The start of a new Chapter
The coming months will bring changes and new beginnings for many, not just myself. I will soon be moving north to Glasgow and I feel sad to be saying goodbye to Manchester (for now!). But saying that, with change comes new experiences and personal challenges, and it is this which I want to embrace and make the most of my year in Scotland.
Only briefly have I visited Scotland – Edinburgh for a weekend, Glasgow for a day! Soon, I will be moving there not knowing anyone, the place and what the new job will bring. None the less, I am extremely excited to be going and can’t wait for what lies ahead of me! The 6 years I have spent in Salford have been wonderful, indeed, life changing! The friends I’ve made, the work I have done, the places I’ve discovered! I will be sad because these last 6 years have been so character building for me, and everyone and everything which has complimented that will be in my heart forever! But I speak as if I will never see Manchester again! Nonsense! I’ll be back to visit (the weekend after I move actually!), and who knows, after my years’ stint in Glasgow I may once again be without a job and could return to Manchester?! Who knows! It’s this unknown and endless possibilitie which is driving me on right now 
Apart from myself, changes are coming to many around me – my (soon to be former) colleagues at the University who are currently undergoing an organisations restructure; my flatmate who is embarking on a solo journey buying a house (a big step to adulthood!); a close friend starting a new job (he’s very talented!); another friend starting on the path of further education; and lastly, my best girlfriend who is soon to be married! Regardless of size, all of these changes are significant in their own way, and I hope that all who are involved make the most of these changes and embrace them with open arms. For better or worse, in hard times and tough times, each corner turned is a step closer to the next chapter of our lives.
Can’t wait to see you bella!! Keep up the blogging so we know what you are up to in Glasgow! Though I’m sure we will have some major chit chat sessions in a couple of weeks when we finally have more than 24 hours togetherrrr! xoxo
