A year ago today my life changed suddenly and I went through possibly the worst time of my entire life. I seem to recall the day itself not much at all and the conversation that changed everything is a surreal soundbite in my mind.
I thought I would never be happy again and was operating in a state of confusion and sadness that topped anything else (...and there's been a few corkers tbh).
Anyway here I am one year later; sat in my beautiful (if chuffing cold) flat, healthy (if somewhat hungover), happy (if a bit bruised) and successfully living more of a life than I have ever done so before.
This isn't a 'hay I'm great everyone congratulate me on my amazingness' thread (though feel free ^^) it's a 'wow you never know where life is going to take you' thread.
In the last year I have made more truely excellent friends than I have ever had in my life, stayed out late, sung and danced my socks off (badly) in front of lots of people, jumped off a 75 foot tower on a bit of string, been to a sci-fi convention, gone 150 mph on a motorbike, run into a wall at top speed to test the cushioning effect of a wonderbra, run in a race, seen gigs and shows, gone to barbecues, travelled to strange and exotic places (swindon, Cardiff, ross-on-wye, oxford, Wales) drank more alcohol than I have ever drank in my sodding life rofl, socialised, explored, laughed till I cried, sometimes just cried...but then had a cup of tea and was ok again, obtained a frog, new piercing, new tattoo and new hair shade and generally proven to myself that I am one strong motherfucker.
If I could time travel and go back to this time last year I probably would not recognise myself and I would certainly not believe myself when I told myself that I would be happy again.
Live it up kids, you really never know where life is going to deposit you next, make the most of everything you can my dears and tell people you care about how important and wonderful they are because you never know where they are going to be either.
You're all wonderful, thank you for being here for me
