Ending 2025
Well, to say this year has been completely unexpected is an understatement. I write this, sitting in my girlfriend's home, under a heated blanket whilst feeling completely contented having spent the whole of December together. To think I started this year single and not really looking, but being open to whatever new adventures were to come, having started my weight loss journey last November and feeling happier, I think this year has just shown that once you align yourself with your path, everything else can follow. But finding a best friend and soul mate in one, with so many things just too coincidental to be accident, this year has felt like a whirlwind in all the best ways. I'm not one to swoon often BUT I think this is IT. She's the one I never thought I'd find. We laugh harder than I've ever laughed with anyone and I love what we have. She sees me, all of me, even the parts I've found too broken to share before and still loves me wholeheartedly, beyond anything I've felt before. I feel acceptance like I've never experienced, love warmer and richer than I could've hoped for and as a bonus, her family have quickly felt like a second home to me. A space that's also as warm and welcoming, which doesn't happen often. I feel very blessed.
Not gonna lie, I've spent a lot of my 20's back and forth, with a few "almosts but nevers" and years in between certain I didn't really want a relationship - or at least, feeling happy single. But finding someone who enriches life, gives so much love in the little things and is there with an open heart and healing hands on the bad days is an incredible feeling.
My favourite day this year was us heading up to Glencoe, our songs playing, singing away, being dwarfed by spectacular views whilst feeling utterly content ❤️ I can't wait for more days and moments like this as we continue to grow together.
Looking to the year ahead, we have our first international break booked for the end of January. Our first gig in Dublin in March (can't wait! Hands down fav artist this year). Her birthday is April so I want to plan something special since she organized such a sweet birthday break for me in November..
Anyway, enough cooing.. in other news, my weight loss journey is one I'm proud to say I've maintained for over a year. Its the lowest my weight has been in my adult life and the longest I've persevered. I've eaten more food this Xmas than I should've and I'm hoping it hasn't impacted things too much but we get back to it this week! My family are all ok and despite us not spending Xmas together for the first time we'll celebrate when I'm home.
So, welcome 2026.. let's see what new adventures are on the horizon.. ❤️
How lucky am I 🥺🥺♥️ no idea what I did to deserve someone so special 😩
Happy new year 🎆♥️
