Oh 2017 You.
I know I don't blog anymore, but no matter what happened I vowed to myself that I would make an end of year post. Because as my blog would have no clue about, 2017 was the best year of my life.
So I started 2017 with one solid friend and two other semi friends. I barely had a social life because I worked so many hours, I was stressed and tired but I felt relatively happy with my life. Now, I freakin' LOVE my life! I left my job, started a new one part time, which is so hard because I've been welcomed to the world of budgeting. But I love it there, I've started college again and currently interviewing for universities for September, I'm studying to be a nurse and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's hard and tiring but I've missed learning and I've made some amazing new friends.
I became extremely close with the one solid friend I started the year with and we became part of a group of the most amazing genuine people I have ever met. I'm surrounded by the most supportive friends one could ask for.
I fell in love in 2017, head over heels love love. And experienced my first heart break. Me and said ex boyfriend continue to have an odd sort of friendship, because we're too much on the same wavelength to just give up everything. Plus we have the same friends and go to the same parties so it's beneficial to be friends.
2017 was the year of partying. I partied in Nottingham, Sheffield, Birmingham, Leicester, friend's houses, clubs, bars. Almost every weekend me and my friends had plans, we've met some amazing people, old friends, new friends, it's been a wild year. And only actually came with three monster hangovers.
New Year's Eve was one of the best nights, spent with a friend and his family (actually the same guy I turned down earlier on in the year. I wrote a post called "fear is strange" about my meltdown of having to reject him. He's now one of the most influential people in my life and we have a lot of love for each other) then we hit the clubs with my newly turned 18 sister until 6am.
My confidence has sky rocketed in 2017, before I was a shy little shell, scared of everything and had no direction in life. Now I'm confident, I have learnt how to be more expressive, less shy. I've gone to meet people without my confident best friend to hide behind, I mean I even had my first date! And I kept him talking until the restaurant closed! (Very unlike me)
Then there's my body. I've been battling my weight since I can remember. Needing to put it on when I was younger, then needing to slow down, then needing to desperately lose it. My average weight was around 12 stone, my highest was 13. I'm now... 10 and a half!! The lightest I've been since I was probably12 or 13 years old.. I joined a gym with my best friend, then joined an even better one with another friend and I absolutely love it! I'm learning so much about foods and exercises, my goal is to be 100% slaying in a bikini by summer.
Me and my best friend also started Lindy Hop, she dragged me along to one of the lessons and I fell ridiculously head over heels. In case you don't know, Lindy Hop is a ballroom dance of the 1940s, it's a type of swing/jive dance. It's energetic and fun and you get thrown around a lot. I'm not quite skilled enough for the throwing but it's so much fun it's unreal.
So that was my very exciting 2017, here's as usual, a few photos to sum it up, only a few because there's too many and I got very overwhelmed trying to pick which ones represented my happiest moments.
