I fell in love.

I fell in love with reading again, all thanks to this book.

I don't want to give much away for those of you who haven't read it yet, (and you should), but you will NOT see it coming. You won't be able to put it down.

I actually just bought this book on a whim one day because S was doing work. It was so worth it, I really mean it. If you've been stuck on something to read for a while then I highly recommend this beauty. 

It's also coming out as a film later this year starring the beautiful Rosamund Pike and the "Did I leave the oven on?" faced Ben Affleck, and I for one will most definitely be going to see it.

My second new found love is writing:

I've challenged myself to write in this diary every day this year, I know it's early days but so far I have been true to my promise and I'm loving it. I used to keep a diary when I lived away but when I came home there was so much going on that I knew inevitably it would get all angsty and depressing.

I know my writing often turns a bit self indulgent in here, but at least I'm the only one reading it. Not that I've ever actually re-read any of it yet. 

I love it because it gives me so much more clarity than I had before, and it's revealing what's really important to me. Which, as it turns out, is not drinking heavily and dancing the night away with girls you're never really sure are 100% your friends.
