Things I Wish My Mum Had Told Me - 'It's OK.'

What do you want out of life?

- A Car?

- A House?

- A Relationship?

- A New Job?

There are so many things we all wish to aspire to within the world, but what do you reeeeaaallly want? I'm talking about the thing that keeps you up at night, torturing your thoughts before you fall asleep?

Did your answer change?

Mine Did.

Whether your answer changed or not, it's ok to want things. It's human nature. And it's ok that your path to get these things might not be mapped out just yet. It's all a part of the process. I think we all get so caught up trying to out-do each other, we forget its ok to not have it all figured out like some of our friends do. We're young!!

Knowing what you want doesn't have to be such a black and white area. I know plenty of people who are at Uni studying a specific degree, but if you ask them what they want to do after they graduate, a lot of them are still unsure. It's allowed!

Someone I met recently asked me this question, (at first I was like, Why are you being so deep? I just met you chill out!) but to be honest it hit a nerve because I couldn't give a straight forward answer. There's a bunch of things I want. Success. Money. Love. But looking back, and really thinking about it, the blanks in your story don't need to be filled in right this second. Right now, enjoy the journey and learn from your experiences. Trust me, they build character and broaden your perspective on life.

I'ts ok not having everything "together", but don't let it stop you from working towards what you think "it" is.
