10 : The Number of Months It Took Me To Publish This Blog Post

It’s been a long time coming. A work in progress for the past ten months. Well, the past 10 years if I’m completely honest. But today I officially begin my blog-tastic venture. I’m not entirely sure why it’s taken me so long to write my first post – anyone who knows me well will tell you that I always have something to say. But, alas, I just haven’t been able to find the time motivation to pump this bad boy out. It all started in December of last year, when I completed my University degree (YAY), realised how much free time I had on my hands (okay, let’s be honest, I had a lot of free time as a uni student) and decided I wanted to do something with said free time. *Light bulb moment* A BLOG!  I signed up, came up with a strikingly witty Title and theme and commenced typing, which went along the lines of...



A few months passed, during which I effectively utilised my post-degree free time by watching countless television series’ (seriously, had nothing changed since my days of studying?!) and job-hunting – AKA scrolling through websites filled with classifieds, whilst constantly crying that I will never find the perfect job and have my dream career.


Amidst my busy schedule, there was clearly no time for me to be creating online posts.


In April I finally got a job (YAY) in retail…after four years of studying marketing. But, no problem, I would embrace this opportunity and use it as the first stepping stone towards my bright and shiny career.  Seven weeks later I resigned. Not because I’m above retail – in fact, I actually really loved it. Rather, it was because this particular Electronics company, who shall remain nameless (think male genitalia, and an extremely common surname) did not seem to care for their employees, nor their training or development. #rantover I was fortunate enough to step out of that unenjoyable position and into a new, amazing retail role within three short days.


Which brings us to now. I’ve spent the past four months working with some amazing people, selling incredible products to expectant mothers and new parents. And I love every minute of it! Perhaps this new headspace is making me want to continue with something else that I love – writing, and having people read my writing. Whatever it is, I’m here, I’m posting, and I’m excited for this new adventure - counting every day, and making every day count.
