Single At Christmas

This time of year can be hard for some of us. Especially as we're coming up to Christmas then there's New Year. People will be celebrating their first Christmas as a couple. There'll be engagements, baby announcements, celebrating getting their first home together. Even just having someone special to celebrate Christmas and New Years with. Personally, I've never bought a Christmas present for a partner or even shared a New Year's kiss with anyone. I don't know if that makes me lucky or not that I still have that milestone to achieve but it does bring you down. Especially when there's movies like The Holiday and Love Actually to remind you how single you really are. 

I did have a small hope when I went for drinks with someone two months ago that this year might be different. Sadly I think I fell at the first hurdle and I may have even lost my chance at anything happening but I haven't given up hope because you never know what can happen, although probably nothing this year. As they say, there's always next year. I think people forget the single, lonely people at Christmas time because we never get invited to spend Christmas elsewhere or celebrate new years away. That's the small snag of not being invited to things. I guess I've just been unlucky really in regards to my social life. Yet I know one day, maybe next year or in a few years or ten years time. When I'm in a happy relationship with someone, I can remind myself that it was worth the wait of not experiencing a first relationship at Christmas or having a New Year's kiss with a random person. Hopefully it will be with someone special. 

Anyway, enough of me being soppy about what ifs. This year I'm spending Christmas and New Years with my family, so it's a different kind of love. I'm going to make the most of quality family time and just be grateful for what I have at the moment. I know I'm not alone being single at Christmas and New Years. There's plenty just like me. Some of you are probably reading this post right now, thinking yep that's me. To you I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. To those in happy relationships, you don't need me to tell you. Your partner can say it to you and you can tell them. I'm kidding. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Thank you for taking the time to view my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I...

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo...

Chapter Eleven

Image
I feel like I say this at the start of every month but I can't believe how quickly October went. It felt like it was a complete blur and now we are in November. Just two more months left of 2024 which feels crazy to me cause I've done so much this year that this year has honestly been the best year for me. This month, I don't really have much planned. I actually finished my Christmas shopping a couple of days ago so I don't have any Christmas shopping to do this month which is great cause it means I can save a bit of money this month. I think I'm going to Manchester to enjoy the Christmas markets at the end of the month which I'm excited about. Plus I'm going to see the fireworks on bonfire night. Other than that, I don't really have much planned for this month. November is definitely a chill month for me especially when I've finished my christmas shopping at the end of October, it's usually a relaxing month for me. So yeah, I don't have anyt...
