When I was 26, a year after I smashed up my knee, whilst still kind kf in recovery from a mental breakdown, I became a University student.
I never believed I was academic. I never believed I could study and create the kind of work required. But something in me said go, and so I went.
I started a four year course, with the first year being some slightly more beginner stuff for older students, foreign students, and others who hadn't quite got the required A level results.
And I surprised the hell out of myself over and over 🤷
I'm a bit more risk averse these days, I'm past my "I feek like a change if scenery so i can moving to a totally new place" and "Moving to a new country with my gf of a few months, who is from there? Yeah why not" stages. But I had to do a lot of slightly drastic things, in order to find enough of myself to just sit the fuck down and chill 😂 Not that i'd say no to a new adventure necessarily, I'd just need to know the ground beneath me is solid, and have my people and my furballs along with me. It was just me for a long time, but not anymore, and that's more important.
The birdsong in your voiceover for this understood the assignment! Beautiful 🥰
At present, there are a multitude of things that feel like a leap of faith for me. No longer being afraid to make noise and be heard has to be the biggest one currently. Acceptance. X
Oh heck just one?
OK!

"But something in me said go, and so I went." Loved all of this but this line stood out. When you know, you know.
