Last night I went to see Michael Jackson’s This Is It, which was incredible! Much better than I thought it would be! And going to the cinema was a really nice way to end what turned out to be a really good week. Despite missing lots of things and people, I’ve actually really enjoyed being at home. I caught up with so many old friends during the week which just made the whole trip worthwhile, but having said that I can’t wait to go back to London tomorrow! I’ll be back home again in a month or so to celebrate my 19th birthday, and of course Christmas, but for now I’m just going to make the most of the time in my new home.

After two months away, I decided to come home for a week. It was a bit of an impulse decision, but the intention was to come back for a bit of a break, to give myself a chance to catch up on some work and avoid going out every day and spending money that I don’t have.
It feels really strange being back, even though I haven’t actually been gone for long. But being here has just reminded me why I wanted to move away so much in the first place. I’m already missing my new home and the people there, one in particular, even though I know I’ll be catching up with old friends during the week.
Coming back has also made me realise that although this place holds a lot of memories, that’s all they are now. Just memories. I’ve got my own life now, which is infinitely better than anything I ever had here.

I was planning to get an early night tonight but there’s a party going on downstairs, so sleep is proving to be a bit of a problem at the moment! This weekend I saw my two best friends for the first time since I moved away which was awesome. We had so much catching up to do but, although it sounds cheesy, nothing between us has changed. Today has been a bit of an up and down day but it’s ended well and has made me realise how happy I am here. For once I’m not looking forward and I’m not looking back, I’m just enjoying things the way they are and loving the fact that my life is pretty awesome right now!

So I’m thinking I might have another bash at this, after neglecting my tumblr for a while… Basically, my life has changed in just about every way imaginable since I last posted! I’ve moved away to uni and I’m absolutely loving every minute of it! I haven’t felt homesick once, my housemates are amazing (all 25 of them!) I love having a place to call my own, I love living in the city and I’m really enjoying my lessons so far. The only downside is that I’m broke, but I really don’t care! I’ve also had the most amazing few days with someone very special. I haven’t been this happy or felt this comfortable around anyone for a very long time… I’m just amazed that we haven’t got sick of each other yet after barely spending 5 minutes apart lately! I really wasn’t expecting any of this at all, but I’m very happy right now, I just hope I don’t screw things up like I always do…

I started blogging on tumblr a few months ago, with the intention of using my blog as an outlet for all the thoughts and feelings that I was experiencing at the time. I was incredibly depressed and had begun to lose a grip on things. I knew that bottling everything up would only make things worse and since I didn’t have anyone to turn to, I poured everything out on here.

Doing this has helped immensely, in many different ways and today I’ve realised just how much has changed during that time; I started out with no direction in my life, no idea about where things stood with various people, no money, no job… and a broken heart. But now I’m starting uni in a few days, I know where I want to be, I know who my true friends are and how various people feel about me, I got a job and worked hard to make a decent amount of money over the summer and most importantly, I know how to control my feelings.

Something unexpected but brilliant happened the other day which has really put my mind at ease and I think that was all I needed to start feeling a lot more positive about everything. I’m finally moving on, in more ways than one, and despite feeling quite emotional about everything at the moment, I couldn’t be more excited!

Now that I’m finally happy and probably won’t have a lot of free time once I start uni, it feels like here is a good place to stop. I might post from time to time, but I can’t see myself using tumblr as much as I’d like to in the near future. So until then…

Hmmm, what an interesting day; Happy things, sad things, good things, bad things…
Ooh and I bought a new camera! Just ordered it online, so fingers crossed it arrives before the end of the week! I’ve decided on another tattoo design that I want as well, even though I still haven’t got my first one yet..!

“Oh, how I find every subtle thing screams your name,
It reminds me of places of times we shared
Couldn’t live locked in these memories,
Now I’m chained to my thoughts again”

Yet again, I haven’t had chance to post for a while; Wednesday night was spent clubbing with loads of friends, Thursday was spent shopping in the sunshine whilst slightly hungover, Friday was spent working and going to see Attack! Attack! again, which was awesome! And yesterday was spent having a meal with my family. All in all, the past few days have been busy but brilliant. This time next week I’ll be moving out, so I’m going to do my best to enjoy my last week at home…
