2010 has been the most influential year of my life so far. It's seen the downfall of my first long term relationship, coming out to my family, accepting myself for who I am, the loss of friends, the break up of my mam and her horrible boyfriend, a new born nephew, the acceptance of my background, turning 18, failing A-levels and then it's seen me turn a lot of things around. The run up to my birthday on December 6th was probably the happiest I've ever been in my entire life, yet there was no reason for it, nothing had changed.
One things that stands out majorly for me was the sudden fluctuation in my nana's health. She's the kindest person I've ever met and I like to think it is her that has influenced my character, making me who I am today. She's one of those bubbly amazing people that you just can't fault in anyway. If I turn out to be as half a decent person as she is I will be happy. Fortunately she's back to good health and I just hope that continues for many years to come. She's my idol.
2010 has also helped me realise the importance of family and I just hope we, as a family, stay strong and get through the tough times and are there together to celebrate the good ones.
2011 will without a doubt bring the biggest of changes in my life so far. I'm starting this year leaving my one and a half year relationship behind. I need to adjust myself back to single life and learn from any mistakes that were made when I was with my boyfriend. This means making sure I stay as an individual even if I do meet someone else - people have a tendency to merge into one when they're in a relationship and this is often ultimately their downfall. I think staying as individuals and sharing times together is a good foundation to a successful relationship.
This new year is going to bring an end to my A-levels...this isn't going to be easy. I know I need to work extremely hard to get to where I want to be but I'm more than willing to do it. It will also bring the end to seeing some amazing people everyday at college which I know I'm going to find hard. One thing I can say for certain is I know I've gained at least one true friend at college that is on a par with my best friends that i've known my full life. I hope that I stay in touch with the people that matter.
I also start (hopefully) university this year. I still haven't decided on if I'm living at home or moving away but either way it's going to bring big changes. Leaving my mam behind to live on her own for the first time in her life is one of the main reasons I want to stay at home and the fact of how expensive it'll be to live away. Only time will tell...
My new years resolutions are: work harder but play harder too, improve my confidence, be more outgoing and make sure I'm doing things that make me happy.
P.S I hope YOU have the type of year that you want to have. Stay strong!
