We all get older

We're only six days into the new year, but those six days have been an emotional one. No one wishes for bad news at any time of the year, least so now. It's strange to think it'll be my birthday next week- to be honest I haven't thought much about it until now. I was thinking earlier how strange it is that as I grow a year older, her life will be closer to ending. But I guess that's just the way the world works. I also know for a fact that if I told her this she'll tell me off for being so pessimistic and will go on to tell me how wonderful being in your twenties is!
I used to be afraid of growing older, but I don't think I am anymore. If the last few years are anything to go by, the rest of my twenties are going to be incredible!

(Above- a wish list of all the things I would treat myself to this year if I were either very rich or an incredible thief)

Older and...wiser?

I finally reached the much dreaded age of 22 last Friday, an age I've been anything but looking forward to. Thankfully however, I didn't wake up an old and wrinkly hag as I dramatically envisaged. In fact I've had the chance to look back over the past year and it's strange to see how much I have developed as a person in just twelve short months. When I was a child I naively assumed as soon as you became an adult you automatically knew exactly who you are and what you wanted in life, so it for some reason still delights me when I see myself change as I learn more... 
I decided to have a quiet one for my birthday this year, so my housemates and a few of the uni girls spent Thursday evening stuffing ourselves with tapas before going home to visit my family and to take a break short from Uni work. 



And introducing the most incredible cake I have ever eaten made for me by my housemate's sister :) What a darling!
