Hi there!

I thought I’d chime in with zero photos but in case you care for some rambling you’re welcome to read on .

So today’s 1 December, can you believe it? This time last year I was looking forward to travelling with my then-boyfriend and then moving to London. It seems like this year flew by and so much has happened.

This year has been one of the most exciting yet lonely years ever. I feel like I’ve grown so much as a person and I’m so incredibly grateful for all the love and support in my life. Loneliness has had a very interesting effect on me.. It has made me more appreciative and comfortable in my own skin for some reason. I’d rather analyse loneliness instead of dwelling in it. That has made me get over it very quickly. It is possible to turn something negative into something positive though it’s hard work .

I love my studies but it also put me in a position where I have to watch every single penny. That was my choice though and whenever I feel frustrated because of money issues I remind myself of why I’m doing this. And it’s not like I have to live off cup noodles and can’t enjoy life. So I count myself as incredibly lucky.

Maybe it’s this time of year that makes me incredibly nostalgic. The closer we get to Christmas the more I can’t wait to go back home.
Christmas has never been a big deal in my casa (think manic Christmas tree shopping on the 23rd of December) but I just love it. I love Christmas. Not because of its religious background (I’m spiritual, not religious) but because I get to be with people I love.

So yeah, despite the fact that I live in a fab city I’m counting down the days until I fly back home (17th Dec!!).
I blame it on the Christmas season.

Goodness, this post turned out much more serious than intended. It’s so funny considering that I am usually a pretty light-hearted person. Oh well, like I said, it’s that time of the year..

16 days until I get to swoon over The Hunger Games with my mum, go running with my dad, chill out with my sister and have tea with all my amazing friends.

Bring on the Holiday break!!!

Ps: I watched Lord of the Rings yesterday and holy cannoli can Gandalf run! I totally forgot that Ian McKellen is so light on his feet! My sister and I always used to giggle when we watched Gandalf run around (or when Aragorn sang, or when Frodo’s facial expression was particularly amusing –basically all the time- or when Legolas said another moronic elfish thing)… Oh I love being immature.
