RANDOM:

So, another year is over. It's been quite the year, hasn't it? At some points, we've all thought that it couldn't get worse, only to realise a couple of days later that it could. But, let's think about more positive things, because there were lots of positives in this year too.

For me, one of those positives has been finding my way in life. Still a long way to go but, I feel like I've grown a lot as a person in the last 12 months and that makes me really happy. I also feel like that helped me enjoy the things I love even more. From reading to writing, and of course music. I have enjoyed listening to the bands I like more than I ever have, and I'm proud to say I love those bands. If people want to judge me, then go ahead and do it.

I've also enjoyed the English culture a lot. I believe that when you move to a different country, you have to enjoy that country's culture. Complaining about not having everything you had in your country is absolutely pointless. You're wasting both your time and everyone else's.

Because of where I work now, I've also become a very basic person. Too much time spent at Starbucks, but I loved every second.

And of course, I can't finish without mentioning my constant...cricket. For most people I'm just the annoying person that can't stop talking about it, but that sport keeps on bringing me happiness. Lord's has been my happy place of 2016, and The Oval will be my happy place in 2017 (go Surrey! xD). I know it.

Feel free to share with me your favourites of the year. I'd love to know them =)

Un año más que termina. Y, menudo añito ha sido, ¿verdad? Ha habido momentos en que todos pensamos que no podía ir a peor. Y unos días más tarde comprobamos que si podía ir a peor. Pero, pensemos en las cosas positivas ahora, porque también hubo muchos aspectos positivos en este año.

Para mi uno de esas cosas positivas ha sido conseguir enfocar mi vida en la dirección correcta. Aún queda mucho por hacer, pero creo que he crecido mucho como persona en los últimos 12 meses y eso me alegra mucho. Y considero que esa estabilidad ha hecho que disfrute más de las cosas que me gustan. Desde leer hasta escribir, y por supuesto de la música. He disfrutado escuchando los grupos que me gustan más que nunca, y me siento orgullosa de decir que son esos grupos y no otros los que me gustan. Si la gente me quiere juzgar, que lo hagan.

También he disfrutado de la cultura inglesa. Creo que cuando te mudas a un país diferente es obligatorio disfrutar de su cultura. Quejarte de que no tienes lo mismo que tenías en tu país es una bobada. Estás malgastando tu tiempo y el del resto.

Debido a donde trabajo ahora, me he convertido en alguien muy básico. Demasiado tiempo paso en Starbucks, pero adoro cada segundo.

Y por supuesto, no puedo terminar sin mencionar mi constante...el cricket. Para la mayoría de gente soy la pesada que no calla con el mismo tema, pero ese deporte me ha aportado grandes cantidades de felicidad. Lord's ha sido mi "happy place" del 2016, y The Oval será el de 2017 (¡Vamos Surrey! xD). Lo sé.

Podéis compartir conmigo vuestros favoritos del año. Me encantaría conocerlos =)
