Life’s like a filter.

Have you ever felt like your suddenly sitting down with yourself having a conversation about what’s happened? How old am I? How did I get here? Should I of done that? Where will I be in 10 years time? Will I have my house? Will I have children?

Well, recently I’ve had a lot of thinking time and I’ve realised life’s like a filter.

What do I mean?

I’ll explain,
When you’re in your teens it’s the most exciting thing to be old enough to go out and party and be an absolute mess! Dance till the early morning and feel sick till the next evening. So, you get there, enjoy it for a little while and realise there is more to life than wasting your hard-earned waitress money on feeling like utter rubbish. You graduate and get a job that was nothing that you expected. however,  you stay anyways cause the money’s good and it’s close to home. You make new friends at this job and realise your pretty good at it and it’s not too bad after all. Then you start to realise that an odd couple of people are decent so you give them your time and start to care. You let them in.

You’ve been at this job a few years and it’s working out for you. Now, you actually enjoy waking up and going to work. Is it what you want to do? You’ve progressed but is it really making you happy? Are you doing what you really want? Well…but…What you really want to do would mean going back to university, sacrificing what you’ve achieved so far. Is it worth it? There is still no guarantee of a job. So, you go from idea to idea then realise that your filtering once again. What is wrong? What right?

Hello???? Yes, you! Hello, Me! Yup, I’m talking to myself again! I almost lost myself there with my work. I’ve stopped making time for me. Wow, to make time for ME? I’m always so busy making sure other people are ok.

Relationships

Relationships aren’t always full of the smiles and laughter you dream of like in a fairy tale.

Personally, I found a couple of foul eggs before I met my “Prince Charming” as all the fairy tales say, you will have your “Happy ending”. I started to give up on finding my happy ending until I was forced into quitting my job to travel for one summer. I thought I had a decent guy who needed a little bit of a turnaround but nope wrong again. I’d already been hurt from a 5 and a half-year relationship. My basket was empty. I was done, I gave up.

Why do we let people in? Love? lust? friendship?
What I do know is that my “Prince Charming” was right in front of me. I know, I know, it sounds so cliché, but it’s true. Was it love at first sight? I don’t know but he made me laugh. Everything just felt so natural around him. We met at work whilst I was at university and I know they also say “Love is Blind”, wow, was this true! Everyone saw it first. I guess I just wasn’t looking. Guess he found me.

In life, we come across different scenarios like horrible bosses who won’t keep your job open for 3months and make you leave but, look what happened. I found a job 2 days later after arriving back from the best 3months of my life. Camp America really helped me find ME again. Which lead me to the right path to my next journey. It took a few months to realise but when I did, it was the best feeling In The world.

Appreciate

I started appreciating the little things in life. Gestures that I would do for others, he would do for me. I wasn’t used to this. To be honest…I cried for the first few months as I had previously been made to believe that I was worthless, not good enough. To be treated like a princess. To be made to feel like I was worth every second of his time. I was confused and amazed this man wanted to be nice to me! Me? Things went pretty fast but as they say “You just know”, this is when I finally understood, it is like it just clicked.

It’s such a shame we have to filter the rubbish to find the gold but it’s worth the wait!

Not everyone’s perfect, but I tell you he’s damn close to it! Well, to me and that’s what counts.

Relationships are built every day but it’s the ones that we continue to build that matter, for example, your friendship circle.

Friends

You realise that your friend circle isn’t really a circle anymore. You can just about count your “True” friends on your hand. Is this such a bad thing? If you had a room full of people you could “Actually” call your friends would you be happy? could you maintain those friendships?

In life there comes a time when it gets hard. Things don’t go to plan. Its times like this when you find you who your real friends are.

Even if you lost contact with a close friend at those times of need they will come to you. For those that don’t, well, you guessed right, they were never your friend in the first place.

Sometimes people only stay in your life for a fraction of time that’s benefitted them and this is ok, as maybe you were the right person to be there but don’t forget they were a lesson that’s walked in and out your life, learn from it.

Filter out the people who wouldn’t filter their day for you.

Thanks for reading!!

  7. This is a really interesting outlook. I’d never really thought along these lines before. I was actually feeling really stupid because I didn’t get it until about midway through the post. Must be overtired. It’s certainly intriguing what we filter out and what we keep in our lives over time.
