I live by two simple mantras.
1. Life is really, really long - Jimmy Fallon
2. We'll never know, if we never go - ...a friend's cover photo
They guide me well, however, there are still things that I want to do, and these things seem to linger on my already muddled mind. You see, my mind is often filled with long lists. As a journalist I write my work things down in lists to avoid this... but my life things? Like the simple things I want to try or do, are often left to stay up in there - bothering me.
Having these things hanging around makes me feel like I can never get on top of things - as the list of things I want to do keeps growing and growing. On this list are also things I've left behind, things that created my identity as a a teenager, things that I miss about myself.
So how do you resolve this? How do you take back you brain and your 'life things'? Well for me its this blog. I want to try new 'life things', or pick back up the things I left behind. There will be no timeline in doing this and some weeks it might just be about maintaining something, or perhaps about realising I can move on from the thing I had wanted to try, and wasn't for me.
What's on your list?
Laura, xx
