Now the key emphasis is on
‘learning’ there, because I’m not
sure that we ever feel our age, nor
do we ever feel like we completely
have a 100% understanding on life.
That is the one thing that I know to
be true at the grand age of 29 – you
never stop learning. Whether it’s
facts and figures, problem-solving
techniques, or you finally work
out how to expertly apply eye-liner
(please feel free to share), there’s
always room for development.
Here are two things I’m still
working on – how have I done?
I’ve spent my life being such a
people-pleaser; always looking to
appease others, whether I agreed
with their actions and opinions,
or not. It’s a work in progress,
but going forward it’s something
that I really want to improve on.
Standing my ground, being more
assertive where necessary, and
learning to have a stronger stance.
I think this confidence in your
own beliefs is something that
comes with age, but being the
neutral-ground lover that I am, it’s
something that’s going to require
some effort, too.
(shudder), and not to feel guilty for
stepping away from work when it’s
time to play, because you’re never
going to regret finishing early
one evening to go out for dinner,
a film, a meal, a walk round the
park – those moments are the
cherry on the top and hey, I have
an extremely sweet tooth. >>>The other thing that I’m learning
is how to step away from work.
Being a blogger, my home life,
work life, and social life, can
become a little tangled, and so I
really hope that I’ve managed to
find some balance between them
all. That I’ve learnt not to have my
phone in my hand five hours a dayLife has a funny
old way of turning
things completely
on their head,
providing challenges
which hurt like hell
sometimes, but
can often give us a
