Dear Best Friend

Dear Anisha,

 

It seems like such a long time ago since we met. In fact I don't remember first meeting you at all or introducing myself to you because it is as if you were always there beside me. I know I tell you how much I love you all the time and attempt to express my love within text messages (which always end in infinite x's) but I don't think it's fair to say that these messages really can sum up how grateful I am to have met such an incredible person as you.

 

I've realised that one of the reasons you have been my longest and closest friend is because no matter which situation we fall in, you have the heart to forgive me, to accept my changes, my decisions and opinions. Most others would not be bothered to deal with it, whereas you have always thought I was worth accepting and fighting for.

 

Thank you for being someone who I have spent some of the best moments of my life with so far, for being in my thoughts as hope in darker moments and someone I can turn to whenever I feel the need. Its incredible how alike, yet how different we are and how I can be thinking any thought with there being a high chance you will be thinking same. Even the complicated things I cannot clarify in my own head seems to make complete sense to you but won't necessarily to anyone else.

 

Every time I drink coffee, count down to summer or sing a Taylor Swift song I think of you. I feel like you know me inside out and only you have had the courage to stick with me for this long (given the trouble!)

 

I hope that we make plenty more memories together and that we never have the opportunity to drift apart because that is not what family would do. I am sorry that words nor expressions will ever be able to express how thankful and blessed I am to have you.

 

Let our adventures be infinite and our worries be small.

 

Forever and always,

Taylor Swift Concert Hyde Park

 

 

 Yes. It happened. It really did. And it was beautiful.

It was an incredible night and I'm so glad that I could be there with my best friend so we could share our love for Taylor together.

I hope my memories will remain as vivid as the excitement, rush and build up of the whole day.

The venue was perfect (I could smell gorgeous food everywhere) and the day was sunny and hot so we all had to accept that everyone was sweating by the end of the day from jumping around screaming the lyrics of her songs at the top of our voices.

The funny thing is even grown men (in their 30s) knew all the lyrics, of all her songs, off by heart as well as I did. I will happily praise that aspect of their personalities!

We were standing up for more than 4 hours, at a skin tight distance to everyone in the crowd since she also had Vance Joy, John Newman and Ellie Golding singing before her. The loveliest thing is that Taylor not only sang the new songs from her album 1989 but also really old classics as the much adored 'Enchanted' and 'Love Story' (they never get old).

And so the day all ended with hungrily scoffing down a Chicken Legend Burger with chips from McDonalds, at 12 am on the hot and sticky tube home.

Things That Make Me Happy #7 Dressing Up

Yes, doing your makeup, wearing pretty little dresses, straightening your hair and pampering yourself.

I mean, isn't that what every girl wants?

 

Its really a form of self appreciation; to take some time to look gorgeous, feel confident and be excited from time to time.

 

Right now its hard to be nice to myself (or even have a moment to reflect) because of my intense revision/school/lack of sleep/no motivation period. I feel that I have to constantly be revising or I'll be cheating myself which really isn't the case.

No. Actually I am going to try extra hard to be positive because that's what I promised myself I would do. Anyway I do have Spain to look forward to at Christmas - I literally cannot wait!

The thing that really makes me happy is getting dressed up for Christmas and New Years parties.

Wait a minute.

I need to go shopping.

For dresses.

Shoes.

Jewellery.

and Christmas presents of course.

This year is almost over.... *insert panic face*

What type of dresses are you wearing over the holiday season? What's your favourite nail colour because I cant wait to get these girls glammed up!
