Making a Start

I'm a day-dreamer.

So I'm here. I'm in front of my screen and I will let my wildest dreams (and accomplishments) be known. Maybe if I write them down I can contain them. Well, maybe not "contain" them, but manage them. To contain sounds like 'to stifle'. I'd prefer to see all my ambitions written down and I can view them like a check list.

Once it's been said, it has to be done.

I am Faye, I am young, I am a woman and I'm strong, stubborn, temperamental. I have been living in Brisbane, Australia for just over two years and I'm nearly over it. Nursing and Exercise Science are my areas of study, sometimes I love them, sometimes I want to ditch and run from the whole uni thing. Then there is work, which is both a blessing and a curse.

I have a theory of myself which is: two years is my max. I feel like a shaken bottle of lemonade and the lid is getting unscrewed. This year marks the longest I've held a job, the longest I've lived in the same place since I was sixteen, and the longest time I could have thought studying. And yes, I'm ready, I'm ready to run for the hills. But I won't. Cause I'm an accomplisher.

The only thing (beside my amazing will-power) that has kept me on track is the constant escape that I humour myself with. If the word  adventure (or peanut butter for that matter) sneaks into a question always say yes. It can be a 10 minute walk in a green park or a multi-year-inter-continental-pilgrimage, I'm in, sign me up with permanent marker. Let me go!

On a side note, here is a link to my last outing:
That time I went to Nepal: 6 Lessons I Learned While Travelling Solo In Nepal
Some people liked it so I will continue to write.

I have decided I will share my ideas (some dumb), my plans, and my adventures here. It would be quite an amazing thing if I managed to inspire someone.

Faye.
