Welcome to my space, now I'm 25 and by societies standards I'm an adult, but to me I feel like I'm still a child acting like an adult. Now I don't mean this in the immature sense (well not mostly) but in the sense that I still feel lost. In today's world we are meant to believe that your adult life starts as soon as you leave education and from this you must have a chosen career path, your own place, a car and maybe even a cat / dog / pet / whatever your into but even if you had all these would you still feel like you were on the right path, the right path for you.

As I said I'm 25 and I do have a few of these, unfortunately not a cat or dog but I'm working on that. As a person I have doubted myself and pushed myself into career paths and changes, like most people, wouldn't normally chose to do and in doing so I might not have found my perfect life but I have found myself.I now know that I'm still searching for that thing / that person I'm meant to be and as scary as it is not knowing in a place like London it gives me a sense of adventure, it gives me a sense of peace.Life is for living and luckily for me I have travelled and even though each time I have came back broke I wouldnt change it for the world, your memories and experiences are what make you who you are and I'm proud to say I'm happy with the person I've become and the person I'm becoming. As any other 'young adult' in this world I am scared and I do worry but not without hope because with hope you can overcome the bullshit life puts upon you (pardon my french) and it's ok if you don't have it all worked out at 25 (or older), it's ok if you don't have the house you've always wanted, it's ok if you haven't got that damn cute cat or dog ( as you can tell i really wabt a pet) because as long as you have hope that one day these things things will happen then eventually when your ready it will.

I don't know why I'm writing this or why I've decided to speak out now but as long as you know that life has a funny way in working out then you'll know that it's ok to feel lost at times, it's ok to not fit in and it's ok to take things at your own pace.
