The Best Things I Have Done In My Life

For today’s blog post I would sit down and share with you guys the best things that I have done in my life. I thought that this would be something lovely and positive to share with you guys. I have never really been this open here on my blog before.

I do share many of my aspects with you guys. But there are some things that I do keep close to my chest. In an attempt to share a little more, I would put pen to paper and share. So, without further ado, here are some of the best things that I have ever done in my life:

 

Married my best friend.

To this day, I have mixed feelings about marriage in general. I do think that it is quite an old fashioned thing. But marrying my husband is by far the best thing that I have ever done. Just having that connection and attachment to him is amazing. I adore that we have something deeper than just a relationship. I know that these days marriage does not define us. People do not need it to solidify their relationship. However, I love how this feels and what it has turned our relationship into.

 

Travelled solo.

After I got out of an abusive relationship in my late teenage years, I took off on a couple of years solo travelling and I will always appreciate that time that I spent on my own. It made me grow and adapt as a person. I didn’t rely on other people, I had to get comfortable in my own company, it pushed my way beyond my comfort area and I was so incredibly happy with my journey. Not going to lie, it did set my bank balance, but the trip itself nourished me in ways that I did not think were possible!

 

Bought my house and car.

This is the only superficial thing that I am going to mention in this blog post, but buying my house and car were such huge things for me. I grew up in a single-parent household with at times, no money. I have grown up to educate myself on looking after my money and ensuring that I, or my family will never be without. It has not come without hell of a lot of hard work, but being able to buy a house with a 50% cash and then buy my dream car outright were such accomplishments for me and I am incredibly proud.

 

Cut people out of my life.

The OCD and anxiety within me means that I am people pleaser through and through. Various personality tests at work showed that I certainly care a little too much about what other people think about me. This is something that I have been working on and I am so proud of myself for doing it. I now have a tighter circle than ever before, but I am so happy with the support network that I have around me and I only wish that I committed and did this so much sooner.

 

Began caring for my nan.

Following my grandad’s death, a couple of years ago, my nan began the hardest time of her life. Not only in losing her life partner, but she was also diagnosed with two different forms of cancer. I was with her every single step of the way through her recovery. It was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life, but by far the most rewarding. I think that this has really helped to mould me into a much better person and I will always be grateful for the extra time that I have been able to spend with her one on one.

 

Embraced my fertility.

At this point in my life and after much testing over the past couple of years, I do not think that I am able to have children. All of my testing has been inconclusive, but not positive. It is something that in the early days I kept to myself and I was really upset by it, but I have found that speaking about it has really helped me out. It has stopped questions from other people and really helped me come to grips with it. It feels like a weight has been lifted and I am embracing it.
