life improvement skills
Maybe it's the fact that it's a new year and it's only January. Not too late to start again. Maybe it's because I'm 20 and realising I need to start getting serious. Maybe it's just because I'm fed-up. In any case, I've decided I need a change.
I'm sick of it. I'm bored. I hate what I'm turning into.
I'm 20. It's time to grow up.
I'm sick of going to a new town every couple months just to start over again. And for what? I have nothing to show for it. I haven't seen any of europe except France. Haven't seen any of England except London, Brighton, York and Edinburgh. I haven't save d a penny (I literally have £2.50 to my name at the moment...but should be getting paid today). I'm supposed to be travelling. I'm supposed to see the world. I'm supposed to be having fun. Well, I am having fun. I'm having too much fun which has become part of the problem. I hate the patterns I've began falling into.
This is a day in the life of Mix as she is in Edinburgh: Wake up around 2-3pm. sit in lounge at jif's (where I'm currently staying until I get paid). Smoke a few joints. Maybe a cigarette *(if there's drinking involved). Spend the night either in the lounge (again smoking j's) or getting drunk/experimenting with various other drugs. Stay awake until 3-4am and then pass out on teh couch in the lounge. Wake up at 3 the next arvoandstart over again.
There's too many smokers. If you came close enough to smell me, you'd think I'd been a pack-a-day for years. The truth is, I don't smoke. Well...now that I'm here, I'm falling into the "smoke with a beer habit"...not good. Luckily, I'm not an addictive personality otherwise, I'm sure I would be a habitual smoker by now.
I feel unhealthy. I'm sick of eating ready meals because I can't be bothered to cook. Running to the shop when I'm hungry instead of a kitchen.
Sick of city life.
Missin the home life.
So, this weekend, I will make my decision. Although, I think I've already made it.
I've made a list.
Ways Mix will change and improve her life and hopefully mature:
1. Head home to Roberts Creek, British Comlumbia, Canada
2. Get a job
3. work work work work work
4. Make some money money money
5. Join a gym
6. Get my drivers licence
7. Buy a digital camera
8. buy a ticket to Australia
9. GET MY FUCKING LIFE TOGETHER
So in conclusion, I think I'm heading home.
I'll come back to Europe on a later date when I have money and don't have to work.
Looking forward to seeing my mum. Is that weird?

Hello Baby.
Old my arse. I am now 26 and still in as much of a mess as you. I have maxed my credit card and have have $200US to my name. Leave for Mexico in 12 days where I am destined to meet the family of my boyfriend who I have mixed feelings for. Mess? Can it be cleaned up by going home to stay with your family? Well that depends on you. Remember, you can't run away from you.
Love you - hitting Europe in May.
