Take the Leap.

Have faith it will lead you somewhere. 

Somewhere is better than being in stasis. A chance or a leap, might not take you to where you want but if you stay put, you'll most definitely get no where. There is no betting on how well something will work out but if you're doing something you enjoy, it won't be in vain.

Getting out of a routine, isn't the easiest thing. In fact, a routine is the easiest thing to slip into. Almost like a nicely worn out t-shirt, frayed at all the right places, has a hole or two to make it breezy and feels like home. It feels like nothing can go wrong, especially if that is all you have been doing. Nothing of that is wrong, it's just that, there is so much more to life and there really is, so little time. 

Who doesn't want a good job? Who doesn't want good money? Who doesn't want a stable life? Who doesn't want to fulfill dreams and desires? Even so, how many of us have the courage to take that leap? That significantly huge leap. It might mean giving up stability, and/or certain responsibilities, it could truly change your life, but that is the thing, for better or worse? That always seems like the deal-breaker but can it really be measured in that sense? Not really.

In the past few months, i have been motivating people around me to start small projects to spice up their life. Working life can be a big rain-cloud but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have time to do things that you love and will make you love life as you should. If life was a game, think of all the secret achievements you have yet to stumble upon. No hacking.

2014 is coming to an end and i honestly feel that it was a year wasted for me. I only have myself to kick-in-the-ass for but i do have good memories of it. I am a crazy project-starter but admittedly, my attention span can be wanting, in which i end up with a handful of great ideas but none that have been completed. 

So i have decided to make all my future projects, the kind that doesn't have an ending to it, a continuously progressing sort of thing. That i am able to continue doing them, even though i may take...a little more time than most.

Me.

   A title befitting of a blog. Of my blog at least. I have been urged, time and again to start writing blogging. Procrastination and a lack of ideas put me off it. I blogged for a bit, back when one of my best friends went abroad to study, my blog was in some ways, for her to read. This, is for me. Myself to read when i need to be reminded, of who i am and used to be.

   When i was younger, i had a lot of faith and confidence in my way with words. I wrote nothing fancy, it was all just very simple, very much like myself. I've always felt that words that move you, were the ones that portrayed your thoughts in the easiest possible way to understand. No supercalifragilisticexpialidoxious (close enough) supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Plain and simple, does wonders.

   I don't know where my belief in my own writing went to nor when it went away but i do hope that this will bring it home. I am not expecting to move mountains and part seas with what i write, but i do hope to entertain and comfort with it.

   The main reason why i am writing again is because i had an epiphany. I had an epiphany that was cause by a dream. It was more like a nightmare but since it brought about this, i shall call it a dream. Even as i recall that dream, it still unsettles me a lot. 

   I have come to realise, that i, do not want to forget. It is inevitable (forgetting), for memories are very fickle. Some stay, some get distorted and some are just...forgotten. I have (as with everyone) people in my lives who make life a beautiful place and i do not want to have to blame my memory for not remembering them as they are, beautiful and precious.

   To a fresh start. I hope to achieve something with this, wherever it may lead me to.
