Five Years
10:54
My Timehop told me that yesterday it was 5 years since I graduated as a Dispensing Optician. And today it gave me the photos from said ceremony so I thought I would share them for nostalgia :-)

If you had asked on this day where I thought I would be in 5 years, no way would I have said where I am! But that just goes to show plans don't always work out (in this case so much better than I could ever have imagined!) I was attempting to complete the Contact Lens Certificate at the time so I suppose my answer would have been that I'd be a Contact Lens Optician. But really, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you think you will end up doing, or where you think you will be in the world. What matters is that you live for now, follow your instincts and take risks in life and in love. So I still need to get the love thing down but one step at a time. I knew I wanted to retrain as a Doctor nearly 4 years ago and despite hurdles and heartache in the application process I am finally here and couldn't be happier. But I knew I didn't want to be 40 or 50 and think 'I wish I had done this/that. So take the risk, trust your instincts. There will be times when you think 'what the f### am I doing' but others where you just feel so happy its not conceivable.
Soppy happy post over. I'll leave you with other pics from Graduation. The quality is pretty shocking as it was too dark and I had a rubbish camera, but they still capture the day in all its glory :-)
