GRADUATION! And thank-yous and things.

Hello my wonderful, beautiful friends. :)

I know I haven't been updating this blog very regularly recently, but I just wanted to make a quick entry sharing some of my recent musings following my graduation last weekend (Bachelor of Education in Drama and English... WOO!) B-)

I wanted to say thank-you to everyone who wished me congratulations over the weekend. :) It was very sweet of you all! It was indeed such a lovely feeling to walk away from four years of hard work with that pretty qualification. :) .. And maybe a skill or two!

Also, I wanted to say thank-you to all the wonderful friends and family who stood by me throughout the ordeal, which wasn't always hugs and puppies... in particular during the emotional roller-coaster I went through when I developed my vocal dysfunction and didn't think I would be able to finish my degree. I'll never be able to explain what the love and support of my friends during that time meant to me.

Even when I wasn't able to speak for months at a time, there were still those who would show up at my front door with love and smiles, insisting that they wouldn't rather be anywhere else. They somehow made me feel important, even though I couldn't see how I would ever be able to achieve the things I wanted to. They made me feel heard, when I couldn't even speak. They made me feel as though I could do anything, even when my body was telling me differently.

Thank-you for believing in me.
And thank-you for being there for me.

I came very close to quitting at this stage, but I didn't. Through YOUR love and support I didn't. I found a way. :) 

I'm lucky enough to have these people in my life, as well as a faith which I treasure and a purpose I can strive towards every day as I begin my journey as a teacher... assuming I can ever finish my CV that is! :p

I'm excited about what my future holds now. I'm moving back to the UK soon to start a new chapter in my life and looking forward to integrating my future as a professional teacher with my passion for the arts and desire to serve humanity. :) I'm not sure where exactly I'm going to end up, what exactly I'll be doing and to be honest... how I'm going to afford all this. But I know that I will! And its exciting! :D

Until next time my pretties, ;)

God bless. x

PS: A message to all of my friends, I hope you all know that regardless of how well we know each other, or how often we may speak, if you are ever lonely or going through something difficult where you need someone to talk to or support you... I am here. I know what it is like to be cut off from everyone you love, and I want you to know that there is always a way to connect to the world around you... you just need to have faith and believe that things will get better. They will, even if its not in a way you anticipate. Oceans of love. x
