Reading back on the last 3 years, I've got to admit, a lot of it is very cringeworthy. The amount of detail I go into about complete bollocks astounds me. I was also a whiny single person. In fact, I was really hung up about not having a boyfriend. And not to mention the racy pictures I brazenly used to post. I can't believe now that I did. Who knows, I might do it again. But I'm fat now so I will need to go on a diet first.
However, it's great reading. How much I have changed. Even my writing style is different. It's lost a bit of its pretensions.
So what have I been doing in the last 3 years? I will write a list. Remember I love lists:
Got a job at Harvey Nichols
Hated job at Harvey Nichols
Moved into a flat in jewellery quarter
Moved out because there was a furnace under the floor and I was always too hot
Took many drugs
Bought many nice clothes
Moved back home
Went on anti depressants
Bought a £700 camera
This year especially has been difficult for me. I'm a lot better than I was and one of the reasons why I really wanted to get back into writing a blog was because I think it helps me keep things sane in my head. The good things about this year were meeting new people. The bad things I guess were letting drugs get the better of me. And leaving my job because of anxiety. I had a nervous breakdown. I'm ok now.
I'm healthier, closer to new friends, and have a simplified approach to life. And I don't shop anymore. Fashion is a tracksuit I spilt my breakfast down.
Before I go, I still take photos and my Leica is still my favourite but I bought a Nikon 500 this year and have been doing professional style photos. At some point I will post some, or get a separate page or section for them. I'm trying to build up a portfolio. So wish me luck.
