I can't remember the last time I felt content. It might have been after my last exam of Uni when I realised I would never have to sit in an exam hall again, or stay up until 4 in the morning to complete a 3000 word essay on some self indulgent French New Wave bollocks. I had a whole summer of drinking and partying ahead of me, with an internship at a very reputable London based PR company already lined up in August.
Obviously contentedness never lasts. After completing my internship I found myself returning to my family home with little money, no job prospects, and living in a somewhat socially isolated environment. I guess if we got what we wanted all the time we'd never appreciate the good things in life - like a £4 bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tesco. This is why I'm proud to say, I currently find myself in a state of contentedness.
I mean, my life is far from perfect, as I've recently become unemployed and my plans for the summer are not exactly set in stone. But having such freedom in a country that I love, surrounded by adventurous and exciting people is such a liberating experience. I board on the days I want, I take bike rides on the days I don't (oh yeah, I bought a bike, it's called 'Cold Steel'). I'm picking up new hobbies such as the harmonica and playing the guitar more. I sleep in until 11am and watch shit loads of movies from the library. And at night I go out and drink until the room starts spinning. Honestly, how do people find the time to work!?
But as much as I resent having a job, if I plan to do anything this summer I'll need funds, so as of tomorrow I'll officially be job hunting. Blah.
Still really looking forward to this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_9FZ1463sw
And I apologise for the overall positivity of this post. I'm sure by next week it'll all be shit again.
