it's never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.

I am going to start off my first blog post with something that is close to my heart at the moment. I have done a blog in the past, I loved doing every minute of it, from the researching to giving my opinions on professional bodies within the spa industry. I wanted to do something a little different this time, I wanted to make a blog that was personal to me, something that I could create so much variety with yet still had some vulnerability to it. 

I think I am right in saying that when you pour your heart out about your life and things in it, a little bit of vulnerability comes with it. I think that's what makes it exciting though and I'm looking forward to my new journey through this blog. 

As I was saying about writing something that is quite personal to me at the moment. I have this friend, actually my best friend, the friend you call nearly every single day just because you can, the friend you think is an absolute weirdo but love all the same, the friend that won't stop talking and you really need to do something for a deadline but she STILL keeps chatting until you honestly don't know how she hasn't taken a breath yet. Yup, I have this friend, and she makes me so damn proud every day. 

You see, we have both recently graduated, and it's our first jobs since university and in this current climate, you absolutely need to break your balls to even get something like this. Today, she handed in her resignation and I don't think I have ever respected someone more in my entire life. I have never felt more proud that she has been strong enough to say 'you know what, this might not be for me, and while I have no major responsibilities I'm going to find something i LOVE'. This girl right here works hard, works harder than most people could ever dream of. I used to be chilling, eating some popcorn at uni and get a phone call at 9pm on a saturday 'yeah, worked until 4am yesterday on my project and working all this weekend at Selfridges too. babe (BABE! She always says babe, absolutely love her for it, cracks me up every time)..babe i have too. you have to work hard in life'. And she did. She worked so unbelievably hard at this new job but she was so unhappy. She deserves to be happy, my bleedin marshmallows everyone deserves to be happy. But she didn't want to be a quitter, but she realised that walking away isn't quitting, it's giving yourself the respect you deserve. 

Me and the BABE. :)

This post is about being happy and in life, you want to do something that you can enjoy. If you are scared about changing jobs and starting something new, DON'T BE. It's a new adventure and Winnie the Pooh had many, incredible, honey filled ones. 

“We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet.
