Learning a lesson.

Over the past weeks I have gradually been improving. Most times when I have the off days I feel like everything is so bad but then a new day comes and I feel better. I am starting to realise these off days are less. The funny thing is that I almost didn't realise I was getting better. I had become so used to and perhaps comfortable with the feeling of darkness and numbness. Now when I laugh I sometimes stop myself like it's the wrong thing to be doing, when really it's something I should feel proud of. To come from the darkness I have is bloody hard work and that is something I need to give myself credit for.

I am starting to see how badly I treated myself, thinking I didn't deserve things. Punished myself in gruelling work situations and pushed till I literally broke. I was not me, I couldn't recognise myself now looking back. It took, probably till now, since the beginning of the year till I have realised that I need to make some positive changes in my life and start to actually respect myself. I believe this experience has been dealt to me in order for me to learn and figure some things out.

Have you ever felt a difficult time was sent to you in order to teach you something?

Bonjour...?

I have decided it is time to start ticking some things off my wish list - which I will share at some point I am sure. Last week I thought back to 2012 and what I wanted to accomplish but hadn't. Learning something new came to mind, in particularly languages. 

I might be able to manage this at least...

In my school days I studied German to quite a high level and was pretty good at it. But I had always wished to have learnt French too. France is synonymous with love and adventure. In fact I like to imagine myself as a Miss Hepburn, exploring the city full of smiles. This has been one of the reasons I've always wanted to learn it. Also, I want to add more languages to my repertoire just for my own personal achievement.

The most important thing...

So, as of tomorrow, I am going back to school. The teacher will well and truly become the student. I know two lines in French and that is all. Hopefully, after the 10 week course I will be somewhat fluent in the language of love... or at least able to order a good meal and alcohol.
Are there any things you would like to go back to school to study?
