So it's almost the end of January 2015 and I haven't posted once yet this year. What the heck? Slacking?I think so.
My excuse is work. I have been working quite a lot. Although I won't complain because I really do enjoy it, pay day is lush too. I have treated myself as well so they'll maybe be a haul coming soon.
I wanted to write a reflection on 2014 but to be honest, I don't want to anymore. I am just going to mention some of the highlights.
I started this blog in March! after umming and ahhing for months
- For my 19th birthday my family visited me in Liverpool. I am happy I could document it on here. I had a lovely time.
- Going to the ITV Studios to watch Jeremy Kyle was definitely a highlight. Such a hilarious experience. I really would go back.
- I passed my freshers year of University with a 2:1 in Psychology and 2:2 in Early Childhood, which I felt really happy about.
- I started work in June and made 2 of the bestest friends in the whole world (Beccy and Abbi). I couldn't imagine my life without them now.
- I definitely became a lot more open about my mental health illness last year. I spoke to my family and friends, to help them understand. I don't regret it one bit. I am proud of myself for helping myself and others who suffer that ask me for help. I have a few posts relating to Mental health on this blog and hopefully i'll write more on the subject.
- Going to Chester Zoo was incredible! I had always wanted to go to a Zoo and I really enjoyed myself with my friends from Uni.
- Moving into my first house was exciting. Living with 6 girls is definitely a challenge and things got very heated at times! but we did have fun. I love my room at uni! and I'll be sad to leave it (that's another story).
- I started my written diary this year, which was encouraged by my therapist and I am so glad that I did. I have recommended it to so many of my friends.
- I was so lucky this year, I got to visit my best friend Daisy in Manchester. My last post was about this visit. We went to the Christmas Markets and I absolutely loved it, so magical! I am going to her house again on Monday. I cannot wait to see her.
- Christmas 2014 was fab, anytime I get to spend with my family and friends I feel blessed. I appreciate them more and more every year. Most of the girls in the family got together for my aunties birthday and it was such a good night.
Lots happened in 2014. It was definitely a roller coaster of emotions. I didn't end it in the best way mentally but I am working on it, there are a lot of changes to be made for 2015.
Hopefully next year around this time I can write something alot more positive than this because I do plan to try new things and live without the fear of being judged. I didn't make resolutions as such, I just want to be happier in myself, and put less pressure on myself so that I can enjoy life more and not stress my way through it.
I am so proud of alot of people this year. Especially my best friends, for simply getting through the year. Some people take it for granted that they get through everyday, but with mental illness it can be so much harder to get through single days. So I am incredibly proud of my friends and any strangers that have accomplished it. They have all done so well. I am particularly proud of my friend Elle for getting into University in Brighton. Although it means I can't see her ever! I know she's having the time of her life. Last but not least, I am extremely proud of my Chummy and best friends Daisy and Lauren for Graduating, all of them are brain boxes and I really do envy their success.

Now i'm rambling.
It was SOOO difficult choosing which photos to include in this post. I don't care if there's loads, these are just the people in my life that made it such an amazing year.
Thanks for reading.
