Farewell 2013

So the new year is upon us and time to start afresh. There's something about the new year that makes everything so new and fresh with the opportunity to look towards the future and better yourself.
I started last year with the hope of looking forward to the future and making it better than the previous years. I'm a pessimist and really wanted to change that view point.

So last year I started internet dating with the hope I might meet someone nice and have a little bit of romance. I joined the gym so that I could become more like the person I wanted to be and I tried to be more social so that I would feel as if I was living my life a bit more. Those were my resolutions last year and I think it's the first time ever I haven't broken them!
So, I didn't meet anyone online, and I didn't become a gym bunny but I certainly filled those aspirations.

First off, right at the start of the year I met a guy. Although things didn't work out in the end it was the first time I've ever fallen for someone at first sight. (Yes it sounds gay, but yes it did happen!)
First moment I met him, straight away I knew we would probably end up together. It was a bit of a whirlwind romance, but never regret anything that makes you smile right?

After that ended I turned a tad impulsive and got a tattoo. It was my second one and was a beautiful elephant on my thigh. I got the bug again shortly afterwards and added another 6 tattoos in the months that followed. It probably sounds a bit silly, but I felt 100% more confident in myself afterwards, which achieved resolution number two!

I finally passed my driving test, bought a car and started doing things that scared me. I went to many gigs and got in touch with loads of people from my past. I reconnected with my best friend and met loads of new amazing people. I advanced in my job and have generally been a lot happier this year.

To all those who made it special, I thank you!
Lets make this year the best year of our lives. There's so much to look forward to already and I can't wait.
