2011 on reflection..

As my best friend has managed to sum up 2011 in a note to her loved ones, I thought I would try to do the same.

After a pretty rocky and emotional 2010, I did not expect much of this year. Even as the clock striked midnight on the 1st of 2011, in my head I knew this was not my year.

Boy was I completely wrong.

At the beginning of the year I managed to find myself in a new relationship. This is something I never would of dreamt of after the ordeal I went through last year but I was lucky enough to have found someone who had manage to restore my faith in men. And despite us not lasting long, and the cock ups on both our parts this past year, we've been mature enough to remain friends and it's something I am truly grateful for.

The summer of 2011 can pretty much be summed up in one word. Mental. On reflection looking through conversations with a friend I was at the peak of my sexuality. Not in a slutty way mind you (repressing some nights out here haha.) But there was a never a dull moment. My summer was filled with evenings out with gorgeous men. Each one taught me a life lesson and opened my eyes to future possibilities. I know if I ever feel lonely I can look back on this summer and know there are true gentlemen out there, and one that will eventually make an honest woman out of me.

And lets not forget the friends I have made from work. You guys made my summer filled with adventures. Frat partys, sunrooms, day rave, banana costume banter, Brighton, xmas party...the list is endless. Thank you for filling my life with laughter this year.

And to my oldest and dearest friends and family. You know who you are, thank you for giving me the strength to put my head down and get to where I need to be for next year. I can say that I am truly proud of myself, that this year I have not even a handful of regrets and I am blessed with true friends and family. Lord knows where I would be without mamma and papa Roberts, and my brother, who has been a massive help to me throughout my life.

So as this year comes to an end I can only describe myself to be a mixture of emotions, sad to be leaving, excited for the next chapter in my life but all in all a very happy individual.

Love to all x
