Ok so I am not talking the kind of directions to get to the local bar (although if you have those directions I will @ u l8r). No this post is about the silly amount of life directions that seem to occur as you hit your twenties. It can all get a bit mind boggling, confusing and just damn scary to be quite honest.

It feels like the decisions you are going to be making in these years are so important and life changing. I don’t know what it is but the minute I hit 23 I was like oh ma gaaaad I am getting OLD I need to experience everything I have ever wanted to before my time runs out. It feels like somebody hit fast forward on life and I have no idea why in my mind set I am thinking life ends at 30! Like 30s are the new 20s so I hear?!

But anyway mild panic word vomit paragraph over. Phew.

My point is these are the years of figuring stuff out and exploring all those different paths that arise. For me my biggest struggle is the fact that I love my job so much and I am progressing well. BUT (theres always a but) my heart lies in performing and I just feel like I NEED to pursue acting while in my 20s, as acting is a fikkle game especially with age! Not only that I promised my Gran she would see me on the West End so yano added all the pressure to myself. By the way things are going atm will have to take her and just run onto the stage – I did not specify that I would be performing on the stage so…..

It feels like so many options arise in your twenties and you are constantly changing your mind on what direction you are wanting to go in. From small things like – what bank to get a credit card with to massive things like what career you want to pursue for the next few years or… forever. I think the difficult part of that is for the first time in our lives were having to reflect on how this is going to impact our future, it is a lot of pressure. No wonder us 20 somethings are always second guessing stuff!

Sometimes the best way to deal with choosing these paths is to go get some unicorn gin, drink it with your pals and laugh in the face of adulthood.

I am unsure of the purpose of this post, I guess it was just a daily struggle post to help us twenty somethings feel like we are not alone.

I believe in fate so you know I think I will just sit back and let fate sort it all out for me. As long as my fate is to live in a mansion in Chelsea, be a west end star and have 31 (I do not like even numbers) cats and dogs. So if fate does not sort me out with that then I am taking to twitter to brand shame it? Sounds legit.
