Too young for a midlife crisis?

So you may be asking yourself why should you start reading this brand new blog? Have a little read below and see what you think.

I can't decide whether I am having a small midlife crisis or my "adult chip" has finally activated in my brain, either way I recently started to panic. Where is my life going? I should be happy. I am in a great relationship, I have a roof over my head and food on my plate. So what is bringing me down ? At the moment I am working in retail and I hate it! This is not what I want to do for the rest of my life! THIS is getting me down. The thought of walking through the corridor of doom at work just fills me with complete dread. So recently I started thinking, what do I enjoy doing? What would make me happy? Sadly I couldn't answer my own question. I went from being a child and having different hopes and dreams every other week to being a robot, doing the same mundane things every single day. Maybe this is part of being an adult? Who knows. I just know something needs to change within me and fast.

So I thought back to when I was a child and asked myself what did  I enjoy doing? What did I want to be when I was a "grown up?" My results always came back to the same idea. I enjoyed reading. I enjoyed learning new things. I enjoyed writing. I still very much enjoy all of those hobbies. So over the last couple of weeks I have been thinking about the direction I want my life to take, where do I want to be in a years time? Or two years?
I've decided to try and become a writer, and before you say it, i know it won't be easy to do, but what is? Why shouldn't I  be one of those people that love their job? So I'm going for it! I want to write articles, I want to write stories, I want to write about anything and everything!

So now, on my 26th birthday I have decided to write this blog. I feel like I am on the verge of a very exciting year, big things are coming and this will be a great way for me to document it.

In around two weeks I am starting an English course at my local adult education centre, which I am very excited about. I have also started to write my very own short story. It's still very much in the early stages, but I hope to put up my first extract in the next couple of weeks. It would be utterly amazing to get some feedback on it! I will also be writing articles on current news stories from my home in the U.K to news from all over the world. Also any stories that happen to catch my eye.

So to sum up my original question, why should you start reading this? Because this blog is going to be my journey over the next year, cliché and cheesy I know. It won't be pretty, and I am still very new at writing so there will be mistakes. But maybe you have stumbled upon this blog, its late at night, you can't sleep, maybe you are asking yourselves the same questions? Let's make the next year count and grab life by the balls!

So thank you for reading my ramblings and I hope you enjoy my blog.

Stick with me, I might surprise you.
