#3 10 Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week

Hey there,

Seriously though, where did January go? I can't believe we've almost whizzed through February too - this year is flying by! I'm proud to say so far that my New Year's Resolutions are yet to be broken and I have high expectations for the rest of this year. Unfortunately, I had a turn for the worst at the start of this week and my fairytale relationship has come to an end. I am determined not to let this bother me and sometimes I think to myself it was a blessing in disguise. Love is a foolish emotion and I'll admit it hasn't been easy, but luckily for me I had the support I needed to make this week a good one!

1. Interacting with new bloggers on Twitter

2. Involving myself with a new group of friends

3. Watching the sun set in the evening from my office.

4. Finally meeting up with a good friend of mine.

5. Spending hours on Skype uncontrollably laughing to myself. 

6. Seeing my favourite bands play live at the O2.

7. Forever performing into my hairbrush in front of my mirror, being a diva.

8. Wasting pennies in the arcades. 

9. Messing about with my friend's dog.

10. Having a well deserved lie-in on a Sunday.

Bye for now! Xxx

A letter to myself | This time next year...

Hey there!

Recently life has taken me on a real roller-coaster of events - cliché I know, but seriously if you knew what I've been through in these past couple of weeks, I'm sure you'd agree that it's appropriate. There are so many things holding me back from my ultimate goals I wish to achieve and I hope to overcome them one day. Most  importantly though, I'm determined to stop this constant battle I fight with myself everyday, so focusing on the present is priority! 

Vanessa, 

One whole year ago today, you wrote this letter to yourself. I hope wherever you may be, that you're laughing at how silly this all sounds right now, knowing that in the past 365 days of last year your life has changed more than it ever has before and you're now a transformed woman. Or maybe I'm just daydreaming again, you know how good I am at that...

I'm writing this to you, almost 2 months into my apprenticeship, sat alone in the cosy little corner of my very own office, remember that? Fingers crossed you haven't messed up in your job and are still sat here 365 days later in a brand new office, knee deep in paperwork, powering through - wow, I'm happy for you! 

How did you cope with last year's New Year's resolutions? You better not have let me down, I'm counting on you to do well! You better have shed that weight you've promised me you'd lose since forever? I hope you're not still binging on chocolate and any other greasy temptations you can find? I hope that jerk of yours last year has become a man and is treating you well - I'm really praying you finally work out! 

You're a legal adult too and I bet you still haven't bothered with driving lessons...*rolls eyes* I'm not surprised, you've always been a professional procrastinator, but I hope this time you've surprised me!

Anyway I better be off, I've done way too much procrastinating at work already today...

Bye for now! Xxx
