Blog Virgin

OK I admit it I’m a blog virgin, so please be gentle with me!

I love writing, so here I am: female, 31 years old, accountant by day, trainee acupuncturist on the weekend and aspiring singer/pianist in between.  I’m still reeling from the effects of a quarter life crisis as I woke up one sunny morning and thought “why the hell am I an accountant, I hate numbers”, and suddenly the toilet cleaner’s life at work seemed so much more appealing than mine.

6 years on and I’ve come out the other side. Granted I’m still an accountant, albeit a contract accountant but it purely pays the bills.  There is no staying late to impress the boss; no brown nosing my way up the mystical rungs of the corporate ladder and no demeaning performance reviews or three letter acronym HR fads for me.   I feel free …

If my life were a book, I might be interested enough to read on to see how the next chapter unfolds … whereas before I might have used it to swat flies, or pick up cat poo.  Thankfully, you can’t use blogs in the same way.

For the past 6 years I’ve debated whether to pursue a career in acupuncture or singing … singing or acupuncture.  Whilst my absolute passion is singing, I’m ashamed to say the slim chance of being able to make a decent living from solely singing has lead me to try and balance the two, with varying rates of success.  The next 9 months will start to unveil the fruits of my 6 year long quarter life crisis “get your life back on track plan”

I will be treating real people, after 3 years of studying, hopefully recording my first proper demo CD, competing in the regional finals of a talent competition …  so I thought I’d take the opportunity to blog it all in the vain hope that someone out there might find it a teeny bit interesting; maybe even inspiring.
