How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: About a year ago I decided I needed to make new friends and get my social life going again as I'd lost touch with a lot of old friends and wasn't going out as much as I'd have liked. I joined a variety of different clubs and societies, took up new hobbies and nightclasses and tried new activites.

My life is definitely changing and so is my ideas about how I want it to change!! I still haven’t achieved some of the things on my list but as i become a happier and more confident person ticking boxes on a list becomes less important than generally living a fulfilled and happy life.

I really feel like this has been a year of self-reinvention for me. Ok, so there are some things on my list that i still haven’t done, like learn to drive or stop biting my nails; but it’s less about ticking boxes on a list and more about becoming a different, more well rounded person.

I have very good friends and am loving my new found hobby of jive and swing dancing! But most importantly I feel more like myself, more like the person that I should be. I am becoming the real me…..
