New years

New years for me has always been special, it's a new beginning. 2014 has been a good year, the year I moved to London. I've met new friends and taken up contact with family I haven't seen for a while. Every minute has been a blessing, and I'm so grateful for everything.

 

But as always, a year doesn't only bring laughter and happiness, we also go through some tough times. I'm always going to be the kind of girl who falls in love to easily, and breaks her heart to people who don't care. Because I feel everything so very deeply, and that can be both a blessing and a curse. I hate being the one who cares to much, I hate being the one who falls in love with the wrong people. But one thing I have realized the past few months is.. that you can't change who you are. But I am going to focus a bit more on my self this year.

 

I need to leave some people behind, people who are in your life for the wrong reasons. The people who don't even try to be your friend, and in the end of the day, you find yourself holding on to someone who just keeps letting you go.

 

So no, I can't change who I am, but I do need to delete some people from my life, and I need to focus on what's best for me, and not for others. So thank 2014, for everything! 

 

 


Friday

Christmas in once again over, and next week I'm back in London. I actually miss London a lot. It's always lovely to spend some time with friends and family, but this town... I just don't feel like home here anymore. Going out last night made me realize that I don'thave fun here anymore, not like before. Oh well, but like I said. I do love seing al my wonderful friends again, just wish I could have them with me to London next week. Well I'm off, already late. Have a lovely weekend my friends.
 
Love, Julia.
 
 
 
 

Merry Christmas

After only a few days in Sweden I already miss England, but it's nice to be with my family and friends. Yesterday we did some Christmas shopping at Erikslund Shopping centre, and while I was there I went by IKEA and met some old workmates. Today it's "Julafton", which is the day the swedes celebrate Christmas. We don't do much today really, just chill really and get ready for tomorrow.

 

Anyway, just wanted to check in and say that everything is ok with me, and I hope you are enjoying the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone, sending my love to all of you.

She's just begging for that back

"Maybe it just got to be too much for her? Maybe she got scared of needing someone too much, because she gives herself so selflessly to the people she cares for, and she's just begging for that back" 
 
 

The Shard

 
 
 
Took these pictures from Kajsas blog as well, the camera on my phone isn't working probably. Really annoying, but luckily Kajsa was okay with me stealing some photos from her. Anyway, The Shard was amazing. Great experience.

Swedish Christmas Party

 
 
A wonderful christmas dinner with the aupair friends! xx 

Update

Hi everyone, so I've been really busy lately. Been working on my personal statement, and just spending time with my friends here in London before everyone goes home for Christmas. We went out Friday night at a night club called Projekt. The club wasn't really great, but we did get free vodka drinks all night. But tbh, that was probably not a good idea haha. But we can all laugh at it now. Don't really like the clubs in town, more of a Shoreditch and Camden girl to be honest.
 
Yesterday we had a Swedish Christmas party, and it was soo nice. Laughed so much and had such a lovely time, and today we ate a fancy dinner at The Shard, and OMG it was amazing. Could seriously see all of London. So beautiful! I'll upload some photos in the week. But i'm off to bed, so tired, slept like 4 hours this weekend. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! xx
 
I really really love this girl, and I am so thankful that I get to experience London with her.
 

Late night uni research

So you all know I've been in wales just recently. Obviously I went to Wales too see my cousin, but I also wanted to see if Wales was somewhere I would like to study. To be honest, I fell in love with Cardiff and Wales. Such a beautiful country and Cardiff is just amazing. So I looked at Cardiff University, but unfortunately they didn't have anything for me. But I did find a course at the same uni my cousin goes to, and that course is in Cardiff, which is kind of perfect!? But I'm not 100% sure yet. So I'll just have to see. There is obsiously other places in wales then just Cardiff, but like I said i'm still doing loads of research. Also working on my personal statement, that's probably all I'm going to do this week.
 
Anyway, hope you all had a good weekend. I'm going to take a break from the hole uni research and try to catch up with the latest vampire diaries, goodnight everyone. xx
 
In two weeks I'll be sitting with my dad, drinking a cup a tea and just talking about life. I really miss my dad right now!

We are just trying to find happiness

Yesterday was good, so nice to see everyone again. Working tonight, but the kids are in bed and I'm just chilling in front of the computer. TRYING to watch The vampire diaries, but it's so slow, so do you guys have any tips on where you can watch tv series online? The webside I used before is now blocked for some reason, so if you know a better one that would be great, thanks!

 

Hope you are enjoying your weekend xx

 
Haha love this one
 

Forgive those who have hurt you, because thats were the healing starts

Hi everyone, hope you had a good day. It's been so cold today, and that's super annoying because I always go to the park with the kids while we wait for the oldest to finish at her homework club. But now we just go to prets and drink smoothies. But they do really need that hour of running around in the park.

 

Oh well. So Siri came over tonight and we drank ovaltine and ate toast with marmite (best dinner ever), and then we just talked and laughed. Like we always do. Now I'm just looking forward to weekend, going out Friday with some friends I haven't seen in while. Also we are going to Koko, my favorite place.

Tori Kelly - In my head

Every little glance my way
Every time you wanted to hang
You seemed so interested
Could you tell me was it real or was it all in my head
Was it real or was it fake?
Was it all a mistake?
Boy, I just gotta know was it all in my head?
Did you ever feel the same?
Was my mind just playing games?
Time for me to move on now it was probably just a silly crush anyway
But I just cant help but think that we, we could've had something
 
Tori Kelly – All In My Head
 
 
Some of my favorite lyrics from Tori Kellys song, All in my head. Really want to see her now when she is on tour with Sam Smith. Well, I'm off to bed. Feels good to be back on track with my blog, and like I said before I'm always here if you have any questions about the Aupair/London life. 

Stay positive

You know when you have so much to think about, like with work or just in general, and you just forget to take care of yourself. Yeah well that's kind of me lately. Haven't been sleeping much, and barely eating.  But I'm only human and I can only take so much. But i'm SO GLAD this month is over, so I can close that chapter and start a new one. Also i'm so looking forward to new years, a new beginning. That's the reason why I haven't really posted anything on my blog lately, and I know it's not just this month. BUT I do really want to continue with my blog, I love it. And like I always say, I'm always here if you need tips about the aupair life, living in London and so on. Just give me a shout if you need help.
 
Work lately has been a lot. Mostly because the my host family had some friends over from LA, so they were out a lot and I took care of 4 kids instead of 3. But it was ok, I got the friday of instead to go to Josh. 
 
Anyway, hope you all had a good weekend, don't worry it's soon friday again haha xx
This girl, omg, she is AMAZING. The support she has given me the past few days, we all know that everyone goes through some tough times in their life. It's normal. And what we need is friends like this girl, because I could honestly say, she saved me so many times. I owe her so much. I can break down, I could probably hit rock bottom but she would still manage to bring me right back up. Miss her so so so much.

Ugly heart

So my trip to Treforest didn't really turn out how I expected it to be, but I had a good time anyway with good friends, and like I said, it's always nice to get away from London a little while. But now it's just so good to be back here, not at work really, but in London.
 
 
 

Roadtrip

So I fell in love with this little town called Winchester.
