moment. I know the feeling all too well, having had my quarter life crisis early. At that time, I was still living at home, I quit my job without anything lined up, threw myself far too quickly into a relationship that ended in abrupt heartbreak, decided to join the defence force, changed my mind (thank goodness) and decided to move to…
The last few months have been a rather interesting time in my life. I have definitely stepped out of my comfort zone in a lot of areas, uprooted and continuously messed with any notion of routine, and thrown myself into a job completely different from anything I would have expected to do after uni (why would anyone get a job related to their degree?). I have had some amazing opportunities, travelled to some amazing places, been able to strengthen some…
So, the last few months have flown. And they have been so incredibly full, that I have been so guilty of letting this little piece of my life untouched. I feel as though I have come back from New York with this renewed energy and focus on adventure. I’ve been a tourist in my own city almost – going to local shows, going on adventures with friends, and generally filling in life with all the wonderful things about home. Getting…
Over the past few years I have developed the habit of emailing friends instead of texting or even calling. It started as a way to keep in touch with friends living overseas, and but since expanded to friends living down the road. As someone who finds writing comes as naturally as speaking, I absolutely love it. And considering that practically everybody loves mail (even the digital variety), so do they. Unlike text messages which are usually an instant response to a…
Well, I did it. I finally bought a new camera. And I think have made a very, very good life decision. Although it’s taken me longer than I would like to admit. There are lots of benefits to be a natural researcher. Of course, the major one is that I get to learn bits and pieces about all nature of things. You make better decisions because you weigh up the pros and cons, and get to see the best options.…
