- life -

i genuinely think one of the most heartbreaking things someone can say is anything along the lines of

“god doesn’t want me to be happy”

“why does this happen to me god isn’t there for me”

cause i know that in those situations that lead you to say that that you can’t accept that everything happens for a reason and that we need to trust gods plan for us

so if you’re reading this just know that god loves you and he has a path set out for you

the day will come

He leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.

— Psalm 23:2-3

- the future -

throughout this entire academic year, i’ve had more pressure to figure out what i want to do when i grow up (not an entirely academic pressure i haven’t had any teachers or friends or even my parents pressure me it’s been more of a personal pressure)

for the last few months i’ve been dead set on going to a specific college two hours away from home and studying an arts degree in english and minoring in theology and then taking a two year pme (Professional Master of Education) course and being an english and religion teacher in a secondary (high) school (a total of six years in college)

this seemed perfect for me and i could not explain my excitement for doing this

but something in the back of my head had been talking about sports journalism and i found myself thinking about it too without meaning to

so when people asked me what i wanted to do it would go like this

“so what are you thinking of doing after school?”

“well i’ve been pretty 50/50 between secondary school teaching and sports journalism. i know they seem miles apart and it’s a pretty big difference but they both strike me as interesting and fun jobs”

“wow you should definitely go for secondary school teaching, it had great holidays during the summer”

and every time i’d have this conversation i’d always leaving thinking

“but i want to do sports journalism”

so cause of people thinking like this i ended up just telling myself i’d do teaching for the convenience

but in such a short time as the last week of my life i’ve stopped caring about what other people say and i’ve been opening my mind to sports journalism more

two days ago i told my best friend about this whole thing and she said the one thing no one has and the one thing i needed to hear

“why wouldn’t you do sports journalism?”

and i started asking myself

“why wouldn’t i?”

and the thing is i always thought of things like

i’d rather do it and fail than not do it and regret it

but i always dismissed my thought about journalism and tried to stay on the educating track

so now i’m like 80% sure i’m going to do a media studies course (which includes a sectional course of english in the first year so i’d still have some sort of english qualification) and go on to try (emphasis on try🤞) to be an f1 or soccer sports journalist

it still seems far fetched to me but i don’t see what benefit i’d get from not doing it

anyway moral of the story

chase those dreams!!!!

- travel -

i recently went on a school trip to barcelona (we visited salou, barcelona, catalonia and tarragona all in this trip) and it completely opened my eyes to how much i love travel and exploring places away from my home

i’ve been on holidays abroad with my family lots of times before but this is the first time i was given more freedom and independence especially when it comes to the likes of taking care of my own things and belongings and taking care of a hotel room (i shared with two friends.)

it really showed me how much i enjoy being out of my own country (ireland) and i genuinely yearn to be in another country learning about the culture and just soaking up the overall atmosphere of the foreign place now that i’ve come home

this has completely shifted my view on the future and i’ve found myself thinking about the future under a different light than i have before

i have thought things like “i can’t wait to grow up” and “i can’t wait to be older” not wishing my youth away but being excited to turn 18 and be able to travel by myself and choose where i want to go whether in ireland or in another country

exposure really does bring knowledge because if i hadn’t have gone on that trip i would still view my future in a way that i’ll always be with my family at home and i’ve never viewed it in a way that id leave the country often and now that i can see that alternative pathway i really enjoy my outlook on the future and see it as a thing to be excited for rather than the dread i used to feel for adulthood

anyways rant over here’s some photos i took in spain 😚

📍barcelona

📍tarragona

📍 montserrat

📍 park güell

this video was taken in barcelona (genuinely felt like miami or somewhere in america!)
