One thing leads to another.

If you're gona make a journey, do it in style.

I thought almost constantly about ‘transition’ for 6 months; what it was, what it meant and how its concept could clearly be expressed in a 3D form. It was the basis for my Degree Show collection. In the end my pieces were a collection which highlighted the importance of focusing on the present moment. They acknowledged the past and future but embraced the beauty of now and living in the moment as so much of what was and what will be is beyond our control. And so, after those 6 months, I had the whole thing sussed. Transition is a natural thing in life so don’t stress or worry about it, just go with it, focus on what’s happening right now and love life. Well, that’s all very well until you suddenly find yourself in the very depths of transition- homeless, jobless and having committed to a college course almost 3 hours drive away from your parents’ house which is the only real place of refuge you have at the moment. “It’ll all work out”. “Something will come up”. So I’m told, and absolutely, one has to keep the faith. I have no doubt that the studying I’m doing is exactly what I should be doing but having said this, it makes it so difficult to see why everything else isn’t falling to place around it. At the end of the day, I’m a happy and healthy young one with plenty of amazing friends and family and so I’ve nothing severe to be fretting about. My problem is, I need to banish that word ‘if’ from my mind. It’s pointless. I can only do what I can do and a massive lump of patience and faith is what I need to summon. I’ve never been one to sit still. Bored and lazy are not words in my vocabulary. I’m not wasting precious life time during my transition and I think that’s all that matters. Just gotta keep putting the love out there and remember that life always has ups and downs…embrace them for what they are. Anyway, life would be so boring if we just hopped from one thing and place to another..we’d miss the eager anticipation of the unknown and all the excitement of the journey.*Tweet
