For a while, I just felt like giving up.
I didn't give up, instead I looked for things which made me happy and motivated.
#1 My best friends, ALWAYS motivate me. They just make my heart all warm when I'm down in the dump. They endure every single one of my silly rants, and they give me the occasional kick in the backside when I'm being stupid. Love you guys!
#2 A good colleague/friend of mine. He doesn't read my blog, in fact I don't think he even knows about it - so I'm good to go.
He opened up about a personal experience, which made me realise that it's okay to be scared. In fact, it's pretty normal. He also told me that a hill may be hard to climb, but the feeling of accomplishment once you've reached the top is something that'll make you forget your difficult journey. (If you ever do read this, thanks a bajillion!).
#3 My mum. Without her babying me during the times I need to be babyed - I think I'd be in pieces. I love my mum. So much. She's an incredible woman.
#4 Death. I think death is one aspect in life that's shaken me. It's incredible to think about amazing people and what they have accomplished in life before passing.. and then to think about all the incredible things you can do yourself, it just makes me motivated. If I can help one more person move forward in life - in any way that I can, I'll do it.
I'd like to write more, but maybe I'll keep it for another time?
