One of the most beautiful things I have ever read...

So, I was looking through tumblr today and I came across this post...

To the one who loves her next,
She’s terrified of spiders. So when you’re out late with friends and she texts you freaking out because there’s one on her window, please go kill it. She won’t sleep otherwise.
She is a total textbook introvert. She won’t reply for hours and sometimes you won’t see her for a week. You will take this personally. Don’t. She’s simply taking care of herself and she’ll tell you how much she missed you while she was away.
She’ll get very jealous. My god, she gets so jealous. Those brown eyes will turn a deep green. She hates that about herself, and she doesn’t mean to do it. Remember, she loves you. Reassure her that you love her too.
On that topic, she needs constant reassurance. Tell her you love her and mean it. If you can’t do that, leave. She deserves more than that.
There will be nights when she goes out and drinks a little too much. She’ll call you to bring her home. When you do, she’ll try to keep you up all night by tickling you and repeating “I love you and I’m sorry I’m annoying.” She’s not annoying. But make sure she has plenty of water and don’t let her pass out until she drinks it, or she will be miserable in the morning.
She is the most independent woman I know. But she’s so insecure, it still breaks my heart. So when she starts an argument with “you don’t love me.” Do not get upset. Remind her you do and the reasons why. She’ll come around.
The cat comes first. Always. Don’t ever think otherwise.
Make her tea and remember the way she takes her coffee. She will notice.
When she’s having an anxiety attack, wrap her up in your arms and rub her back. Tell her she’s safe and remind her that she has medication if she needs it.
If you cannot treat her like royalty, let someone else. That girl deserves the world.
Losing her is a pain you will never shake. Your world will come crashing down on you and those pieces won’t ever fit the way they used to. Don’t let her go.
She will love you with all she’s got. Please give her the same. 
I am begging you to not hurt her. She is golden. Don’t let that shine die out.
Give her your all and she’ll return the favor. You will never have to ask the universe for anything ever again.
— Sincerely, a name you’ll hear in passing.


So this could have happened one of two ways, either the person has just written it to practice their literature or this is real... i'm going to go with the latter. I love how you can tell just how much the author loves the girl. We've never met the couple, we don't know their names and we don't know what they look like; all we have is this. But this is enough because these words alone have the power to make you feel without any form of image.

I can only wish that every girl is loved like her.

2015...

So... I'm probably a little bit late when it comes to writing about my past year and the beginning of this one, but I suppose it's better to do something late than never, hey? My 2014 was quite possibly one of the best years of my life, the first month I spent it travelling and living it up in Australia and New Zealand, meeting quite possibly the best people I have ever met in my life. It's such a fab feeling to know that from one little life choice I've now got friends in Canada, America, Amsterdam, Australia & New Zealand to go to in times of need...

Coming home from travelling was a real come down. I feel quite guilty saying that actually, I mean, it was bloomin fab seeing all my friends and family again but when you've been blessed by a Thai monk, snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef and Skydived over The Remarkables in Aotearoa, normal day to day life is quite hard to adjust back in to. Nevertheless, I did adjust back in to it, making a few *cough* life choices*cough* along the way which upset others but it was needed and way over due in order for me to be truly happy. In 2014 I found myself my first proper employment and as much as it's not remotely in the line of work that I would love to be doing, I'm thankful for what I have as I know that finding a job is not easy these days.

But what really has made my 2014 amazing is (FINALLY) getting together with a person which I can actually see my future with. I don't want to delve to much in to that side of my life though because I'm a strong believer in keeping the things between me and me lover private, with the exception of a few cheeky instagrams here and there... but yeah, quite simply, I've caught a real cracker and life is quite fantastic at the minute.

So, 2015, first things first... please, please, please live up to my 2014. Of course I'm not a wally and I know that to have that then it comes from me but I feel motivated, as we all do the first few days of a new year, but this year feels like it will last. This year I want to remind myself daily that "whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have one and all the fears you have overcome." (p.s. not my quote but thought it was very nifty). And also guys... just be cool and just be you. I can't count the years I've spent trying to fit in, make 2015 the year for everyone to love you 'just the way you are' (Bridget Jones reference there).
