This was the beginning

I remember the moment I decided I was going to go overseas.
I had looked into it a few times before but had always decided against it, for no good reasons as well.
But then I found myself looking again, and this time my life was feeling rather low, I didn't feel like I had much at all. I was unhappy, struggling through a breakup, and often breaking down.
It was at the end of August, 2013. I made an enquiry to an agency and a week later they got in touch with me. It felt spontaneous at the time, I said I didn't want to leave until 2014 and they said that was fine, that I could take my time to get everything prepared. And that was it.
From then, I had something to look forward to.

Then. October 18, 2013 I met my best friend. Jess. We bonded over chocolate, it was a beautiful beginning to our friendship. Actually, we just got talking, got along so well, we made plans for future weekends and then went along like we had known each other for years.
I think we both needed each other. We came to have a sort of dependence on each other being there.
We did quite a bit together. I would definitely say I have a lot of fun memories with her, from just going out for a drink to a roller disco, road trips, beach days, camping, her dropping by for pancakes...

{I think to invest your time into having someone's company, someone who enjoys what you enjoy, and is willing to invest their time in you, wether they're just a friend or more, will always be worth it.
The memories I have with Jess, are definitely ones that I visit often.
Time is the best gift you will ever have to give! - Remember that}


She sparked up my life like no one else could.
