A few things I find on my daily walk with the dogs.

Alterations needed.

It has been too long since I last posted anything. Thinking about it, I have not got the best of excuses, but one in which I am sure many people will tell you who live in London...so busy working, travelling, seeing people...no spare time or moments to stop and think. Trapped in a comfort bubble, but not overtly happy with everything they are doing with their lives. Many people will say they love London and everything in it, that their job is just okay and that they just get by. However all I ever hear is people complaining and moaning about lack of money, their work, London transport systems, expensive rent, crime, how miserable everyone looks/acts and the weather.

When I reflected on what most people were saying I realised that I also had become trapped in my own comfortable bubble...I had always hoped I would never enter this mundane lifestyle just in order to 'get by' in life. I therefore made a bold decision to leave London and pack-up everything I had there. It was an idea I had thought about on and off but never carried through, however it was either now or never. I was not getting anything productive done in London and my design work and everything I had previously worked so hard for and am so passionate about kept being pushed to the back of my mind. The only way to dedicate myself to this once again and follow my dreams, was to move back home, therefore allowing myself time to concentrate on my work and save some money in order to do everything I have always talked about doing....

So that was 3 weeks ago and now I am back in the Valley living at home, clearing my head, working on my designs, planning my future plus saving money.

The lifestyle here is totally different, a shock to the system and even though London really is not far away from my friends and everything else that I loved about London are still there...I feel it really was a life changing decision and a risk I felt was well overdue. So since I have been back here I have been finding the things that inspire me, drive me and capture my eyes and ears.
