"After I graduated I found myself surrounded by people who were moving on in their lives; starting businesses, starting families. I'm the first person to tell people about not following what other people are doing, and not caring about what point in life they’re at. But I couldn't think that way for myself. I always told myself that I had lots of time, and I could do all that whenever I wanted. I realised that the real reason I said that to myself was because I was scared. Scared to do any of those things. After missing a huge opportunity last summer, I became miserable. Not having lived away for University, never had a serious relationship. I felt embarrassed that I never had it in me to ignore all of the little worries and go for it. So when my friend said she was going to Canada to work and travel, I instantly wanted to do it. I felt that I’d missed out on so many things in the past, and I have so little life experience compared to my peers that I needed to do this. She's not going anymore, but I still want to do it despite that. I always had an issue with confidence growing up, and its definitely affected me but it's also made me see that I've missed out on so much to the point where I don't ever want to miss out on anything again.”
