Hello... is it me you're double-clicking for?

‎​"There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on."

Hellooo...is this thing on?

Well, I am officially back from my involuntary sabbatical from what I love doing, (who DOES that, right??) I feel free...almost child-like, oh who am I kidding, completely child-like. Completely caught up in this dark labyrinth we call life, ok, that was bordering dramatic but I'm sure you can identify with that feeling of utter "I-Dont-Know-Where-The-Fuck-I-Am-ness" of your mid twenties. Utterly mortifying I tell you but at the same time bliss dressed up in hedonistic garb.

Some of us have a sport which we absolutely loved and no less excelled in at school, but by the time you get to your last year of high school, puberty, teen angst,future plans have got you so tightly within their sticky fingered grip that you forgot all about that little passion. Which might have become a bigger passion, had you honed it. It takes kahunas to hone. I plan to cultivate and grow a pair.

It's been nearly three years since my last post and my have things changed. Not only in my life, but in the world. America now has a black President, my childhood hero and supreme teacher of the crotch grab toe stand move has passed on to that big amusement ranch in the sky (RIP MJ) and social media has advanced so rapidly, that we almost ALWAYS know exactly what's happening, while it's happening. Everything has become streaming thanks to my little blue feathered friend I like to call Twitter and news, events,disasters,tragedies spread faster than you can say "viral".

It's amazing really, and it's absolutely everything which we, Generation Y, could ever want out of life. Everything needs to be quick and fast. Instant gratification, our cars, our food,our women, our internet connection. It's almost unheard of to say to someone, "Slow down", you're most likely to be laughed at and told to get out of the way as you're in their Wi-Fi area.

In stark contrast to all these new ideals of being 'well-connected', part of the nu-wave social media culture and all the other jargon regurgitated by those in the know, I have undergone some changes too. I had a look at my previous posts and cringed all shades of beetroot when I read some of the *ahem* "content", but I decided not to delete it, because those experiences, those words and those tequila-tinged adventures, are what ultimately makes me who I am. Authentically me.

Life as I know it now is calmer, but not subdued. Relaxed, without being comatose and way, way, WAY more opinionated. So kick back and take this new adventure with me, I'd love to hear your thoughts (yeah, I'm more thoughtful now too, Noddy badge!)

More to come!
