I’ve found that this year the biggest change has been within. I feel a little wiser (maybe that’s what turning thirty does) and yet more than ever I realise how little I know. I look back at my past experiences and feel foolish about mistakes I made or the frivolity with which I made certain decisions. I’m hyper aware that everything we do today sets the tone for tomorrow.

2018 has been challenging; emotionally, professionally, spiritually, artistically and existentially.

So, as the year comes to a close it felt right to make my final 2018 blog post about some lessons that hit home this year. There have been many though, my goodness, so this list is only a few.

Since leaving my Monday to Friday, 9-5 media agency lifestyle, I’ve had to let go of the stability, both financially and in terms of routine, that came with it. I am using some of my savings to move into this new life which has been a calculated risk I decided I just had to take for once and for all.

This has been disorientating and liberating. Adjusting to a new way is taking time and time itself has been as elusive as always. I feel a sense of freedom I have never felt before. However, as is with life, there are restrictions framing the situation I am currently occupying.
