The world and its money

As my time at university comes to its end, I am now looking forward to the prospect of life as a young adult. There is a change in the wind and I feel that now more than ever I can see the potential the coming year has to offer. I see this because I have grown as a person. No longer am I a seed but the flower that has sprout from it. Sitting on a hill side, swaying softly in the breeze, waiting for the wind to blow harder and send my petals in to the sky where the new journey begins.


 I think I am most excited about the mystery that lingers in the air. It fills me with both worry and excitement at the same time. Though I am closing a chapter in my life I feel that my time at university has been well spent. I have discovered myself and who I want to be.


Living as I have these past three years, pretty much in poverty. I guess, although I hate to say it makes me really look forward to having money and being able to do normal things that people seem to take for granted in their everyday lives. The tragedy of this however is that once I have this money I know that I will become like everyone else in this world, completely superficial and senseless with spending.


I find it sad that money makes this world go around. I like to think my own world spins in a different way. I don't want to see the world with the view that time is money. For me time has never and never will be money. It's a shame that so many people have run with this idea and it seems they have lost sight of what the world actually is and what it meant to them once up on a time.


The world is a paradise filled with beauty, inspiration and creativity. It's not just the view but the feelings and thoughts it provokes and brings to your attention. Money destroys this view and is taken far too seriously for what it is worth. It's a piece of paper with too much power for its own good.

The rushed entry

Okay, so once again I haven't written anything for while. Recently I've been really busy helping out on some other graduate shoots as I finished my own way back in December. After two weeks of unpleasantness I've been able to come back to my parents for a long weekend and chill the fuck out, which has been nice.

I haven't really done anything other than lazy around, drink and socialise with both family and friends but I think its sorted me out. I'm off back to Leeds tomorrow and in all honesty I'm not really looking forward to it as I will  be thrown in to the deep end once more.

Despite this I know that soon it will all be over and life will slow down, even if it is just for a moment. Right now a lot of things, too many things are all over the place, university work, money, and the next move in life. I know that I'll get it all sorted. I've just got man up and do it.
