(A section of the Berlin Wall... where David Hasselhoff single-handedly ended the Cold War.)
Hasselhoffian effect aside, I just love this picture. I love the idea that I completely changed my life when I moved here. I really feel like I've begun to blossom. Maybe it's true what they say about your 30s being the best time of life. I'm certainly more secure and confident in who I am, I like myself a lot more than I ever did when I was 22. Of course I still have my quirks and problems like anyone but nothing seems insurmountable.
Happy Valentine's Day ! I'm usually miserable on this day but today, I'm happy, down to my toes happy. I love where I live. I love my neighbours who have taken care of me when I'm sick (thanks Jack for the lightbulbs!). I love the city that I call home now. I love the view from my bedroom window. I love watching BBC news every night. I love a good curry from the place Jack and Zane took me that night. I love my friends here.. Laura and Marco, Ange and Kurt, Ruffina, Sandra, Jas, Anne and Jamie, Bassel, Sean, Usman, Karen, Emily, Jonathon, Mike, and Andrew (my tube buddy). I miss my friends from home. There is no way I could ever have made it this far without you. Your support means I could come here and be the person I always wanted to be. And to you, dear sweet one, I am eternally grateful for listening to me laugh, cry and ramble on. I'm the lucky one.
