March, April, May, June; July would soon be ticking away and boom. Half the year will be gone. Before I know it, Christmas will be here again and I won’t have done what I set out to do back in January 2018.
Write.
In January 2018, I decided, like many of us do, that I wanted a change. After a relatively dreadful New Year’s Eve alone in an empty house I had grown to dislike, I was determined to make things more interesting in 2018. So, I investigated new parts of London, hunted for a new job, quit my old job, bid farewell to my university town and moved to West London.
Relocation, Relocation
By February 2018 I was ready to go. It had not taken long. I packed up my things, moved house, took a quick trip to Abu Dhabi and started my new job in mid March. Unfortunately, that very job didn’t work out and 10 weeks after starting, I was advised I was being let go due to financial crisis within the company. Fantastic.
I had uprooted my whole life for this new opportunity. I had added hundreds of pounds to my monthly expenditures. Termination was immediate. I headed for home.
By the time I had reached my bus stop, it had started to rain. The day just kept getting better, but I knew London didn’t want to consume me. It was time to do what I wanted. No more stuffy jobs with menial day to day tasks and dry office conversations. It was time to do what I wanted. It was time to be humble. It was time to make a fresh set of mistakes. It was time to chase my dream.
After a less than desirable university experience, I have decided to jump on the blogging bus.
Hopes for my Blog
I have created this blog as a way to keep track of my portfolio, share my stories, experiences and hopefully meet some new creatives. As I write this, I am sitting in the park on a sunny afternoon. The air is warm and the sky is blue. The park is empty because it is a Monday afternoon.
Peaceful and glorious, I know I have made the right choice. It will be this moment that I need to remind myself of when, in a few months time, I am sitting at my laptop on a rainy Wednesday thinking ‘why the blooming heck did I decide to do this again?’
Let’s see what lies ahead.
Ellies London 
You go girl
Follow those dreams and don’t let anyone ever tell you you can’t
As George Michael said the only person who can make you happy is you
Love you
