The Long And Winding Road.

When you have been in the same job for more than ten years you find yourself wondering 'what if?'.
What if I didn't reply to that advert in the newspaper? Where would I be now and what would I be doing?
I've worked in casinos for the past ten years - not something I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a career .
I often wonder what I would be doing if I'd taken a different path. Would I still be stuck in a rut, doing a 9-5 job? Earning peanuts? Or would I have followed my dreams?

We work over 50% of our lives, some longer and the lucky few a lot less, but are we happy? With the employment numbers dropping rapidly it's hard for people to follow their hearts and get a job that they really enjoy.
My goal is to just be happy, I want to make other people happy too. I want to write with everything I have and sing
With all my heart. To make people feel and connect with them through words is amazing. To know that you may have helped someone get through a hard patch or even inspire them is even more so of a reward.
I'm gonna blog my journey, take each opportunity that is thrown at me and pretty much grab the bull by the horns.
I'm hoping that someday the words I've written will get you through the hard times or inspire you on some journey.
Much love ,

Eyes

Just something I randomly thought of :) ------- We have two eyes. Here's how this work: let's pretend to every person, the left eye is the brain and the right eye is the soul.

Hafsa, Whoooo???

Well hey. My names Hafsa. I have 2 older brothers, both annoying and I am really awkward at moments like this. I have an adorable pet cat. I'm a 'take no shit' sort of gal.

Thank You Opuss

I know I thank opuss a lot but what can I do I love this app. Thank you so much for this app. I never liked to write and I had no inspiration. Teachers liked my essays but never my stories.

I think the more we go through life we all wonder the same (which path should I take ??) but sometimes we don't have a choice, we are thrown onto paths, fate leaves us no choice. I had to leave home when I was 15, I went into army as a boy, and came out 26 years later, I'm now in a job i like , working beside a right wankstain these last 14 years, but I'm now living with a wonderful woman ?? Who would have Woody (that's her name) would have come my way, what path lead her to me x

@TheViolator I know what you mean, I believe that people come into your life for a reason and think that somewhere down the line you would have met :).

I asked myself the same thing ..but everything happens for a reason and it's always for the best .. That's how I see it anyway

I went to uni a few years ago having never heard of 'recession'. I left hearing of nothing other than it - New Labour told us we'd all be rock stars. Now we're members of the boomerang generation, back with our parents & demoralised. I'm finding fighting cynicism to be a full time job on its own!

@ollypop well said young man, we can still be rock stars :) just have to work harder lol
