Life

I made a bet with myself in the car earlier that I wouldn't be able to think of a better name for this post. I (obviously) won. Go me. Anyway, I couldn't think of a better title because nothing else really fits for what I'm about to say.

Life has been good for the past few days. Friday was spent mainly sitting about in the sun with 'the gang' and then just Keyana, Natalie and Katie, laughing and just being. I then had a surprise visit from my cousin, Becky, which was nice, and then I went out for a meal to celebrate my brother's birthday (a week late, 'cause that's just how he rolls...) On Saturday, I braved a car journey with Becky behind the wheel...clearly I survived :P Joking aside, it all made me realise something: we're growing up.

It's not long ago that we felt SO grown up walking five minutes to my local shop because she wanted a peanut butter Kit Kat (don't even ask...) Now, we're going about places in her car...it doesn't seem like it should be allowed, but it is, and it's just the next chapter in our many varied, unusual outings :) And soon, I'll be able to drive us places too (oh dear...)

It's like I hated college so much because it symbolised growing up, and I didn't feel ready. It's funny how the realisation that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing came totally independently of college. Though, to be honest, college has given Becky and I something to talk about, something that's not just our family, anyway. 

I also did something totally foreign to me for the first time in a long time this evening - I relaxed, properly. I sat down and watched all of Eurovision 2009, and I can tell the difference in how I feel because for once, I'm not itching to get up and do college work.

I'm going to bed now, Jade (Amnesty Group) and I have been planning cool surprises for one of the meetings after Easter...muahahaha ;)

Besos ♥
