Lucy's wisdom

June 7th 2006 07:24
After Lucy’s three month relationship with boyfriend Chad* ended last year she has come to some conclusions about what her life is really all about. Unlike many girls her age it’s not about snagging the hottest guy or attending all the coolest parties. Though unlike older women it’s also not love or career that is behind the steering wheel of Lucy’s existence. “[It’s] my happiness. If I’m not happy I don’t think I’d stay that way very long and I’d try to get to the source of the problem quite quickly. At the moment it’s family and self [that make me happy]. I have no idea what sort of career I’d pursue!”


“I have no idea what sort of career path I’d like to follow at this stage! At the moment I think I’d like to become a solicitor but things aren’t really going according to plan!”
This may be sounding all very real to most of you, as well as the desire to “have more money and more certainty as to what the future holds for me!” But what happens when you venture into the big bad world of solidifying career paths and searching for ‘The One’? How do you know when to make crucial, life-altering moves that may change your life and your values forever?

Lucy's story

June 6th 2006 02:39
Lucy, 21, is a typical Australian girl. “This sounds sad – and I have just realized how boring I am! I am a full-time student (all of 8 hours a week!) at Sydney University doing a Bachelor of Economic and Social Sciences with a double major. I work part time in an accountancy practice and I enjoy the beach, shopping and buying clothes (when I have the money), partying and going to see live gigs.”

But Lucy is not alone in thinking her life is boring. She thinks the best aspect of a relationship is “really getting to know somebody” and the worst is “the awkward break up conversations” (girls everywhere cry out in empathy!) Aren’t these two of the most extraordinarily exciting yet dreadfully daunting experiences of almost every girl’s life? How can they possible exist in a boring life? These circumstances alone constitute a life where our fragile mind, body and soul are subjected to matters of the heart – be it skipping beats or wrenching aches. Add this bewilderment to an already perplexed world of intricacies and you have the ingredients for one simple fact - that every girl (and boy) leads a pretty spectacular life!

Calling all Bridget Joneses!

June 5th 2006 02:30
The trick of life is not getting what you want but wanting what you want after you get it” – Katharine Hepburn

Think about your life for a moment. What do you value as the most important entity? It could be friends, career, love, self or a number of less obvious factors. Are you part of a large social circle or do you have a small group of close-knit gal pals? Are you in your dream job or are you still hunting for something more fulfilling? Are you single, attached, in between suitors or on the rebound? And do you count yourself as a life value, or do all the above overshadowed the importance of self-worth and awareness?
