A year ago...

...I was in love with an illusion.
...I believed in unconditional love.
...I worked till at least 11 every night.
...I ate chinese food almost every day - the spicier the better.
...I was so caught up with living in the past that I didnt realize what was happening right in front of me.
...he fell out of love and I didnt even realize it.
...I fell out of love and I didnt even realize it.
...my work came first.
...my uncle was fighting a losing battle for his life.
...I cried at the drop of a hat.
...I had escape routes and no responsibilities.
...I started caring about the way I looked and dressed.
...I was voted 'Best Newcomer' after 6 months of work.
...cold water baths were out of the question.
...getting a dog was a distant possibility.
...I curled my hair because for some reason I thought looking different might stop the pain.
...I used to have a drink at least 4 times a week.
...I was broke at the end of the month.
...I was fighting with my neighbour about where to park my car.
...I was trying to figure out whether I was brave enough to leave something that had been my life for 3 years and move back to a place where I no longer knew anyone and start fresh.
...I realised that I wasnt.
...I decided to move anyway.
...my dinner sometimes used to be a packet of biscuits.
...I barely saw my room.
...my reflection in the mirror looked completely different.
...I thought being stuck in a dead-end relationship was OK.
...I spent all my time with family when I came home on holidays.
...the little things used to matter.
...my life used to revolve around someone else.
...seems so far away.
