24 Days.

My decision to move to the Netherlands has to be the scariest thing I have ever done. Never in a million years did I think I would be packing up the last 24 years of my life and leaving the UK. A fresh start for me, and a huge change for myself and my boyfriend. I bet he will regret it after being with me a few weeks invading his space! Sorry in advance, Danny. *smirk*

The choice to move has been quite a stressful one, which I expected anyway. Trying to get all the correct paperwork together, resigning from work, sorting out bills and accounts before I leave. Not to mention picking what I am packing and leaving here. The stress doesn't outweigh the excitement though! So, it doesn't even last long enough to bother me. 

If you had asked me a year ago if I would leave the UK, my honest answer would have been hell no. It would have been far too scary, I had never been on a plane alone or had the confidence to consider that. So much has changed about me, and when I look at myself/what I am doing, I can't help but feel proud of myself. 

Lots of people ask me if I am scared, if I will miss my family and can't believe I am actually doing it. They say they would be too scared to do it alone, but I am not alone and of course I will miss my family a lot. I guess I just decided it is time to start living and making the most of life, since I am never going to be young again. This is my only chance to pursue what I want (see how I avoided YOLO there? You're welcome). 

All in all this year has been absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to see what else is in store! I'll keep you posted.
