“When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. “It’s all right” we whisper, “I’m here, I love you.” and we lie: “I’ll never leave you.” For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad.” — Neil Gaiman, Neil Gaiman’s Midnight Days |

Good Bye, 2015
Monday, January 4, 2016 @ 3:09 AM
2015 has been one of the best and toughest years of my life. I guess it sounds slightly cliche as everyone tends to say that when a new year comes around, but I really do think 2015 was a year where I had learnt many lessons and matured greatly.
A couple months into the year, I stepped in the world of adulthood. Being 18 I had all these extra responsibilities thrown at me, being promoted at work I was suddenly held accountable for all the employees working under me on my shift and starting my first year of uni, I learnt the hard way that uni is seriously no joke, no one will spoon feed you to how it works and by the end of first year you would have mastered the skills of finishing a 2000 word essay an hour before its due. Due today, do today. Not only did I step into adulthood, but March was one of the toughest months yet. I do not know where to begin when it comes to describing the emotional roller coaster ride I went on, it was a month where simply being awake was painful. I am so thankful for my friends and my mum who pulled me out of such deep waters with their continuing support and patience up until today. Slowly I moved out of my own home, and my independence stepped up a whole new level. I may still be horrible at saving at money and still be super lazy and unfit but I have grown in many other aspects. I signed my first ever contract and now pay my own phone bill, that was when it had truly hit me that I was 18. 18 also meant being able to drink legally and go clubbing, nothing better that drinking and having good music playing. Really. Within the span of two months I got three tattoos, and my mum is rather not happy about that. Either way I plan to get a few more, and hopefully my boyfriend will too, when he finally decides (and saves up hahaha) what to get and when. I must say 2015 only just kept getting better and better, more drinks, more music, more friends. Many tragic and great memories to look back upon. Although I barely did anything really special this NYE, it doesn't really matter. I feel as if after having a rather crappy birthday month and then working on Christmas, it was rather hard to enjoy anything holiday festivities. Either way, thank you 2015, you've been great. |
