Signposts marking the passage of time. Anniversaries, birthdays, friends and relatives celebrating, children growing older.

I feel happier, more content, more settled and just basically pleased with life in general than ever a time I can recall in the past.

I don't love my job, I don't live in the same town as my boyfriend, I don't even have a house.

There were things I thought I'd need to feel the way I do now, but I'm pleased to be wrong.


And look, now the sun is coming out.
