In less than 2 months I will have to leave the place I've called home for the last two years.
It is a place that became my sanctuary after a sad break up with a man I had spent 6 years of my life with. 3 months after I had moved in to my beautiful Georgian townhouse flat, I got a teeny tiny little black and white kitten who would emit high pitched miaows and crawl on to my stomach to have a little sleep.
The kitten is now a cat who no longer crawls onto my stomach for a sleep, and I am no longer the person I was 2 years ago.
When I look at how my life has changed in that relatively short space of time, I wonder who I will be in another 2 years time...
New and old friends have come into my life, and new and old friends have left it. My oldest and best friend of 20 years is no longer a part of my life, nor I hers. 2 years ago, we had conversations about having children at the same time so they too could grow up together being best friends. These days, I don't miss her any longer, but I do wish her well.
I met someone over a year ago, who I didn't realise at the time would become a very good friend of mine today. She is an incredibly strong, funny and kind-hearted soul who will become a mother very soon.
As I lay in my big bed typing these words, I realise that this flat has become somewhat of a friend. It has always been here for me, and never judged. It has provided me with warmth and comfort and has been somewhere I have made many treasured memories.
I am sure that my next home will become that in time, but until then...
Goodbye Old Friend... I hope you find someone who will love you just as much.
