I am Lewis. Also known as Speller, or online as Dyson. 22 years old, now working at GAME. Blogging since October 2008.A Design For Life
It’s been one hell of a week.
There have been way too many personal things going on for me to disclose on my blog, despite that being what this is for, surely. I’ve been dealing with it surprisingly well, however, and hope that things work out eventually. I also hope that everyone involved manages to keep their chin up and Keep Calm And Carry On.
I’m currently in the middle of a discussion with Chloe about life and philosophy and having a deep conversation about what life and love means and how odd things can be. It’s true, though - when you think about the way the world works it’s just a completely bizarre concept. I mean, for one, we need to find someone and decide to live with them for the rest of our lives. We get one shot at all of this and we choose one person to stick with. And they agree to do the same. It seems incredible that so many people manage to do this successfully and I love it.
Not to mention the fact that we’re supposed to know what we want to do from 16 onwards. What the hell was I supposed to know back then? If I had been told that at 21 I’d be working in a retail store having dropped out of university and would be single I’d have said that I’d consider that a failure. But right now I don’t feel like a failure. I feel like things are OK, and life is pretty OK. I like that.. despite being none-the-wiser about what I want my future to hold!
I can only hope for the optimism to continue. There are new opportunities on the horizon, with me potentially moving to a larger store at work soon, taking a supervisory role and increased responsibility as well as a new team. I’m making new friends through my workplace and I’m seeing some old friends again. I’m seeing one person in particular who I hope I’ll see more of in the coming weeks.
It may have been one hell of a week, and it might be tough in the upcoming weeks, but I am safe in the knowledge that the world will keep spinning regardless of what happens and I’ll have to deal with that. And I think I can do that.
With a little help from my friends. x
