There comes a time in your life, when you realise who matters, who doesnt and who always will. So, dont worry about people from your past, theres a reason they didnt make it to your future.

^^^^ Cliche maybe but very true. I have come to realise there are very few people outside of family who really do care, who really do matter and they are the ones I want in my future. If someone doesn't have your best interests at heart are they really worth it?

 11.11.10

17

 16 years of life all ready completed. As these years travel by I am slowly creeping towards my fear of the future. This time in 12 months on the 11.11.11 I will be celebrating my 18^th birthday and signing out of school. Making the terrifying decision that plays on my mind day in day out.  What does my future hold… Surfing? Bond University? 

Why I am so fearful towards the years that await me I am yet to figure out. I should be comfortable at where I stand I have two options but this so-called “back-up plan” is yet to cure my fear. I hate not knowing what awaits me. I would give anything to have a glance into the future and discover what awaits me in years to come.

Although I fear the future so much I am doing everything to enjoy the present I have some amazing people in my life who made my birthday very special and I am so greatful of all of them and everything they do for me. Thank you all so much for being apart of my life and making by day of birth one to remember.

A Lost Iron

To live remains an art which everyone must learn, and which no one can teach.

R.I.P

Today the surfing world didn’t just lose a world champion but an icon to the sport. Andy Irons was a rock in building surfing and constantly pushing levels to the extreme to get it to where it is today. One of the only people to ever  fully push Kelly Slater, Andy will go down as one of the best surfers to ever live. After just 32 years of life no one has had enough. I can only imagine what those close to him are feeling. What I have learned is that from every negative you must find the positive and build from it, it will make us all realize that life is short and we will never know where the finish line lies. Remember all those people that mean the world to you and tell them reassure them that you are so grateful of everything they have ever done for you. To those people you don’t get along with life is to short to hold grudges and apologies take no effort at all. Live as if everyday is your last, never look back and have no regrets.
