Part of Life 3

If you’ve been here for a while you’ll know, I had a ‘part of life’ episode where I thought my life was falling apart, and a ‘part of life 2

On today’s short episode I want to speak about searching for a moment while missing the one present. I know by myself that I am in constant

Part of Life 2

I was listening to a podcast the other day, called Life gets weird, episode ‘Be proud of the work in progress’ by Mary Stevens. And I felt t

To the girls in their early 20’s:

Be careful to not get too wrapped up in life, bills, stress, dead-end jobs, and entertaining men who can and will ruin your life if you let them. If you let these things consume you like most people do, one day it’ll be your 27th birthday and you will have no idea where the majority of your 20’s went, and will have nothing to show for it as you’re approaching the next decade of your life. You have your whole life to stress and worry, but not everyone has the advantage of being in their 20’s and using it wisely. Use your 20’s to design and create your life, and then plan it out. If you want to do something or try something, this is the time to do it.

The idea behind Evolve or Repeat is to create room to discover new things - ideas, interests, choices, opinions etc… to make life some sort of adventure, but also to be present. Lately I’ve been thinking about being present hence the question : do you ever get the sense that you’re standing by the side walk watching your whole life replay and you’re not a part of it?

Maybe this is a difficult question to ask, or topic to speak about. This is probably one of the things I’ve had on my mind for the longest of time that I cannot tell you exactly when I thought about it. Maybe it was because I was too exhausted by uni, chasing deadlines trying to get everything done in time that it felt like I missed out a lot of my life. Or maybe, it’s because I spent so much time doing nothing that it felt like I was doing something but then when I look back over the past 4/5 years it seems like I was just not a part of it. Not a part of life.

This is probably one of the most confusing things because I had these big things I wanted to do but somehow I haven’t done a single thing. I don’t think I really had big expectations of life besides living life to the fullest…

Nothing I have accomplished I ever dreamed about. It’s as if whatever direction the wind blows that’s the direction my life takes. There’s a lot of maybes in this life thing, now it feels like I’m having a midlife crisis.

My Evolve in terms of redeeming my life means to seize the day. To live in the now. I have a huge bucket list and I want to see it through.

The word redeeming makes this sound like ‘getting my grove back’, maybe that’s what I should do. But I didn’t have one to start with.
