In as much as I compartmentalise so much stuff (which I have come to realise may not always be a beneficial thing to do), I can't deny that I do feel sad we couldn't make it work right now. Truth be told, we both wanted it and thought we could be each other's happy ending. Perhaps we may still. 3 months ago, I could not have envisaged any of this. Deciding to move to Sweden and do my Masters degree, falling for the most incredible man, getting really awesome feedback from colleagues and seniors at work.... I'm excited about this year and all the possibility it holds.
So with this in mind, I will continue to write and document my ramblings and thoughts. I am not looking for anyone else - in fact not only am I not looking, but were anything to raise its head I would not take the risk as I just don't want it - so the 'dating' writing may be a tad more hypothetical and surmising than narrative, but what the hell. Maybe I can get good enough that I can ace a Sociology A-Level. Anywho, it's now 12 days into the New Year and despite having broken my office-based Resolutions on the first day back at work (AKA 2nd January.....ooops) I am still ploughing ahead with my 101 for 2013.
