Dear 2014,

Thank you. I can't quite grasp the fact that you're actually almost over, but you deserve the biggest thank you out of all my years so far. I have learnt so much, varying from the happiest I've ever been, to the lowest, where I thought I wasn't even going to manage to see 2015. I have made new, very close friends, I loved and lost, I travelled to places I always wanted to go and saw things I'd always wanted to see. I started writing my first book, which admittedly is going to take a lot of editing and time, but it has been a dream of mine since I first learned how to write. I found a new love for beauty and fashion, but also expanded loves for other things, for example acting and films. I am a completely different person to who I was this time last year, and for that I have never felt so strong and so capable. 2014, you have been both kind and cruel to me, and for that I thank you. 

Goodbye,
Shannon

In my personal opinion, Autumn (Fall) is the best month of the year. It is usually not too cold but not too hot, although in England we are prone to the freak October heatwave. I don't celebrate Halloween because it's my dad's birthday, and yet Autumn/Winter is still the better half of the year, and here's why!

(whispers) Christmas


That's right. I'm excited for Christmas already.



I'm whispering, therefore I can't get told off for being too early...


But yeah, these are some of the things I am excited for in the coming months!
