Beginnings...

So, apparently home can be too comfortable. I have heard people say this one too many times but to be honest, it is hard to resist home. When I say 'home', I am referring to my mother's house. Everytime I am in my mother's house, it takes me a couple of days (or weeks!) to gather up the energy to go out (to anywhere!)... even at 30 years old! Lol.

Recently, I completed my masters degree and I am sorry to leave the student life behind; one full of dreams and excess mental and physical energy. It is time for the 'real' real world; with emphasis on the belief that my life after my undergraduate degree was not that real, it was one of denial to say the least. So, abruptly, (after a week or so of comfort at home), I decided to leave home and move back to Leicester (where I completed my postgraduate degree), find a place to stay and start a job that I was very uncertain about. My boss had called me right after I had moved back home to Reading to offer me this job. After less than a week of thinking about it, I decided I needed to light a fire under my ass, and LIVE... and so, I moved and took the job. Needless to say, I did not want to spend my days indoors, complaining that I had no job and feeling sorry for myself.

Finding a place to stay was stressful to say the least but this is a story for another time ;). I am grateful to my friend Jade, for allowing me to place my bags in her house and pretty much leave the same day after realising that I am actually scared of cats (She has two! cute ones but I have to be awkward, lol).

Here I am in Leicester, living with the most amazing landlady, finally starting to feel and enjoy my job and waiting to see what the future brings. I don't know if I will be here forever, but I have to start from somewhere. I have definitely learnt that I have to build my life and stop being afraid of the unknown. Wish me luck!
