2010...
Where do I begin with the year that was 2010. It was a year full of failing and success all at the same time. It was the year I was proved everything happens for a reason and I know it was one of the best years of my life.
Straight out of school I had no idea where I was going for the future. In March I started a bachelor of Commerce at uni and after my results from the first semester decided maybe uni wasn't for me right now. I don't regret the experience and some amazing friends that I met along the way.
The middle of the year a well deserved holiday was had to the Gold Coast with one of my best friends and having the most amazing time ever we have booked to go again at the start of 2011.
Not having school to socialise with friends made keeping them all that much harder this year and actually having to make an effort really showed who my true friends are.
My birthday was definelty a highlight of the year. Having my friends over, getting trashy then having the best night I've ever had in town was the best way to celebrate turning 19. It was the night I can only remember from photographs and stories but will never forget.
I really only made one mistake for the year and he's not even worth talking about.
Coming to the end of the year I was really starting to stress what I was going to be doing. Deferring uni and only working casually I wasn't sure where I was headed. Declining some amazing opportunites to travel I was starting to have regrets. It wasn't until I landed one of the best jobs I dare say I will ever have. The 3-4 months I have spent there I have loved. It makes getting up daily easier and it came at a perfect time. I have met some of the most valuable people I will ever meet with every day I spend with them I cerish so dearly.
The year ended with a new car (due to riding off the little laser), new job, no boy drama, amazing friends, life experience and the wanting to do it all over again.
It's now the last week of the year 2010 and reflecting back makes me crave for more adventure. Having already planned a trip to Queensland, tickets to Bieber, Usher and Supafest it's already set to be a memborable one.
The life lessons I learnt from 2010 were; remember who was there for you, when one door closes another one opens and to grab an opportunity with open hands.

In life we struggle as individuals
What I feel I let myself down on in life is not telling the people I care and love about in my life just how much I cherish their friendship. I wish I could express my feelings for these people easily just so they know. What scares me the most is unexpectedly leaving this world and leaving things unsaid.
The last few days haven't been the best for me but I love having people around who make things so much better. Life is about the company you keep but unfortunately we are also forced to be around people who we don't necessarily have things in common with. It's hard to spend so much time wishing you weren't near someone but I guess it's just a common part of life.
Recently an old friend has re-entered my life and it makes me really happy. I have learnt differences can be resolved and once you make a connection with someone it's difficult to let go. I have also learnt time does heal pain.
Shopping has become an epic addiction. New shoes, clothes and jewellery almost daily.
An amazingly random shopping trip to Sydney ended in a new favourite t-shirt and jeans and a new love for the city. Spending Melbourne Cup watching the race that stops the nation on the top level of David Jones and having my horse win was an amazing way to spend the day with one of my best friends.
I still can't believe just how good my life is at this moment in time I just wish I could freeze time for a bit longer as I'm terrified of loosing all that I've got.
Recently a friend, boyfriend, son and brother was lost from my community. It was a shocking tragedy that has really impacted on me and those around me. I am so saddened by what has happened but really learning to appreciate each day as it comes. For those who were close to him have really being hit hard especially for such a young and a sudden accident. I hope this has made all of us stronger in each and every way and makes us closer as a whole.
I love my life and everyone in it <3

Rollercoaster
6 weeks ago I was a totally different person. Monday the 20th of October life as I knew it changed. Who would've thought I would find an amazing job with the most amazing people I have ever met. Openning week at my new job was the most intense week of my life. Working 10 hour days involving heavy lifting and learning the ropes.
I had the opportunity to work closely with some of the companies finest from all over Australia. Seeing these amazing people working and having so much passion really had inspired me for the better. I've made close friends with these people and having them have such a big impact on my life and then have to leave has left me feeling empty and missing them so so much!
The last 2 weeks have been some of the best times of my life and I could't imagine not knowing these people.

Who's Town?
Today I am left wondering how I was so lucky in life to have met these amazing people who surround me. How did I get paid today for throwing a party and having the best time of my life? Wish I had the answer and I wish everyone was as lucky as me but I guess I am a 'special' star. So much positive energy in the air that I don't waste my time being negative or thinking about the sadder things in life.
Studying belonging in year 11 seemed so pointless as I thought I belonged then but now I really know what it feels like to belong. So much respect and love for these amazing people! <3 <3 <3

Life as we know it
"When one door closes another one opens."
This is definitely a quote for me to live my life around. When you think things are at their best or worst they aren't. This week I have found a new meaning for work, friendship and life. I can't believe just how lucky I am to have found this new family who is accepting and just amazing in every single way possible. They picked me up when I needed it most no questions asked. I've never jumped out of bed at 7am just to go to work. I love my life.
Now I've sat here looking at the cursor blinking at me for 10 minutes and I can't think of any more to share. I have nothing to whinge about no negative thoughts. This is what life is about.
Learn; Love; Share <3

The week that was
The start to the week started off with a bang. Two major life changes. Boyfriend broke up with me and I started my new job. It's funnily ironic that the worst and the best happened on the same day. After the inital shock of the break-up I am now okay. I am adjusting to life without him but miss him terribly. I'm glad it's happened but it sucks that it had to.
My job is the BEST job in the whole world. I have become part of a new family. Everyone is so unique and accepting to everyones differences and I love waking up every morning and spending the whole day interacting with them. This amazing opportunity is what has got me through this tuff time and I feel so incredibly lucky. I am also so lucky that where I have been blessed to do my core training is in the heart of beauitful Newcastle. I get to look at the beach every morning see surfers with dolphins and lay and bask the sunrays of the beautiful Spring. It's being so interesting learning about people and their interests and also the technoloy and cultures of my job. I have loved getting to know the amazing people I am going to be working with daily and can't wait to open our new store.
This week I have spent alot of time with my friends. I forgot how much I had missed them and really regret hiding away for so long and have now learnt from my mistake so the relationship has definetly taught me some things and I will not make the same mistakes again. Working fulltime I haven't really understood how difficult it is to manage your time. I have neglected some important things and it's something I really need to work on. Finally a day off tomorrow but back at work on Sunday.
When I thought I had life planned out it threw a spanner into the works.
Lets find out what future has install for me, together.
P.S I feel I should attach a video of me from last weekend just so you can know the real me.
