Let's Try This Again..

I do love food. I do.

But I have so much more on my mind at the moment that I can't just talk about food! I have so much to talk about.

I'm 23. Now, if you're at a similar age to me you know what it's like being in your early 20's. Uni has finished and now you're expected to find your way in the world without any guidance. I managed to stretch out my uni years so only finished in December 2012 in a degree that was so fun and vague that I have no idea what I am good at and what skills I can offer to the world.

So I spent my last year at uni waiting to finish. My plan : Travel the USA! I will do a post or two about that because it was one hell of an experience. The build up to my travels was so exciting and as soon as I left I was in my element.

Coming back was another story. While in the states, I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 and half years. Whom I lived with here in the UK. It was an amicable break up, a parting of ways. I am a free spirit and being with my first boyfriend forever was never an option. I knew that, and I told him that. But it was travelling alone that brought everything to light for me.

I am 23! I am so young and have so much at my fingertips! I could do and be anything and I want to try and experience everything! And I wanted that for him to. There was more to the break up which would probably make more sense and sound less selfish to you all but I am not going to go into that.

As I said, the split was amicable, we still live together. The first week back was hard because I got all sentimental, had no hours at work yet and was home alone all the time. I was depressed! And continued to be so for about a month in which I binge ate and gained more weight than in the 3 months in the states.

Full time work and change of perspective changed my mood but not my eating. It took sheer will power and determination to do that.

So here I am, almost exactly a year after I flew to the states on my big adventure, almost 24 years old and I intend to share my discoveries and experiences with the blogging world. This was an introduction. I will elaborate on some of the stated topics at a later date.

But for now I'm a love you and leave you and try make this blog look pretty...
