New Beginnings...

So it's been a few months since I've posted on here. A few major things have happened since then, namely me (finally) getting a permanent (IF I pass my probation!) job - at a spa no less! And that's where the title of this post stems from...a whole new beginning with a whole new me (with the added bonuses of having learnt some pretty tough life lessons, ergo making me stronger, tougher and wiser - well...!)

New beginnings mean a new start. In a new place. With new people. Which should technically be nothing 'new' for me, having done it about four times already! My move from Dubai to here was probably the biggest one of all; mostly culturally. Then moving from London to Leicester and moving houses twice in Leicester should have meant this should have been a mere piece of cake for me. How wrong I was!

A plethora of emotions come with a new beginning. Apprehension, excitement, a fear of not being accepted (with me, the usual!). On top of that, I had literally finished a major show the day before I was supposed to start my new job. Now post-show blues are awful at the best of times; couple them with all the above emotions of starting a new job, in a new place, living with new people (strangers you don't actually know very well at all), and emotions skyrocket. The first week was probably one of the hardest of my life. Luckily I have a bunch of some pretty amazing friends who kept me from driving myself insane with my own thoughts (that's a whole blog post of its own!) and snapped me out of my apparent misery. And thanks to them, I've never felt stronger or more driven to push myself. Saying 'thank you' wouldn't even cover half of how incredibly blessed I feel to have them all in my life, looking out for me and after me. You know who you are and for you I'm internally grateful.

Now all that's left to see is how this new beginning shapes up and where it takes me on this resilient journey we call 'Life'. Onwards and upwards. With amazing friends and family attached. Bring it on!
