Who knew life could change so much, so drastically and so quickly. 

I was working two jobs both of which I enjoyed however one was extremely stressful at times  what job isn’t…. and one I did for fun as it was my passion and tbh the most enjoyable job I’ve ever had. 

My life was very full on working silly and awkward hours that I never had the time to stop and work out what my next plan was. 

Then COVID hit  BANG! Everything stopped and lost in one day. Which at first was a bit of shock but I generally thought it will only be a few weeks….. (little did I know) 
Was it a bad thing? Not really….. yes it’s a shock and your thinking where’s my next income coming from but I then realised what is is point in stressing and worrying over things you can not change and look at it as a positive. I finally had the time to sit down and evaluate my life, what I was doing, the hours, the money, the quality of life. Was it worth it, where was it going. 

The biggest struggle I think we have all found about lockdown is the not knowing. Not knowing when this was going to end and at the time not knowing what was going on really. But I used the time to decide on what I wanted to do. Where I wanted to be. Where I wanted to work. What I wanted to aim for. When you end up with nothing what have you got to lose. 

A year on and my life has completely changed, new goals, new job, new house, new ideas, new plans. I am now doing something I love every single day. I’m creating ideas for a job I’m so passionate about. I’m meeting people who share the same interest. I’m experiencing new opportunities all the time. I wouldn’t change this for the world. 

Lockdown(s) have not been easy by no means but it’s how you decide to view your life and what you want from it. It’s not about sitting around and waiting for the next best thing, it won’t happen. It’s down to you to make those changes. Don’t look at it negatively. It’s been hard but make the most out of what you can. Make small changes. I am the happiest now doing what I love but that wouldn’t of happened if my everyday life wasn’t put on hold. 
Be grateful for the changes, be grateful for the opportunities
