I tend to not like to blog too much about serious things, as it can all get a bit bogged down. However, I would like to reflect on the past year, and truly I must say that everything happens for a reason.
My 30th year started in disaster with what was meant to be a lovely trip to Rome with my boyfriend at the time, which was on my list of places to visit since goodness knows when. Instead we got to Rome and I got dumped and found a person who I considered a friend was truly the opposite. Still we managed to make the best out of a bad situation and I still got to see the things I really wanted to see but obviously my heart wasn’t in it and I was reluctant to throw my euro into the Trevi fountain not particularly wanting to return at that point.
The next few months passed in some what of a blur, but luckily I have amazing friends who were there for me and pulled me through. I kept myself busy and developed quite the social life for myself and so I was never left to mull in my own depths of darkness. If you look back on my past posts you can see how lovely and busy I have been.
I found a new joy to life and realised what I had been missing out on and actually how unhappy I was before and unfulfilled. I was quite prepared to spend quite a while being single and enjoying my single life with my friends, when I met someone fantastic which was unexpected. Being with him (the Fantastic Mr Bus) has made me think of all the loved up clichés under the sun and how true they are so much I am fit to burst with it all, I have never been so smitten and mushy, he is brilliant.
I have to say once again my friends are brilliant and I count myself lucky to have friends who I know will be there for me when I need them, are loyal, caring and most importantly honest and fun. I really hope I can be such a good friend in return.
So from the past year I can say I have learnt the following or things have made me reinforce what I already thought:
• Everything happens for a reason
• Trust your instincts
• If someone stomps on you, stomp them out of your life
• I have amazing friends (friends are the family you choose for yourself, so choose wisely)
• Life is for the living
• Enjoy the simple pleasures life can bring
• There are some fantastic people out there you just have to go out and meet them.
