I didn’t want to miss a month…

One of my best friends move to London a few weeks ago. She has packed her life into a backpack and is now touring around Europe and making my early morning facebook new feeds perfect food for the travel bug.

That, combined with the fact that a large part of my happiness seems to have stayed away on Christmas holidays and has not returned this year, has made the last few weeks quite strange. I am missing the part of me that used to wake up in the morning and be excited for what the day has to offer. Instead I have this part that feels like everything is a routine, that I shouldn’t settle and that I should be out there somewhere exploring everything and pushing out the edge of my comfort zone.

I am wondering if this is the start of the bit of my life where I seriously think about what  I REALLY want not what I THINK I should want.

Something deep inside me is insanely restless.

To think, that my friend who is now out making the world her oyster, wouldn’t even eat Asian food a few years ago.

Finding this made me happy x

“Your flaws single you out, set you apart, make you different from the rest, and thank god. I don’t just put up with settle for accept your blemishes, I like them. I like them because they make you human, and humans are easier to love than photographs and illusions and ideals; humans fit more easily between arms and between legs; humans are welcome to their imperfections because if there’s one thing humans can do perfectly, it’s love. Humans can love, they can do it flawlessly. >> READ MORE

A few weeks ago I changed my “running technique”. I found that too often I was looking down at the ground in front of me rather than looking forward to where I was going. It sounds simple enough but I started focusing on the furthest point I can see and running towards it. I realised that I was getting faster and less tired and enjoying my runs so much more.

I guess that’s it. When you’re aiming towards something bigger and being clear about your destination all the little things just fall into place and the journey is so much better.

Some things are meant to be and some things are not. I think sometimes things that you think are helping you to grow and be stronger are actually just pulling you down but you have trouble seeing it because you have spend so long telling yourself it’s what you really need.

this is something that I wanted to start years ago. It has been on of those things on “the list” for so long. So this is it. My attempt at a blog. My tiny bit of web clutter. Enjoy xx
