I’m naturally the type of person who puts things off in both my professional and personal life. It’s not one of my good qualities but it is what it is. I always think “I’ll just do it tommorow”. Well “tommorow” turns into days, then weeks, next thing I know a month has passed and I still haven’t done it.
One of my goals after graduating was to move to a big city. I had a job lined up and everything but ended up taking the “smart” option. I took the job close to home, lived with my parents, and saved money. Now I don’t believe in regrets and truly believe that’s what I was meant to do at the time. I met so many wonderful people, including my now boyfriend, which would have never happened if I hadn’t stayed. However I got comfortable. My goal of moving to a city slowly getting pushed to the back burner more and more. I ended up living at home for 2 1/2 years before moving to the city.
Another example is me writing this blog. I haven’t written a blog in MONTHS. I kept saying “oh yea, I’ll do it later”. Well here I am several months later and finally doing it but I should have done it a long time ago.
The point is we need to stop putting things off! At least I feel that I need to. You can do what you want with your life.
I feel so happy now that I’m writing this blog from my new home (the Windy city). I finally am doing everything I said I would do. But why the heck did I wait so long?
