Once upon a time I met a guy on the net who I really wanted to be with. Only problem was, he lived in England and I lived in Australia. I used to wish out loud that we could be together and my mum would say “You’re chasing rainbows”. Why did she say this? Like any caring parent she knew how hard it would be – besides us being a world apart, I have an anxiety disorder, social phobia, had never left home (I was 29) or worked and had no money.
However, nothing is impossible – if you really want it then go for it, never give up and you can have it! How do I know this? Because I am now happily together with that guy I wanted to be with.
How did I achieve this?
First, I had a really strong desire to be with him. I really wanted it. And I really didn’t want things to stay the same as they were. I was sick of things being the way they were and I was ready to change. I was not giving up the opportunity to be with someone I really clicked with. If any part of you doesn’t want something then it probably won’t happen.
Second, I believed it was possible. I imagined it happening. I new I could handle it. If there was any doubt in my mind about my ability to cope without my parents there it wouldn’t have happened.
Third, I made out a list of what I needed to do and I did those things one by one. This really is the only way to make it happen – do it!!! When obstacles came up, I didn’t give up or take it as a sign that I shouldn’t be doing it, I found a way around.
I didn’t do it all on my own, I had a great lot of help from my parents when they realised I wasn’t giving up on this dream! Maybe I’m just lucky but I think if it can happen to me, it could happen to other people too!
So, this is just my little way of saying, if there is something you dream of, don’t give up or think it’ll never happen to you, because I am living proof that good things can happen!
