is a question we all need to ask ourselves once in a while. it's all well and good to plod through the humdrum of the ever dreary weekdays and drown our sorrows in discount alcohol, top 40 hits on sticky nightclub dance floors and a cheap chinese takeaway the following night of a weekend but sometimes you have to just stop and take a look at yourself and say why? why am i following this path? a man at my university took nearly 25 years to realise his life wasn't heading in the right direction, in fact it took a near death experience for him to leave his job as a builder and chase his dream, enrolling on a drama and film studies course, a seemingly small step that took him nearly 25 years to take. you live, you learn i guess, but at the same time the only way that comes to fruition is by living in the moment and doing what you want at that time.
