2015

Liebe Lucy,


2015 has been the most intense, wonderful, incredible year of my life so far.


It is the year that I found friends I honestly believe I will have in my life until I die. Friends I found in various different places and from various different parts of the country. Friends who, to quote Wicked, I believe have changed me for the better. It is not lost on me how incredibly lucky I am to have them, whether it be the group from school who showed me what real friendship is or whether it be the group from University who feel like my family after only 3 short months of knowing them, the friends I have made in 2015 are the most incredible people I have ever known.


In addition to these incredible friends, 2015 is also the year I met the most loving, caring, wonderful person I’ve ever met. It is the year that he and I became a couple. He makes everything make sense and has a unique ability to make me feel like everything is okay. I didn't fully understand what people felt when they described someone as their 'better half' until I met him.He has made me feel more comfortable than I ever have before and he brings out all the best parts of me. He has made me feel loved and cared for and at home in ways I never knew possible and I sincerely hope that 2015 is just the beginning for us.


2015 is also the year I moved away from home to University. The intense anxiety I felt surrounding the move was completely forgotten within minutes of getting there and I now feel just as at home there as I do in my own home. 2015 is the year that showed me that sometimes things terrify you, and sometimes you have to just do them anyway.


2015 has taught me several life lessons that I will always remember, and I know without doubt it is a year I will look back on in years to come as one of the best of my life. Despite some definite down moments, it was more full of happiness than any year I have experienced so far. More importantly, 2015 is a year I will always look back on as being full of love. Be it romantic, platonic or familial love, I have been surrounded by it all in 2015 and I will never take for granted how lucky I am that I am able to say that. To everyone who has contributed to making me feel so much love in 2015, thank you. So very much.


Although it will be hard for 2016 to match up to its predecessor, I certainly begin the year with the most incredible people I could imagine by my side, and I could not be more aware and thankful of that.


Thank you 2015, for everything.



All my love,
Lucy x
