New year, new city - Blizzards in Berlin

2014

New Year in a New City

A year of strength, happiness, perseverance, courage, love.

A year of change.

A new year.

2013 was a wonderful year for me, a year full of more laughter and happiness with incredible friends than some people experience in a lifetime. But it was a real year of change, I moved to France as part of my degree, away from my friends, my family and my boyfriend and I won't lie, it's been tough at times.
But I have learnt so much this year about strength, happiness, perseverance, courage and love.
So I wanted to start 2014 with a bang so I went with my boyfriend to Berlin for a weekend in the snow.

Thank god I checked the weather before we left as I had packed sandals and floral dresses when infact due to the -18 degrees and the amount of blizzards, we basically lived in ski jackets and thermal long johns for the entire time.

After my wonderful week in Berlin I started thinking about the future and about the year ahead. My new years resolution for this year is to better accept change.
----------------------------
I have now been living in France for six months and as hard as it has been at times, it has also been wonderful at others. I've lived away from my favourite people in the world for six months but they're still here. Enjoying a wonderful christmas with my friends and family in England and spending new years with boyfy in Berlin have just reminded me that change is inevitable and you can't fight it but if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture you realise that no matter how far you go, if the love you have is real, it will stay the same, no matter the distance.

So here's to 2014, a year of change but who's to say it can't be for the better.
 I'm choosing to look forward to a year full of friends, family, parties, cake (not even going to try and make a resolution about that), champagne and lots of snuggles with my boyfriend in front of Made in Chelsea and Gossip Girl.
