Woah! This has really been such a freakin’ h u g e year for me!
So many new things walked in to my life and I am so grateful for the opportunities that I was given in 2013.

I can’t even begin to explain all the new and exciting things that have happened in my life this year.
I guess many of you would have noticed that my activity online decreased in 2013, and the only explanation I can give for that is I was enjoying my time elsewhere! Not in front of a computer screen! It’s a little difficult to explain how introverted I am at times, and really breaking away from my constant solitary computer usage has been incredibly healthy for me.

My year actually started off pretty terribly, and I was devastated to think that my 2013 would be disastrous.
But as the saying goes, “when one door closes, another opens.” And it was absolutely true in my case. There was a lot of poison in my life before; from work, to friends and even from myself. And I believe that this year really cleansed a lot of that out. I managed to quit my soul-draining job, and within 3 days I was already working at a new amazing place! (Let me take a second to say how much I love working here. My boss is great! The staff are all kind and I’ve never dreaded going in to work) I also spent a crazy amount on my hair for the first time and loved the result! I went to my first concert, and attended a whole bunch of events. I got my driving license and a brand new car! I’ve met and maintained a bunch of lovely friends. I attended my first photoshoot with a professional photographer (and a couple more afterwards)! I stayed out all night for the first time ever – at a hotel with a group of  good looking people. And I did my first ever alcohol shot!

And most importantly, I started dating one of my best friends, a cool guy named Ashley.
I don’t think much of the above would’ve been possible without his support throughout this year ♥

So yeah. 2013 has been incredibly kind to me and I can only hope 2014 will be too.
I wish you all a Happy New Year and see you all in 2014!!!
