A bold title, I'll agree.
But I came across this post, called A Day In The Future, about 18 months ago and I still think it's the most awe-inspiring piece of writing I've seen on the internet, bar none.
I go back and re-read it periodically and every time, two thoughts hit me all over again.
1. I am so, so incredibly lucky.
2. I need to get rid of more stuff.
When I go to university, I'm going to try practicing my minimalist ideas properly. I'm only going to take things I need. If I find I've taken things I don't need, I'll bring them home and leave them here. I think I'll find it liberating. I can't wait.
On a side note, tonight is the start of my Easter holidays. I've got loads of work to do, but still, WOO HOO because I get some lie-ins! Cannot wait!!!
On a final side note, yesterday I got an offer from another university. Not the BEST one. But still... it gives me hope. Now there are two universities that want me. It makes me think maybe... just maybe... I must be at least passably OK if two universities are willing to take a chance on me. There's so few places, it surely must be a good sign. I'm still not getting my hopes up though. Whatever will be, will be.
thank you so much for sharing this blog - I hopped over and immediately connected with loads of it!!!!! It's a happy day when I find a blog like this, that makes me think and makes me feel jittery with excitement inside because it's like another connection in a world where I often feel lost. Enjoy your lie-ins and congrats on your TWO offers - you ARE good enough!!!!!!!!
