Almost 7 years of writing, I had a false ending which I've renamed interval. But this is where I bow out. Across the 80 or so excerpts and posts I've tried to give the world a flavour of my journey.
This blog was created with the single purpose to share learning purely because I knew I was experiencing things which so many others weren't. I don't know if my rambles, and now public internal monologue are helpful, useless or much of an interesting read. What I do know, is my journey is exactly that- mine. From the work I've done, and huge number of young people I've been around I've seen the pride and growth taking place through the journeys of others. I may have had experiences that others haven't, or won't. But there are more opportunities and experiences waiting to be taken and enjoyed which certainly weren't there 7-10 years ago.
Whilst I'm grateful for the 11k+ views and reads, I didn't anticipate for how much I needed this space to appreciate and really grow from everything which I've done.
On reflection, and reading back through moments which I guard as some of the best days of my life, the ones which changed the direction of who I am and want to be- I am able to really recognise the person who I've become and have my own story word for word to revel in again, and again.
If you've been keeping up, you'll know I made a major life decision a few months ago. Which led to Youth Council taking up my every waking moment. This now leaves me with a time of quiet, to consider a measured and assured next step. A natural end where the monologue needs to become dialogue.
Life has taken me some amazing places, the same thing has brought me home. To start my next adventure. And to carry on living my purpose without a role defining the boundaries, for now.
Thank you for reading, and silently joining for the ride.
See you in the arena, if you're coming.
