Well, here we all are again...
So here we all are again at the tail end of another year.
Older for sure and hopefully wiser.
I get mixed emotions at the end of every year.
I feel sad to leave behind the good times, and looking forward to moving on from the bad.
I feel both hopeful for on experiences on offer in the year ahead and reminiscent and grateful for the experiences just passed.
I am sad that this is going to be my last Christmas with my family for God knows how long and that my Mum isn't here to share it with us.
I am hoping I can keep it together on Christmas day, and that I don't think too much about the fact that once I move back to Vancouver, I probably won't be able to afford to come home for Christmases.
I'll feel it most when I see my Dad.
Our relationship has grown so much over the last couple of years, I think I'm going to miss him the most.
I know he'll be sad when I leave and I know he loves Laura too.
I'll also be sad to leave this job behind. They are paying me so well, and I'm doing so well here. It'll be a shame to give that up to go work in a coffee shop or book store or something like that, but on the flip side, my thinking is; it's probably a blessing in disguise because I sure as hell don't want to do Insurance for the rest of my life and maybe this will force me to be more tenacious in persuing things that I want to try and do, even if I fail and suck miserably at them. At least I'll be crossing them off my list!
Now I am not one for making resolutions, but I do need to be more pro-active next year when it comes to work.
I'm going to be thirty next year and I don't think I'll ever be content with the idea of "working for the man."
Money is an issue also, but I get the feeling I wouldn't be bothered so much by that if I was doing something that I was both good at and passionate about.
I just want to find that one thing that I love and that I can live off and that's going to be my main priority for 2011, even if it means taking some risks.
Life's too short to subscribe to the daily grind and be okay with it and I don't think the corproate world will miss me.
So good bye Layla 2010 and hello to Layla 2011.
I wish you all a wonderful Merry Christmas and an amazing, fulfilling 2011 and beyond.
Sayonara!
