25 Lines for 25 Years

Hi Guys! So as you all know just over two months ago I turned 25! I don't think day by day I have felt any real difference, however looking back even to this time last year everything has changed! So I thought why not share with you 25 lines that have brought me to my 25 years.

3 things to remember on International Women's day

Unless you are living in a hole, or didn't get access to social media or any media for that matter, today is 8 March aka International Women's day. I must admit for most of my life this day has only been noted through the likes of an email from my mother or a random social media post, nothing that stuck with me for more than a second or two. However drawing close to the big 2-5 and hopefully with it a few more added years of wisdom, I feel this day offers ALL of us of both genders, some key points to note.

New Year, Same Me

I would like to apologise for my absence lately as I have been off home to Vienna to spend some much needed time with my family and friends over Christmas! But now with the first week back at work over and done with, I am ready for 2016!

However as much as I hate looking back in life, 2015 has been a great year too! To sum it up, I graduated from my MSc, I got a job that I love and was also fortunate enough to have met some crazy cool people. Last year I also pushed myself to start this blog and since that moment it has been brilliant, ironically I find myself in a position now caring less about the opinions of others than I initially thought. I realised through this beautiful process that I was doing this because I love sharing my thoughts and ideas with others.

In the last couple weeks I have read countless posts about the new year, some about the merits of the previous year, others with resolutions for the next and yet here I remain with a few thoughts, mainly confused as to what 2016 may hold for me. In between all the rush of my short trip home I managed to watch 'Lost in Translation' and a Bill Murray line seems to have stuck in my head ever since.

"Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be. 

Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."

As the curtain falls

It's my last weekend in Cardiff this year before I head home and that naturally has put me on reflection mode. Like everyone else I have had a year full of ups and downs, but what's important is to make sure to end the year on a high note and you my lovely readers have helped me with this, so a big thank you to you!
