Independence means different things to different people. For me, Independence is the ability to go out and do things on your own and not be afraid to do so.
For most, the first step towards Independence may be your first job. Earning money for yourself as to not wholly depend on your parents for financial support. For the majority moving away to University/College will be the first taste of 'freedom'.
Having moved away (by 'away' I mean two and a half hours drive +) to University last September, and from practically living on my own most of the time I feel I have most certainly become more Independent. Making me confident enough within myself to do things I have dreamt of.
For a while now I have had pondering thoughts over a trip to Paris. Paris has always fascinated me and having never really experienced much of France at all I feel a trip to the capital city would be fitting. Mostly because it is one of the fashion capitals of the world and maybe because it supposedly has the best patisseries. Just maybe.
Though after doing some research I have found that I will not be gorging myself on Pierre Hermé confectionery any time soon. Due to work commitments and the nearing University term it seems that planning an extensive trip in such a small time frame is not realistic. Though I will never throw in the towel on this idea, I have found a substitute.
At the end of summer I am going for a short trip to Canada to visit my Uncle and some friends. Still have a hell of a lot of planning to do and I am only able to go for around ten days, but I think this will be an excellent way to end the summer! Any Canadian readers feel free to give me some inspiration.
I feel that its doing things like this that will help me and anyone else develop into a much more Independant, Confident and Interesting person. Something which I desire to be. Something which I'm sure you do to.
Hope this has given a little insight into my life and a little look into the workings of my mind. Please feel free to share if you are planning anything similar or have done in the past.
Thanks for reading, as ever
