29. An interesting number. A prime number. I've never really cared that much about numbers. I never enjoyed maths as a kid. Now I have to teach it to kids and pretend I know what I'm doing.
But now this number has become incredibly important. Because I am now 29. And it's only been very recently that I've really become aware of the concept of age- for a long time I've ignored the fact I'm getting older and just kept on keeping on.
However, suddenly my age has come racing towards me. Suddenly, 30 has come racing towards me. Suddenly feelings of doubt, inadequacy and fear have come racing towards me. It's been slightly overwhelming. Especially when all this reflection has taken place while travelling the world for 5 months with my beautiful girlfriend (without whom I would have battled to even work out what the hell was going on).
I guess it comes from the fact there's so much I want to do with my life and I feel like I'm running out of my time to do it. So this blog is an accountability tool and a means to ensure the things I want to do get done.
I'm 29. And primed.
