The List

In 2 months time I'm going to be officially old. Not like when I turned 18 and I thought I was woman...but actually mid-20's married woman old! It's crazy because I behave like I'm young most of the time and my sister (Sarah) thinks I'm constantly "begging it"! The simple reason I don't act like an adult sometimes is because I don't feel like one!!! Even when I'm at work, I feel like I'm a kid playing dress up...using big words and hoping that nobody realises...


This past week has been eventful to say the least...I travelled to Madrid, Barcelona and Milan for work and even though it was a madness, I had a few moments of contemplation and clarity. I have made some good, bad and questionable choices over the years but one thing that was a trend was an incredible ability to think of ideas on a constant basis and my inability to follow them through and actually take one of my ideas to completion. The longest thing I committed to was www.chocolatebridezilla.blogspot.co.uk and that was only for 100 days!!! I'm turning 25 now soon and it's time for a change, I'm going to use this period of time to build up some good habits and drag myself out of my comfort zone which is holding me back from my full potential.
