MY BOHEMIAN JOURNEY! - It's hard to believe that my Bohemian journey began 15 years ago.  So many things have happened since 2008 it's hard to know where to begin. Reflecting back on my many memories, I can truly acknowledge the scale of my blessings of loss and gain and joys and pains. The multitude of experiences that have converged to bring me to this moment in time.  Off course life is full of lessons, that's obvious, but I have certainly seen over the years I have learnt far more from my mistakes than I have from my successes.  So here we are, 2023 a new year. A milestone that reminds me of where I was 15 years ago. WHERE SHALL I BEGIN? It was 2008 and I was working at a bank (SHOCKER!) with colleagues I loved BUT in a job I hated. All the cliches - 'over worked and underpaid'... the story of millions of similar souls.  I even had to go busking during my lunch hours at work to gain a little more money to make ends meet. Eventually a golden blade of straw came and broke the camels back, I got the flu.  REAL FLU (not man-flu) the proper kind that makes you feel you're gonna die! In my sickened, sniffing, self reflecting state, I started to take stock of what my life had become. THIS HAD TO STOP! The constant living from hand to mouth and the immense never ending feeling of being trapped in a cycle with no prospect of change anytime soon. BUT THEN...DEN DEN DEN..Something deep inside of me told me 'I CAN'. And in a flash, this dark cloud of unhappiness gave way to a feeling of freedom. A wind of change came blowing in my direction and blew what little hair I had off my head to bring me out into the uncharted waters of self determination. I placed my hand on the rudder of my own ship and l took charge of the sails. This powerful almost supernatural  unseen force helped me to step outside my situation and allowed me to say those timeless immortal words 'STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF'! And... I did. YES! As countless men and women in their late 30's had done before me...I DECIDED.. I TOOK CHARGE OFF MY LIFE it was my life after all, and felt it was about bloody time to do so. Within a few weeks I had left my job, I returned home to my family, and took some quality time to figure out what the heck I was going to do with the rest of my life.  Middle age is a funny ole thing, it can bring out the best and worst in people. But thankfully, I was one of the lucky ones back then. Fear, Fiat and Faith brought to me a mixture of luck and determination as I took an unforeseen leap to join forces with a friend to MAKE A MOVIE...! To follow my creative heart to do something  I would be passionate about, I didn't mind that it was going to be in a line of work I'd never done before. CRAZY as it sounds, for me it was no more crazy than being financially, emotionally, professionally STUCK in a job I hated. I had always dreamed of having a job I truly, unashamedly LOVED!  It may have taken me over 36 years to find one. But there I was, 2008 and 40 just round the corner, I was single and it seemed I had nothing to loose but the rest of my life..... James Rea Jr.
