I am rubbish at saying goodbye. Absolutely terrible.

Christine and Selina showed me their best “sad faces” at Heathrow yesterday. And all was well until my little sister started crying when we said goodbye. I can’t see my sister crying without following her suit (sorry Christine, I know we were being rather pathetic!).

I somehow stumbled my way back to the tube and basically spent the entire rest of the day being absolutely miserable and lonely.

But today’s a new day. I love living in London and learning new things every day and growing as a person. It’s not always easy but I’m the first to say that life shouldn’t necessarily be easy either. It makes us grow (or at least I hope so) and keeps us on our toes. I will never live a comfy life.

The bonus of not taking the easy route is that you’re absolutely ecstatic about things that are very normal.. Like spending a day in Brick Lane and making potato gratin for dinner with two of your best friends.

BBC said on Friday that there would be “thunderous rain”on Sunday.  Well we didn’t see much of that.

I already miss them terribly and have been eating my weight in chocolate. But that’s fine. It’s all part of living life.

Now I’m excited for the “next” uncomfortable thing in my life – the upcoming Half Marathon! Many thanks to the people who’ve already donated – we’re well on our way to improve the lives of so many unprivileged kids!
If you haven’t donated yet you can do so here. We need all the help we can get!!

So here’s what we learned in today’s lesson: Life shouldn’t be too easy even if that might be a bit strange to understand. If you disagree with me that’s fair enough – as long as you live your life. Existing alone doesn’t count.
