So I guess Life begins at 24...

So I am 24, wow time flies. And I am not exactly where I thought I would be. A lil depressing, but not enough to get this NEW JON down.

By now, I thought I would be successful, traveling the world, thin and beautiful. But it seems I still have a while to go.

All Ive seen is procrastination, broken dreams and at time, broken spirits. But I am a fighter, I and strangely after all my short-comings and days of fear and doubt. I know more about who I am, more likely now than ever, to NOT TAKE BULLSHIT. and still very hungey to succeed in my like and make a difference.

Before, careerwise, I saw working towards it, as a sense of sacrifice, a scarifice of time, of spending time with friends, a sacrifice of enjoyment. But increasingly so, Im seeing things as a real opening for OPPORTUNITY. I am now longer bound by time and deadline, Ive failed already, Ive lost my way, I become normal, talentless, a has-been...so now I have nothing to lose, I only have my integrity to REGAIN.

I know deep down I never gave up, I just suppressed and wallowed in my own self pity. It not too late I remind myself, I still young, and better yet, I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM LIFES EXPERIENCES, AND PEOPLE IVE MET ALONG THE WAY.

What Ive learnt is that there is so more to life than winning....All my life, I grew accustomed to success, I became blind-sighted by such good fortune. This made me naive to the possibility that this ;uck would never end.....but now I can truly say that, although I was a winner, I never became a leader until I lost.

So I guess its true, looking forward into the light of a new year, a new chapter, that Life....really begins at 24!

April Fool!!!

As part of my plan to get me back in the swing of things. I plan to RE-OPEN...more like START POSTING, entries in my blog. All the stars aligning, we are now in the aries calendar, we are now in the year of the rat, I have finally escaped David Jones, im slowly dipping back into the waters of design....I feel its time...time to catch up y'all!

It was supposed to be a continual effort but, I somehow got lost on the way after finsihing my thesis, and I had secetly began to suffer from what I would like to call undiagnosed depression. (Shhh! dont tell anyone). I just felt the need to shut alot of things out, and to stop being creative, or more, blocked my creativity and imagination. The was a long, long, while where I felt unimportant, and much like a failure. But im feeling better, alot better. It was like I need to see the darkness, to make the light in my shine brighter against it. And this reawakening of this blog, it my first steps in completing this new promised to myself :-)
