What now?

I have been needing to write! But Procrastination and binge watching entire TV series often wins.
Y'know I always try and do a wrap up for the year that was around now but this year is different - I'm happy.

That is not normal for me around this time. I really should be a little more stressed about what the F%*k I'm going to do with my life. It's mostly financial - I'm not working and I am writing this instead of applying for a few jobs. Yeah - so financially I should make some big changes in my life - but my soul is happy. I may have just jinxed myself and I am a little superstitious that the happier I admit to being the further I have to fall into that familiar pit that is depression.

I was telling a friend about my woes and mistakenly said that I was in the same boat last year and have been saying "Next year is the year!" for about 3 years now. It's not true. Last year I had one potential project on the go and in its infancy. Since then I have shot a funding video for that project, produced a short film, written another, driven up and down the coast in my trusty new Suzuki SX4, seen great things, met great people...the list goes on. I have had a good year, except for that one week of hospital stories and an unexpected death, but that was one week, oh and that one night where I drank way too much rum...one night! I digress - My friend summed up my current problem as being one of abundance. I have a number of fantastic opportunities on my plate right now (and I am talking creative projects not men, although I know a few good ones there too), I just need to choose which one to focus on first. They will all get done but my dilemma is HOW do I  prioritise?

And on the subject of my love life - I have lots of wonderful people in my life that I love and that love me - I know this, and it makes me happy. I may not have that "someone special" that society
brings us up believing we should have but that's ok. I never have been one for conformity.
Here is a good article I came across this morning about relationships in 2017 - it makes a lot of sense to me.
