Note To Self // Don’t Be Swayed

The past few months have been spent pondering, deciding and travelling; floating around universities and thinking up thoughts and feelings on them. It’s hard, I think, with any big decision to not let others sway you.To not let their opinions, true or biased, shape your decisions. It's that fine line between taking other’s advice and being led by them. 
This is a rambling post as I like to call them. I knew the title of this blog post way before sitting down to write it, yet the right words; what I am trying to explain, is something I cannot get quite right. I guess that is because there is no real purpose to this post, other than to share thoughts and some beautiful photos of Newcastle.
The idea of wandering off to uni has always been there, as something I will do, which is great. But what I am realising more and more, is that as amazing as all these opportunities are, there are fees to think about and whether I could actually earn some money at the end of all this. I guess pursuing your passions will always have it’s obstacles, something that is becoming ever more apparent as this decision making goes on. I am not having doubts, just pauses in my excitement, touch downs to think about realistic plans and goals. 
Who knew these decisions would all be so hard eh?

Mid-Month Motivation || July


I saw this on Pinterest (the centre for all inspiring and beautiful things of course), and was instantly struck with how well the poet has captured that feeling of being 'young and free'. It moves away from those cheesy Tumblr posts and delves into something a lot deeper and far more beautiful. Anyone who knows me personally may have seen this quote on my phone wallpaper for the longest time. The last three lines especially became a kind of goal and still is today, to keep moving, thinking and doing. 
I thought this photo I snapped when on a plane last was rather fitting, to perhaps hint at a Tumblr-esque vibe that is slightly cheesy but goes with the whole travelling the world theme. 
Any quotes/poems you've been living by this month? I'd love to hear..
