I'm months away from the big quarter of a century... the big 25. I know that's still considered young - but I'm just like anyone at a certain age I'd expect myself to be more established and have my life more figured out. I remember when I was 12, 13, 14...

''When I'm 25 years old and an adult - I'll have money, my life figured all out, and everything will be perfect.''

But looking in hindsight - this was far from the case. I always waiting for something to happen.. and waiting is exactly that... waiting. Waiting for an opportunity, relying on something/someone to come and save me from my troubles; and guess what?

That day never came.

I spent five years in University for an arts degree that I don't use - because it made my parents happy, it made me not want to let anyone down, because it was the right thing to do because everyone else was doing it?

I spent five years in University with the same mentality - a structured path that led to me no where because I didn't have a definite path. Fast forward to convocation and getting that overpriced piece of paper - I finally decided to chase my passions - video and the love of film. 

It's been one hell of a roller coaster - with constant up and downs but I'm glad to say I've learned a lot more about myself because I took action - and for all the other 24, 25, 26 year old's who haven't figured it all out yet - guess what? You're not alone because I'm still trying to too. Love the journey, have purpose, and work hard - but at the same time pull from the other side - live life - be happy to you're life and take it day by day. Something I'm still learning.

So here I am almost at 25 - failed in my dreams but still here - and that's one thing I can cross off - be a quarter of a century
but at the same time - time to figure it out - time to take action - and create purpose not find/nor wait.
