Podding along...

''You're happy in your life just Plodding along which is nice but I want more. X''

A text message sent to me from my ex boyfriend. It was his explanation, his reason for breaking up with me.

Until I got that text message I was in limbo, when things started to fall apart in our relationship I had told myself that if we broke up, which I knew we eventually would, that I would pack my bag and head to Thailand. I have been before and I fell in love with the country, the Thai people, the culture, everything. So that was my plan, my jam plan...my plan to get over my man!

But, as with many things in life, saying and doing are two very different things. So for the last couple if months I've been trying to decide what to do. Do I have the balls to pack my bag and head off to South East Asia, alone? Can I afford it? Will it make me feel better, or will I be just as miserable but 6000 miles away from my friends and family?

So until I got that message, I was in limbo...after I read it, I knew what my next move would be. How dare he tell me I am 'plodding along' as if my life is been wasted, as if I'll never do or make anything of myself! Sometimes we need a push, something to make us spring into action and fulfil our potential. For different people that 'push' will come in different ways. For me, it just happened to come in the form of a text message from my ex boyfriend.
