2011 has been a friggin GOOD YEAR. I relocated to Miami for a year. I’ve proved myself as an independent, young woman by living on the other side of the world. By myself. Fending for myself. It is such a great feeling.
It’s been a rollercoaster ride no doubt in terms of like/love. I was finally able to get in touch with my feelings and emotions and express them fully after how many years of silent suffering. I will never do that to myself again. Sometimes I think if I had been honest earlier in my journey, maybe I would have got what I wanted a long time ago. Maybe this is the case, but you can’t rewrite history. Once it’s happened, it’s done. Plus, I’m pretty sure if the past had been different, it would have affected certain decisions I’ve made - like coming to the States to study for a year, for example. I definitely have no regrets coz I know everything that’s happened this year is 100% real. I’m so excited to see what the future holds man.
I’ve grown closer to my family (if that’s even possible, after how close we already are). The fact that distance does not affect any of us. We are still and always will be on the same page. It’s something like a telepathic connection. It’s mad when you WhatsApp your dad at the same time he WhatsApps you. My sister is and always will be my best friend. We still speak everyday and she knows what’s going in my life as it is happening. That’s my rock. I can’t wait to see my Mummy. Her sweet emails have helped me through the few rough times I’ve had while being away. I love you all, and thank you for supporting me and my dream of coming to the University of Miami. I couldn’t thank you enough.
My London people have supported me all the way. I ain’t gonna name drop but you know who you are. I knew this experience would highlight who my real friends were and they already have. Thanks for still being here for me even from across the waters. BIG LOVE. In fact you aint my friends, you’re my family. The kind of family that come to my house unannounced and use my gas and electricity to make your own breakfast…casj ting. #REAL. LOL.
2011 has definitely been one of the best years of my young life, if not, THE BEST. Hopefully 2012 is just as great, if not greater! My goal is for every year to be that much better than the last. However minor the difference. It’s only on and upwards from here. Forward movement ONLY.
PEACE
