Personal: 24 before 25

24
Hola chicos y chicas! I'm following Spanish lessons now and seeing the purpose of this post it'll all become clear how this intro is super appropriate. First off, sorry sorry, I've been MIA, it's been unavoidable. My inbox is piling up (I swear I can't help it), my instagram feed not that updated and I even forget to tweet. BUT great things are happening in the present and I'm super excited, happy and so nervous about everything that's about to come. But I do feel regret every day I can't work for this blog. Last weekend, aside from a weekend away with friends in Les Ardennes, I also took care of financial stuff and I feel so grown-up and responsible now! It actually feels great, I'm figuring out this self-employment business (all architects in Belgium are self-employed even when working for a firm, well most). How to do my finances, taxes, etc. Because even if I could pay an accountant to do it, I prefer to know how everything works. I've finally come to this point where I'm embracing adulthood with full arms, not regretting not being a student anymore and celebrating every minute of this awesome path I'm paving.

Last year I sometimes felt a bit lost though and looking back I think I haven't always used every opportunity when I could. Wasting too much time thinking about what I'm supposed to do instead of fully living the moment. Therefore to help me along I bought a book 'Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You'. It just appealed to me so much, and ever since I've been pushing myself more and more to fight my fears, look them straight in the eye and go for things I wanna do. A month before my birthday I remembered that some people turn their bucket lists into x before x lists. Et voila, I mostly put things on there that kind of scare me, but also many that I just want to do and not wait my whole life to do them. Do hope I'm not overly ambitious, but a little extra drive always pushes me to next levels. Enough talk about me though, what is on your current bucket list? Maybe we can form a group on certain things? :D
