It's 2012!

10th December 2011

Hello everyone!
I can't believe how long it's been since I last blogged - I believe it was the post about theories back in 2010. I've lived the whole of 2011 without updating you on absolutely anything that's happened in my life; and boy, it's been a big one.

Firstly - I left school! Yes, I actually survived my GCSEs May - June 2011 and came out with enough brain to go to college. I am now at Longley Park Sixth Form College studying BTEC Art & Design and GCSE Mathematics (Unfortunately, I didn't survive that).

So apart from education-related events, the biggest thing that's happened to me in 2011 was my 2011 relationship. You see, I'm not the relationship type; I'm just Liv, not Liv +1. From the moment we started talking, I knew. And I still know though things haven't turned out happily-ever-after. One thing I want to add here is that I wouldn't change the experience for anything, and I'm glad to have made such happy memories, even though there are plenty of bad ones sprinkled in there as well.
The distance of Sheffield to Armagh, Northern Ireland, is great, yes. And we were too young to make the relationship work; but we made it work enough to pull through for the majority of 2011. And I feel like we won in the end.

We met twice: The first time on the weekend on April 15th when I flew to see her, and the second time for a month from July to August where I went to Ireland then she came to England with me.
I can't very well describe how our relationship was. It was simple. There was no complications when we were with each other. thinking about it, it was rather childish; holding hands and laughing our time away. But those memories only make me smile - so simplicity is key.
But I believe that there is always a higher love, and no matter who you stumble across in life, and no matter how invincible they make you: There's always something more. Whether it be someone else who makes you happier, or simply the person you loved all along, but at a better time and in a better, more convenient situation - right there waiting for you. What a lovely thought.
I don't really mind what people say about our relationship, or the hatred they portray about it. No, it's not the most perfect situation in the world, but it's our situation - not yours.

Enough of my ranting now. Goodness me, Liv; You continue to surprise me.
It's 2012 now. A new year, a new me. I know that's the most cliche thing I could possibly say, and probably one of the most-used phrases known to mankind, but I mean it this time.
No more getting caught up and dragged down by things that don't deserve my second glance, and I'm going to be healthier! Yes, I'm on a diet. Woooo. Not to be slimmer (though I wouldn't mind my podge to stop following me!), but to get healthier. I joined my College gym today, so that's a start. My diet's going alright. A few slip-ups here and there but generally I'm doing pretty well, and I can definitely feel my energy levels improving.

So that's all I can think of to write to you about right now, but I'll try my best to get my blog smooth-moving again. Maybe I'll write a few interesting ones here and there. You never know.

Much love and au revoir for now!
Liv.
