The sun is shining, business men and women are scuttling about the platforms, looking up at screens, down at watches, all look like they're too important to be standing around. A moth flies past my line of vision before being blown away by a gust of wind. Every other train looks so inviting, wherever they're going I just want to jump aboard one and see where it takes me.
I do hope I find something else after this. I wish I believed in myself as much as my friends and family seem to. Some people drop everything like a hat to galavant off to the otherside of the world, just to get a different taste of culture and to see a bluer sea. I wish I could feel as daring as that. They never seem to have any regrets, just amazing stories.
I'm not sure why that idea isn't more appealing to me. Money, I suppose. To do that sort of thing you need to have some sort of stash of money to spend on such ventures, however I don't have that sort of thing at the moment. Maybe one day I'll do it. I think seeing the world will help shape me into a different person, seeing there's more beyond our horizon.
This time next week, things will be feeling much different. I need to get my act together for sure, can't be spending too much of it procrastinating. I don't think I will, as soon as I get it sorted, or indeed 2 sorted, one for proper jobs, the other for normal jobs, I can start firing them out like nobody's business!
I will miss the commute a little bit. I have got used to seeing familiar faces each morning. The well presented guy who always comes in at 7.55 with a newspaper and cereal bar who looks like he should be a doctor. The young girl with her eyes glued to her phone, her friends come and join her a few moments later and they walk to school, takes me back to when I was that age. So quickly I see myself remenising like a mother would to her daughter. It's scary!
But I don't wish I were back to those times at all, I was looking forward to the future back then. But not as much as I am now.
I have been feeling very maternal lately, I seem to go through bouts of it. I realise that now wouldn't be the best time, however, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Ah dear, well I can't think about that now!
I look forward to jogging again when I have more time to myself again, I need to get physically and mentally fit for the challenges ahead. I feel this last venture has worn that all down a bit.
