As far as years go,
2015 is one I'll be glad to say goodbye to. There's been some good points; my
holiday to France in the summer was amazing (you can read all about it here).
The sun, the heat, the relaxation, the sights. I'd go back in a heartbeat! I've
also gotten to try out some new things like Pointe
and pole dancing, and I've got to see
Wicked and Les Miserables on stage. Two shows I've wanted to see for a long
time. I also got a weekend away in London so after 24 years of living in the UK
I can finally say I've visited my capital city.
But there's been
some low points too. Failing my exam was definitely one of them. I've never
failed anything in my life before, so this came as a shock to me is something I
didn't cope well with. Work making the changes it did, and the impact that has
had on everything else has made this year very difficult and on occasions, very
overwhelming. But by far the worst thing in 2015 was losing my Grandad. Not
being at home meant it came quite out of the blue and took a long time to come to terms with.
He was a big part of my childhood and it's very weird to think he's not around
anymore.
The things I've been
through this year, both good and bad, have taught me a lot and I've had to grow
as a person to cope with some of them. It hasn't been easy, and at times I have
wanted to throw in the towel and give up on some things, but I've persevered
and come out at fighting at the other end. I may not have enjoyed you 2015, and
I am glad to see you go, but I just need to say 'thank you' for all that I've
learnt. Goodbye!
