Reflection: Start at the beginning

I'm not really sure how to start this post, but I guess I can tell you what this is gonna be. I intend for this post to go live either every week, or every other week, and I plan on it being a diary-style. It's called 'Reflection' and that's as simple as it is, It's a reflection on my life, the struggles I'm going through, the things I enjoy. I plan on keeping this series going for a good while, letting you follow me on any journeys I go on in life.

It sometimes seems that the bloggers of the world are quite successful, and therefore are quite sufficient with money, and they have what they want in life (at least for now). I thought it might be a bit refreshing to hear life from someone who isn't exactly sailing through, but I'm loving life to it's extent, as much as I can.

So let's just talk a little bit, I don't necessarily think I'm writing this for everyone in the world to read, but maybe just as an outlet for myself, my life and emotions. If someone happens to read this, then great. If they can take my words and experiences and let it help them in any way, then that's even better. So here goes...

Now that I've graduated and I'm unemployed, life seems to just hit you out of nowhere. Suddenly money becomes so important and you realise that you don't really have any. Everyone knows that the solution to this problem is 'Get a job!'. Saying that is all well and good, and getting a crap job with no future prospects that's gonna make you feel awful everyday is not what anyone wants. Especially me. I don't want to get into a job, and then thirty years down the line I realise I've had no career and that's it. For some people, that's okay, get a job with decent money and focus on your family. For sure I want a family, but I don't want to wake up every morning feeling horrendous and not wanting to go in because I want a healthy mental stability.

To be completely honest, I feel a bit lost in the world recently. I'm working a voluntary job (actually it's only a 2 month placement and I only have three weeks left), don't get me wrong, I love working there. The people are lovely and I'm doing something I enjoy, but as I said, it's voluntary, and going to be ending soon. Luckily I have a job interview there for an internship on Wednesday! Because of this interview, I've been looking at tips to do well, and one of the questions often asked is 'Where do you see yourself in five years' time? Honestly? I have no idea...  I know that I want to have a family in that time, and hopefully get married but career wise? That's a good question. There's nothing wrong with taking life in it's stride.. surely? I like to plan my days and weeks to be organised, but I don't think I want to plan my life out on paper...

That's all I got for now. Are you struggling with the 'ultimate 5 years' time' question? Do you know what you want to do with your life? Comment below, only if you want to.

Bye!
