For this post, I’ll begin my story with the most cliché of words. Exactly one year ago today, my life changed. A day I never dreamt about, a day I would have never pictured in my head. It was a day with no expectations, and all I thought of was the end goal. I just had to get through day 1 of school and everything else would fall into place. But there’s a risk in never dreaming about things. You get overwhelmed by reality and become complacent. A lesson I learnt 20 days later. I remember the exact moment of this beautiful realization, and I’ve taken this lesson through the darkest, coldest, hottest and brightest days of my year. Lesson 1: Be intentional...dream of a goal The chronic planner in me obviously loved this. However I admit, it’s both a blessing and a curse. I don’t take to surprises too well. But when you’re constantly mapping out your next steps, life sometimes rewards you. Other times, I learn the hard way that things will not magically work out
I like a man who thinks. I like a man who's witty, who always gets what he wants when all odds are against him. I like a man who's ready to roll up his sleeves and dig through the dirt, literally . I like a man with a past, fearless of who he is and ready to battle his demons. I like a man who's vulnerable enough to let his guard down, yet strong enough to protect his ego. I can't get enough of that man . Thomas Shelby, 5 years gone by in 5 days, and I can't stop watching you! 10 minutes before watching Peaky Blinders "great reviews, but why the dull scenes? I need colour and less murk. Can I really stand the fight scenes, too much blood for me. I need something funny, this doesn't look like it. Oh well, it has good reviews, it must be good for something. Might as well watch. If I don't like it, then I'll sleep" 40 minutes into Peaky Blinders "okay, this took a turn, a museum...simpler times for spies huh" 6 e
