Yesterday.....

A morning rant!

Four days to Christmas!!! I'm of course excited as hell. What a year it's been! Its nice to just kick back and relax and enjoy the rest of the year with the people I love. There have been times this year I didn't think I was going to get through, but the downs make the ups that much more special.

This time of year is always so cheesy, everyone is reflecting on shit that's happened in the year and blah blah blah. Not that that's not important but through all that looking back don't forget to enjoy the present and live in the moment. The new year won't be different, mistakes will still be made and all that jazz, brace yourself.

My diet has of course taking a slight detour into the land of temptation but that's alright, I'm jumping right back into fitness when the holidays are over! Merry almost Christmas!!!

A Morning Rant

Gearing up for a driving lesson even though I am thoroughly exhausted! I've taken up yoga and all things Namaste like. Channeling my chi and all that.

Its been a busy/weird week, on the one hand I've been focused on getting some things done all the while letting other shit slide. Time to regroup and focus on the big things and let the little things slide. I've realised you really cant get your hopes up too high and recognition for hard work should come naturally and should never be forced. If you're doing things/volunteering your time/effort/skill just to get something in return then you are doing it all wrong.

This week I've also learnt that you can't want something for someone, sometimes you just have to let people find their own way, be a motivator but never a pusher in a negative way. I've also learnt that when people do you wrong you might be desperate to let them have it, desperate to spew and hurl your rehearsed lines of why they have you. I guess we are all looking for closure. Find closure in yourself, write down how you feel, rip up the paper and let it go!

Life is too short not to be brave.

My Saturday Went A Little Like This

SPEED DATING!

I will try anything once. Literally. Of course speed dating was on my bucket list of things to do before I turn 25! There's lots of speed dating events to go to in London and once I'd coerced a friend to go with me it was on. Whilst I wasn't on the hunt for true love I was curious to see what these types of events would be like and if the talent would be worth it.

My friend and I were nervous, but cue the wine and dutch courage we were ready to have a good time and boy did we meet some men! The girls stayed seated and the men would rotate seats after every 4 minutes. The conversation generally started with the banal niceties and 'what do you do?' and 'what are your hobbies'. Nobody I would really consider seeing again although one brave soul did put his number in my phone whilst it lay on the table!

Getting back into the dating scene or even just getting started on dating can be daunting, speed dating can be a bit of an ego boost and really just a reminder that it shouldn't be all that frightening talking to someone new or a stranger in a bar. Even just as a girls night out, I would recommend it, it was fun and different. 5 stars.....now I'm off to check off my bucket list!

Home girl and at the speed dating event!
