Oh, the joys of youth and innocence...?
I've made one post each month to this blog since I started...rather pathetic really. I'm feeling a certain disconnect from life in general... over the last couple of months. It could be the emotional numbing effect of summertime - although I am not really feelin' the general joie le vivre around. I find winter depressing and I do get a nauseating dose of SADS for the duration - I won't go there, its not pretty. When the seasons finally change I seem to experience a strange back to life resurrection... -amazes me to no end.
On the bright side it does makes me nostalgic for simpler times - when I was young feckless and rather naive. Sigh! How I wish for those innocent times... I wonder how i would have turned out - 'if I knew then what I know now'? Hmm... one of those philosophical questions that baffle me - another one that comes to mind, is where did we all come from? - the big bang theory notwithstanding - how do you resolve the contemplation of nothingness....? I digress - Anyway some of the the things I would have loved to have known include:
What my vocation really was/is - I hold a number of post graduate degrees in different diciplines and let me not even count the diplomas, certificates et al in... - yes you guessed right - a myriad number of proficiencies - I do wear many hats which I must confess is not a bad thing I suppose.
What to look for in a mate - I can hardly consider the men in my past relationships as soul mates- well to be honest I still don't know.
Cultivate a long term saving habit as early as possible - When i think of all the money i have spent on...! Although... I'm not doing too badly recently... and considering...who am i fooling anyway?
Well, guess I had better throw this out to you out there - I'm sure I have more wishes to muse over but they don't come readily to mind at the moment. What would you have loved to know then that you know now?

Finding one's true vocation is such a process; you must be quite talented to have a high level of knowledge in different fields. I think it's great coz you have more options (although they may be confusing) but you can always change your mind. (That's what I tell myself coz I'm still figuring out what to do in the future.)
I would have loved to know:
1) Grades don't really matter--just don't fail.
2) It's worth it investing more time in friendships.
3) If you always bend to accomodate people, they'll take advantage of you so just stand your ground.
4) Basic car mechanics, so I could have saved money by fixing and checking stuff myself (and not getting ripped off by the mechanic).
if someone had told me to follow my heart and not to fall for conventional wisdom because the latter would only hurt me i would have been a much more fulfilled person ... right now i feel more like a paddocked horse that yearns to roam free on wild, unconquered hills ... hope my will does not wither soon
