Having just turned twenty-seven a couple of days ago, I thought it might be nice to mark the occasion by listing twenty-seven things I’ve done or achieved, so far. The list is (mostly) in chronological order, starting with the earliest things first. One thing I learnt about myself from compiling this list, is that I tend to do the same things multiple times.
- Appeared as a main character in a school play (got an award for it, too)
- Moved out of my parent’s house
- Went to university (hence the above)
- Lived in a different country (again, see above)
- Got a pet (okay, several pets)
- Gave blood
- Got a tattoo (I have three, so far)
- Became a Sunday School teacher (briefly)
- Travelled outside the UK
- Volunteered for charity (1000 voluntary hours and counting)
- Went on holiday on my own (countless times)
- Moved out of my parent’s house and lived in a different country (a second time)
- Published a book

- Saw my favorite band live (at said music festival)

- Moved out of my parent’s house (again!)
- Became a god-mother š
Before I take part in an event – big or small – my nerves are on edge. I feel sick, and flighty, and weepy.
If you find out youāve been doxed (had your private information acquired and shared online), you have my genuine sympathies. Iām not suggesting you follow all of the steps below (beyond numbers six, seven, and nine), this is just how I reactedā¦
Since re-launching this website way back in January, I have written forty-seven blog posts (including this one). That’s way more than I’ve written, across the three separate blogs I used to run, in the last few years combined.
