Okay, let me say what you're all thinking. - Good work, hotshot. Start a blog about wanting to make a change, come up with a potentially cool idea and then... refuse to discuss it? That makes no sense.
Thing is, all I have is an idea. Not a plan, and no idea how I'm going to do it. Or, for that matter, if it's even doable. There's no point blah blah blahing all over the place before I even know what I'm talking about.
Here is what I know. I was walking down the street a couple days ago and there were little girls selling lemonade and candy on the side of the road. They said it was for charity. I gave them what I had in my wallet (not much, sadly) and wished them good luck.
And then my brain started to churn.
I want to have a direct impact on lives. I want to do good things for the world at large. I feel passionate about charities and giving back. So, what I want to do is start a program that helps get young people into the idea of volunteering. Makes them feel good and important. Makes the world a better place. Etc.
Ticks a scary number of boxes, eh? This could work. This could be my thing.
Well, first I have to get my life in order. Get a flat to live in. Get a job. And then, when I feel settled I can get to work on my side projects - photography, writing, marathon and this. I don't know exactly what that'll look like yet, and what kind of balance I'll strike (it might be a struggle!), but I do know I'm finally looking forward to stuff again.
Help them? Be helped by them?
