Sooo... I'm loving life at the moment. I'm over halfway through my first year at uni, it's going great, I'm having the bset time of my life. I have a wonderful boyfriend with whom I'm spending two weeks in Spain at Easter (3 weeks away, yay!) and I really can't wait for it.
I dunno what else to say. I only post twice a year so I should really think of more to say, but my regular blog is at aije.wordpress.com so check there if you wanna know more. i generally post every day.
Right. What shall I say. Well, the last four or five months have seen my life turn upside down (in a overall good way) and they have been more eventful than the whole rest of my life put together.
At the end of March I left work and at the start of April I set off by myself to travel around Europe. Hurrah for Inter-rail. It was the best thing I have ever done in my life, without a doubt, and I enjoyed every single second of it. I came home mid-June and have been filled with this incredible passion and ZEST (what a word!) for life. I'm one of those overly positive and optimistic people that depressives hate. I love life and I love me and I'm not afraid to say it. Why should I be? One of the many things travelling alone taught me is that I like my own company. There's lots of people who just couldn't be by themselves for a few days. I met people along the way, some arranged (got friends living in Europe), but mostly just random travellers, or locals, who were friendly and we got to chatting. I met some incredible people who I'm still in touch with. But even so, when you move town every couple of days obviously you do spend a lot of time by yourself. Personally, I love it. Because I like alone time, I like ME time and I think it's an important quality, to be able to put up with yourself and not go insane. There's plenty of people I know who just couldn't do it.
So yes, I love life.
A couple of weeks after I got home I broke up with my boyfriend after 1 year of being together. It wasn't right and it wasn't working anymore. And long story short things got complicated and I suffered stress and anxiety induced illnesses because of him. I'm not going into details. But through all this I've stayed positive. It's for the better. I'm working again for the summer, I got my old fulltime job back luckily which I absolutely love. In 6 weeks I will start my university degree of 4 years, studying foreign languages. And I cannot wait. I'm well on target for my goal to speak 5 languages by the time I graduate, having just started my 5th and final, Italian.
So that's life really. I'm a better person now than ever. My best friend is leaving in 2 weeks to go and live on the other side of the world for a year and I'm so sad about seeing her go.
