I saw this guy in a tiny, crowded cafe earlier this year and it was one of the best experiences of my time at university so far - this is from his new EP and I’m over the moon. I had never heard this track when he played it and I can’t remember falling so instantly in love with a piece of music live before then.
Last night, I went to the end of year Garden Party put on by the university, held in these Italian Gardens on campus, and it was gorgeous. There were fireworks at the end, and it made me feel quite emotional because, as cliche as it is, I guess it made me think about how far I’ve come since September:
I started University and got through the first two weeks despite my body shutting down on me and not being able to stand for too long without passing out.
I broke free of an abusive relationship that was weighing me down. I regret ever getting into it, but I’m so happy that I did manage to end it.
My dad moved out of our house, and my lovely granddad moved in. I’m currently (and successfully) rebuilding the relationship I have with my dad, and my gramps has commented on how I’ve become a lot more confident since going to uni.
I got into a relationship with the most incredible person in the world after meeting him just a few days into the course. Unfortunately, the relationship had to end due to some personal issues, and it has completely broken our hearts. Every day is a struggle, even 4 months on, but it’s been a privilege to even know him.
I also made it to the Berlin film festival and came out with some cool experiences despite bad timing with the break up. That’s me and him down there in Potsdamer Platz with our bud. The best part was when we got completely lost for several hours at night in the middle of Berlin but we weren’t scared, we didn’t care, and we were just purely happy in each other’s company.
I had my drink spiked in November, with 6 hours of my life unaccounted for, but was taken good care of, luckily. I was also filmed for a short documentary on drink spiking where I talked about my experience.
I became friends with a lovely girl on my course from Norway and she’s made my time here in this last semester so much better. She came at the right time.
I’ve watched the sun rise a few times now and it’s just beautiful in this part of the country.
I also got a tattoo as a shout out to the most inspiring group of people that I know, and recently got my nose pierced.
I’ve lost a lot, and yet also blossomed as a person so much. I’m hoping next year brings a little more happiness, but this has been the craziest, biggest experience of my life and there’s definitely something to be taken from that.
Okay, I’m done! Go listen to that EP up there ;-)
