Reflecting on 2014

I don't know how interesting this will be to anyone because it is something very personal and I do feel slightly uncomfortable posting this, but I thought it would be good for me to just sit down, gather my thoughts, and try and get my head around the past year.

Around this time last year I was crying about 3 times a day, going to a psychologist once a week, on medication, and failing school.

Since then a lot has happened.

I became medication and psychologist free, my mum's cancer got cleared, I started this blog, I dropped out of the international baccalaureate, I moved from France to England without my family to live with my grandma, and started A Levels at a new college.

Wow.

You might be sarcastically thinking 'ooo great... well done...big deal...' which is understandable, everyone goes through lots in their lives. But for someone like me who has always had quite a stable life with every year being pretty much the same as the last, this has all been quite overwhelming to say the least.

I'm not going to say my life is now exactly how I'd like it to be and everything's great, because it isn't, but at the moment I'm just relieved at how much everything has improved. This is the first time in ages that I've felt like there's a chance that things will get good again.

Hopefully in a years time I'll be sitting here blogging about how great 2015 was !

  2. It takes a lot to create a blog, let alone be personal with your readers. I'm sure you have a following of individuals who love to hear how you are doing (count me in). Happy new year :) I hope 2015 is a little bit better than the last x
