All I want, all I need, is for people to stop being so dreadfully “helpful”

Keywords: life change , middle-aged , musician , self-employed

If you are reading this, offer a hug, “I’m hoping/ praying for you”, any seemingly idle non-help you can think of. But we recommending to a musician that “Maybe they should try accounting” when they have historically been a professional musician is cruel and insensitive. NEVER do that to me. I will hate you as much as I can. I DO hate my mom as much as I can.

I wanted to make the most of my University experience, not just in my studies, but also in the friendships I had made

This phase of my life was when I started to realise that I’d changed so much in a short period of time, it was crazy. Before University, I didn’t go out very much and I had quite a small circle of friends, I also didn’t have very much confidence and my mental health wasn’t doing great. But after just a few months at University, I really started to notice changes, I was truly happy and felt like I had found somewhere that I belonged, I didn’t feel judged and felt included within my friendship groups, allowing my confidence to shine through and help me to become the best version of myself, this was the life I had always longed for. So to any current or future students reading this, be yourself and your confidence will shine through, this can feel different and scary to begin with, but as students we need to recognise that change can be good!

To grow old, to be beside my children for all the moments of their lives, to be an example of someone they’d want to be like

Take me, take these words, and hold me to it as I do the work of changing so that I do not die and leave before my hair is grey and my hands are tired. It is all I want, to have time.
