2017, A Year In Reflection

Dear 2017,

There is no denying you have been a difficult one, and you've flown by quicker than I've known any other year. I never pictured me to be in the place that I am now, but that's okay because you've taught me things; that I don't really want you lingering around into the new year. As that year will be mine.

Looking back you've also given me a bunch of good stuff. Stuff that I am forever grateful for. Like my two new best friends; Shadow & Link. I never thought this time last year I would have two furry little rat friends, though it's always been talked about. Though not quite a dog, they have become great company.

I saw my hamster pass, though it may be 'just a hamster', I loved it like I would any animal, and strangely brought back memories of my dog. 

It saw my Dad in hospital in a state i've never seen him in before, it made me realise how life is too short. It made me realise how non of us are invincible, life is unpredictable, and any one can become sick at any time, so we need to make the most of it. 

You let me see my favourite band play 6 of their albums in full. No doubtably one of the best experiences of my life. I will forever hold this experience close to my heart.

I got to travel to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Rome for my 26th Birthday present. I couldn't have asked for a better gift. I hope next next I get to travel some more. I want to see Switzerland and I am going to try and make that happen.

I went on the London Eye, something I have always wanted to do but never had the chance. Something that made me realise (again) that maybe I'm not good in small spaces up high!

2017 you made me stick to one of my resolutions; to start writing more. Although I still don't do it nearly as enough as i'd like to, i'm doing it at my own pace, and i've stuck to it. I think that is something to be proud of. As for all my other 'resolutions' there is still room for improvement. 

I've started to let my creativity out more, and I have realised that this is something that makes me truly happy. It brings me calm. 

I've learnt a lot of lessons this year, some that may have slipped my mind right now. The biggest one of all being that I want to make 2018 my year. I know that is a pretty standard saying. I want to know my heart and soul feel happy.

Witch Casket Unboxing // December 2017

The best time of the month! Witch Casket day has arrived! Yay! 

I got my first subscription box last month (which I have also made an unboxing video / post for. You can find that here) and I absolutely loved it, and this month felt like it was a notch above the last; how is that possible?!

I loved the idea of the misfortune cookie; mine said "If today were a fish, i'd chuck it back in if I were you", which made me laugh and is just a bit of brilliant fun. (I hate the taste of fortune cookies though). My pendulum I was made up with because by the looks of other peoples, everyone got a different colour. My favourite colour is green, and it has such pretty detailing on the stone; I think I got extra lucky!! 

Anyways, heres an unboxing video, and list of contents in the order of the video (incase you want to skip through) 

Roll on January! Plus I can't wait to use my calendar! So cute!

Mastodon // Brixton Academy, London // 10.12.17

Brixton Academy is just one of those venues that holds a lot of memories for me. It's also funny how it was exactly a year ago to the day that I was here in this very venue, watching Bullet For My Valentine play The Poison in full; which still happens to be one of the most memorable shows of my life. So far.

Waking up to the snow today was interesting. No one believed me when I said it was going to snow, not even the man in the post office the day before haha. There was a lot of hassle with the trains, because of course any slight weather drop, and the trains can't handle it, but we eventually made it.

I've never had the chance to see Mastodon before. Dan on the other hand has done quite a number of times. I guess as i've never even watched any live footage of them before on the internet that I went not knowing what to really expect from seeing them live; But there was something about this was different to other shows I have been to. I felt like it was really just about appreciating the music tonight, you know standing and taking in the band as a whole. 

Coming home was another thing all together. We arrived back at Euston to only have to wait another 2 hours for a train; it was freezing, and i've never ever been so happy to hear the noise of the opening train doors to let us in to the warmth.
