Goodbye and Hello

I’ve tried to shut the thought out for so long but I need to face it, my big sister is officially leaving me. She is about to spread her wings and soar like an eagle. It’s crazy that I've actually stopped myself from thinking about it - I even forgot at one point because I need my big sister. Not only is she going to learn a lot - I will too. I’ve realised I depend quite a bit on my sister being around even though I may not show it and we bicker - but we have the best sister relationship. We understand each other in an odd way - it’s so hard to explain but it’s great.

I am so proud of her and I’m so happy she is about to embark on a new part of her adventure. I’m excited to hear the stories and see her smile. She deserves everything because she works so hard and I don’t think she knows how amazing she is and how others and I adore her. She is one in a million. I couldn't say this to her face because …  conversations like this rarely happen and, to be honest, I would cry. She is amazing and I couldn't ask for a better sister. 

I can’t believe she is leaving me. I’ll miss our train journeys, I’ll miss our catch ups at night time, her love, her hair products, her perfume, eye conversations, secret jokes, and I’ll miss her face to face advice. 

I really hope I haven’t taken my sister for granted. It’s crazy how we only remember what another person has done for us when they are about to leave or when it’s their birthday. It’s really selfish and I’m sorry Glyn, I’m sorry if I've ever taken you for granted. 

Anyway because I don’t want to get too emotional - I just want to say goodbye and hello to our new sister relationship. It will be different I know but please let us remain as close as ever. 

I love you to the other galaxies and back Glyn. 

p.s. Thank you for the room

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to you all and of course, I am going to discuss new years resolutions/goals for the year ahead. Although it is a very cliché thing to do - I must admit I consciously make a decision to set some new goals for the year. Do we do this to feel a sense of accomplishment and confirm that we can make some changes to maybe our not so fun great lives? Personally, I normally set goals on my birthday - I think it makes a little more sense. However, I don't  think we should have to wait until our birthdays or new years to make changes. If we really want to make the changes in our lives we would just make the decision to do it straight away. Why should you have to wait until your birthday or new years to be the new you? You have control over the decisions you make for your life so why wait until the Instagram posts indicate a time for you to do so? 

Do we set goals for other people? Or do we truly set them for ourselves? Do we set these goals to get recognition from other people to show that we are moving on with our lives and aren't bums or what do you call it, ‘basic’?

When we set ourselves challenges let’s do it for us and not for the people around us to clap their hands and pat us on the back. If we know change needs to happen - make it happen. 

If you have set any goals or resolutions for this year I hope you achieve them, and if you get to a point where you think you won’t be able to achieve what you set - don't worry keep trying you’ll do it, even if takes you a while. 

Happy New Year :D
