MOVING AWAY ISN'T ALL THAT BAD
I'm a pro when it comes to moving about and dealing with having to start a fresh but sometimes change is very good and especially when you least expect it to be. Here's five reason why moving on can be a very very very good thing.
1.QUANTITY NOT QUALITY.
You really do realise whose in it for the long run with you. I've never been one to have a large group of friends so I don't tend to get attached to that many people but when I do I really do and that's why it's so important to make sure you chose the right people to share your life with. Another thing you have to learn is that friendship and relationships are built up of two people and although sometimes life gets in the way you have to be able to always go back to that person that makes as much effort as you do and who YOU feel like YOU can't be YOU without. My bestie for life is this beauty and although I've seen her twice since the 6 months apart it's all about the quality and not the quantity(made sense in my head). If you're reading this Jadey you're the bomb and I lavvvvv ya moon head.
2.YOU HONESTLY NEVER KNOW.
I lived in Surrey for 18 years of my life and in that time I learned to walk, I went to school, learnt to ride a bike, I made friends and I lost friends and went through those little heartbreaks that you think you may never recover from but you do.. quite quickly so building my whole life there and then for me to just leave it all behind was something that took my a while to even consider let alone to do it. But I put my big girl pants on and drove my packed to the brim little blue KA to Cambridge and I haven't looked back. Yes at the start I moaned and made every possible little trip I could back to surrey but now I can't believe I didn't move sooner! I'm finally home and as cheesy as that sounds I don't care because feeling like you belong somewhere is more important than trying to fit in to somewhere you never truly felt yourself.
3.YOU LOSE SOME YOU WIN SOME.
Considering I spent 18 years of my life in Surrey, not a single person has come and seen me up here. Now I know that seems like the start of a sob story but I can assure you it's not because this has just made me live by a whole new quote in life 'you win some you lose some' and although I still keep in touch with people from Surrey like my family and about two friends(and always will) I also haven't dwelled on the fact that all those people who were meant to be my friends/family well.. weren't. I know we are all so busy and I miss my fam a lot but I'm also happy I can ring them up and act as if I'd popped round last week for a cup of tea. I'm young and not only do I have myself to still discover (deep) I still have loads more people to come and go and I'm totally okay with that (savage but true).
4.THE BEST IS STILL TO COME.
I'm not going to lie and tell you all that I've found my feet and I'm totally settled because is anyone truly settled? Who knows what career I'll be in next year or what friends will be there with me to experience those adventures with but for now I'm happy and content and It's so important to find people that ground you and keep you sane but also those who make your life that tiny bit funnier or a tiny bit more exciting. I've found a few gems here and I'll tell them now... I'm not going anywhere fast... UNLUCKY SUCKKKERS.
I think this is the most important thing I've learnt because It's made me probably the most happiest. Don't get me wrong I LOVE BEING HOME but I also love that this little shy lonely caterpillar is now a bloody blooming sociable butterfly. I've met so many different people of all ages and I honestly couldn't tell you who was older or younger. I've met the most mature but fun, inspired but also loves a jager bomb and determined but exciting people EVER and I'm so glad I had the balls to get my little retail job, move up the country and experience real people with real goals. Have to say though I've got to give it to my besties for treating me the way they do and being so genuine and warm (getting soppy now) because in a time I thought I would be a loner forever (I'm not kidding) I came across people I wouldn't be Sophie without... BIG UP CAMBRIDGE.
So from me to you here's 5 reasons why moving away and starting a fresh isn't such a bad thing sometimes.
