I never thought this would be me.
I had no reason to leave city life.
I had no visions of me living anywhere else apart from where I was with the people I was with.
Until one day my bestest cheerleader of a friend set off to travel the world.
I messaged her daily telling her to come home, that I missed her.
Then she decided to stay away for a second year.
Rather than telling her to come back I did something totally un-me.
I quit my job, left my 5 year relationship, packed my s**t and booked my flight.
I flew to Australia without so much as looking at a map of the country.
I stayed in hostels and fangirled over my bestie.
A short time later I met my now husband and we disappeared off to the desert together. Took on a 4 month old puppy wolfhound x bull arab and flew her to the UK.
Since then my pace of life has slowed, my health has improved and my mindset is completely different.
I enjoy long, early morning walks.
I like to be in the forest or by the sea and although I miss a degree of city life and get serious nostalgia when I go 'home' I also can't wait to come 'home' again.
Who knew I'd be a country loving, beach walking, weight lifting lover.
Anyway, that's me.
