For Future Me


From a young age it was instilled into my brain that if I want to make something of myself then I need to go to university.
I mean it was practically a necessity.

Why? Because it increases your job prospects and ensures financial stability 
I guess when you’re fifteen , that's the ultimate goal really.

You reach fifteen and the question aimed at me:
Luc, what do you want to really be?
I had no idea.
I wasn’t thinking about my future,
I barely remembered the day of the week?
and I definitely did not deal well with responsibility.

The truth is it's hard to know the answer to that question, 
I based my A-level choices down to my GCSE’s
I did well at English so I figured, hey, English it shall be.

Everyone seems to expect you to know what you want for your whole life?
Do I want to be a doctor, a teacher, a vet?
To be honest, I don't know, I'm only seventeen,
I can try and think, but I mean...
How accurate can decisions that I make now be?
For a girl , that in 8 years time-
might be a different version of me...

May: Us

I love the way you laugh out loud The way you make me smile The way you're not afraid to hold my hand, if only for a while I love the way you look at me And the way you always care The way you look me in the eyes And sometimes even stare I love the way you give me hugs That sometimes last forever But think you should believe in yourself more, because you are actually really clever. I love the way you understand me completely, And even though it sounds really cheesy, the way you complete me.

September: what am I doing

When people ask you “what are you doing with your life?” You say .. “umm, I’m just going with the flow” Which is basically code for.. “yeah, I don’t really know”. You’re supposed to have everything figured out right?  You’re supposed to just know who you are? But you can’t help but look around and think mate,  I don’t even know where to start. You go from being a carefree child,  to a life full of responsibility, Decisions now have consequences and you’re sat there, questioning your abilitys. You’re expected to have a five year plan - house, kids, car, Yet you’re still standing at the starting pointing feeling like you’re not going to make it very far.
