26

Yesterday I turned 26. There's something about birthdays that make you reflective about life, even if your numerical age means less and less every year when society dictates that it's meant to mean more and more.

I'm at a crossroads now, I think. I have so many avenues suddenly open to me - whether they've always been open to me and I just haven't seen it, that's something to debate. The problem with choice is that you have to choose and nothing of the current opportunities is pulling me in a stronger direction than any of the other choices.

At the moment, I have writing, education, health, media and film on my plate. Each have their pros and cons. I work for an educational company during the day and, as a freelance journo, submit articles about health to keep my media face up. On the side, I'm currently producing a doco with a small enthusiastic crew. And let's not forget my fledgling 'career' as a writer. Things could go anywhere. Things could go well if I pushed in the right direction - but I don't know, I can't feel anything for "the right direction" at the moment.

Everything is so blended right now. I need some time to think.
