Blogging birthday

Two years ago randomly back in July of 2009 I started blogging. The reason why I started was needing a place to pen things down, I was in my MA year at university, battling with the big wide world, of being in messed up relationships, being single, not knowing what to do with my life, being torn between wanting my independence and being smothered by the parents for being their only kid and of being a shy tattooed girl. A blog let me type things out and think about things outside myself. 

I would never have believed you two years ago that I would still be blogging yet alone be in an amazingly strong relationship (which itself reaches two years in September), engaged to my American boy, be in the processes of living my home country for love. Yet I would have totally have moved the visa thing faster if I had known two years down the line i'd be back living at home nearly at the age of 25 and thrown my degrees in the air and ended up working in a chemist. The two years have had their ups and downs most of which I hope people got to follow along on here even after the months I abandoned blogging completely.

You've all probably come to see that my blog means a lot to me in having a space to put up my photographs. I upload them randomly as and when onto facebook but at least on this little space they get some recognition. I'm not a professional and i never will be, I just take them because it makes me happy and i can escape reality and the future and pressures and just focus on what's surrounding me. Any comment I get regarding my photographs totally makes my day and I'm glad they get viewed and appreciated.

As for the next two years who knows what may happen, the next few months will be life changing whatever way the coin falls I just hope you'll all stick around and follow the twists and turns with me.

Thank you everyone of you who has popped by and viewed or commented!
