I feel a new direction coming. Maybe it’s just because it is the end of a long summer, but I feel as though things are moving around me again. I’m feeling less attached to things I have been pursuing over the past year or so, as though my self is being emptied ready for something new. I don’t know what’s around the corner yet. I’ll be leaving university in July so I need to think of something to do after that, a ‘career’ of sorts, perhaps it’s the beginning of that process that I am waiting for. I could just feel this way because beautiful autumn is almost here, which is always a time of reflection and introspection, a time to meditate on the busy spring and summer and get things together ready for the winter hibernation.

Many of the things I have pursued over the past few years have given me a lot; I’ve progressed far, learnt much, discovered new things. I don’t want to abandon ideas like philosophy and ethics that I have been passionately investigating, maybe just place these things on the back burner for a while as I pursue something new. It could be that what I find is a renewed passion for these same ideas, most likely I’ll never have a concrete new direction, I’ll just look back in a years time and say ‘Ah, that’s where you were headed then’.
