The cliched ‘life is a rollercoaster’ metaphor is pretty much the perfect way to sum up how my February’s gone.
From the impossible high of the amazing two days I spent with my best friend Kath in London to go and see Taylor Swift in concert – with Cara Delevigne, Harry Styles, Dougie Poynter and Ellie Goulding also in the audience when we were there to! What?!
To the most stressful period of my life last week with three hefty University deadlines to contend with and the unfortunate news that my Grandmother passed away on Tuesday night. I honestly felt like I hit a personal low-point last Wednesday and its times like these I really hate living so far away from my extended family. If you follow me on Twitter/Instagram you’ll know I have my head in a better place after giving myself a few days away from Internet life. This short time away has made me realise that I have amazing friends and am even more grateful to have such strong parents and a wonderful sister too.
Sorry if this post feels like a bit of a downer. I don’t want it to be. If anything this if further proof of how much I need to keep moving no matter what life throws at you – YOLO…ahem.
So go hug someone you love today, ok? <3
