Yesterday, while attempting to navigate steep hills near my house (with very little success - I gave up and parked about 15 minutes away to be given a lift by my lovely housemate who came to the rescue!) I realised just how far away from everything I was. Far away from home (in Leicester), my parents, friends, the other half - and everything I know and am familiar with. I have never felt so far away or so isolated...while watching four-by-fours struggling to get uphill (because the council doesn't seem to think they should have gritted or shovelled anything in the area to avoid this very situation) and being on the phone to my father, I realised, for the first time since I've moved out, how much I miss having everyone around.
Perhaps until now, I was trying desperately not to think about it, to avoid this feeling, to avoid feeling like I'm all by myself (physically of course; emotionally, I couldn't be more looked after if I tried). Being back home, seeing old friends and spending some proper time with everyone really made me realise how much I miss them, miss being around the people I love and who love me back...
I guess I'm just very emotional after an everwhelming weekend - onwards and upwards as they say - I'm sure this working week will sort me and my head out, as it normally does!
Have a lovely week ahead, whatever you're doing!
