Many people have asked why I was doing this. Is it because I want to work in Development? Maybe. Is it for the experience? Yes. Is it a test? Probably. Is it escapism? Most definitely.
I have been reflecting on the past year and how I have found myself here. If you have already started eye rolling and groaning it might be a good idea to click the small x in the top right hand corner now, as it’s only going to get worse from here on in…
2010 can be described as the good, the bad and the ugly and not in that order; actually the reverse order is probably truest of all. So 2010 was the ugly, the bad and the good! I’m not going to go into the details on here but what I can say is that I think hurt, or pain can be a motivator or incredibly debilitating. I am pleased to say that I felt motivated and that is all that needs to be known at this point.
The reason I wrote this blog is that through reflecting I have realised just how much of a lucky girl I am and that is thanks to my astonishingly good humoured and supportive family and friends. So I would like to thank you for being there through the tears, the laughs, the rants, the wondering, the waiting and anticipating, the confirming, the dancing, the countless hugs and the love. For being patient, for listening, for your good humour and sarcasm, for your perspective and for giving me strength. Some examples of this have stuck in my head and made me laugh when I’ve thought about them... the Glastonbury rant, Shambala ‘incident’, flaming cats, coffee and cakes, trying very hard not to cry when perhaps I should have and my most favourite of all, laughing until my sides hurt.
All of you have helped me and helped to get to the stage where I could enjoy this adventure. It has been cathartic and rewarding thinking back and although 2010 was a roller coast ride I’m glad I had some of you to enjoy the ride with. So thank you again and a special thanks to my amazing mummy and sister, there is no doubt in my mind that I would not be sat in India writing this blog without you. I love you all very much.
