on geography and list making




Iceland is simultaneously one of the most beautiful and desolate places I've been to and likely ever will. The landscape changes like the weather- and by that I mean constantly. When it's overcast it feels like an oppressive grey place, but the rare bursts of sunshine transform it into a breathtaking country of mountains and ocean, fire and ice; filled with every colour imaginable.
Right now my life is feeling like Iceland; overcast with a smattering of sunshine. I'm terrified to find myself in my last year of university with no plans or direction. I realize a lot of people feel like this, but that doesn't pacify the large knot in my stomach. I'm the type of person who thrives on lists, plans and details, and not knowing what comes next is a terrifying first for me. It's funny to think back to four years ago, when I applied for university and was convinced that my last major life decision was made.

Turns out it was the first.
