Oh there it is: the last day of 2013.
I cannot believe the year’s over already! It’s gone so
quickly… I just love how the city is buzzing with excitement. Everyone has put on something nice and sparkly to welcome the new year.
2013 was a great one. I have settled more into my life in London now, got
a permanent contract at work and I am still not tired of this beautiful city. Success!
But it had some rough patches as well. There was a lot to
take in as I faced things that I have been avoiding for a very long time. Turns
out there’s always something new to learn about yourself.
Luckily there is always a bright side to everything. So
facing these issues has been one bumpy ride, yes, but it has shown me again how
lucky I am to have such supportive and wonderful people in my life.
My friends have been very understanding and just never get
tired of reminding me of the good things when I tend to see only the negative
side. As well as my family, whose love and support give me so much strength.
And, boy, did I have good times this year. I’ve spent quite
some time at airports going from England to Germany back to England and then
four months later do it all over again. London blessed me with another
beautiful, warm summer filled with adventures. And going to the pub with ze
Jules and other colleagues or spending a day at Westfields with Fatima is
adding up to many, many hours of laughter, drinks and food.
And I’ve gotten back into dancing, which will hopefully stay
in my life for ever now.
This year was about learning and accepting and having fun.
And it was fantastic. Thank you, 2013.
So I don’t have any specific goals for 2014. No long list of
things to do or fixed plans to stick to. 2014 is going to be about improvement,
preparation and security.
I have to keep my finances is check, mate! And I will
probably spend a lot of time studying my buttocks off – these A levels are not
gonna write themselves….unfortunately. Another big thing for me will be feeling
secure – in relationships and about myself.
And now it's just a couple of hours until midnight…
But tonight I am going to stay inside, have a little piece
of chocolate cake and watch the fireworks in my jim-jams.
I wish you all a very happy new year. May 2014 bring you
loads of love, laughter and happiness – and a pocket full of magic!
