Lourdes 2010
Well where to start…
Lourdes this year was the most amazing experience of my life. It has completely changed who I am/was as a person. I went there with some fantastic people and met many more, some who were just truly inspirational to all who met them. Memories of certain people I cared for this year will stay with me forever. It’s amazing to realise that even though I spent such a small amount of time with somebody they have entirely changed my perspective on life; I am now so much more appreciative of the things I have been blessed with especially my family and friends.
I learnt this year that it does not do to dwell on the past as it is exactly that, it is/has past, there is nothing that can be done about it now, it’s gone, I must live for today, live for the future.
I also learnt an awful lot about myself as a person this week. I found the old me again, the one that has been desperate to get out for the past few years. She is back, and most importantly she is happy! And I now sound really gay talking about myself in the 3rd person in a rather pathetic way, but it’s all so true.
It’s officially my favourite place in the world. The past week has completely changed my approach to life. Going to Lourdes teaches you many things, Most of all to be thankful for everything you have as some people have so much less than you. It shows us how much we all take for granted.
The effect Lourdes has had on me this year is hard to describe, I’ve said a few things but that is only the beginning. I feel so at peace now, my mind is finally a nice place to be.
And I’ve just realise how depressing this whole blog has been… and I don’t care because Its truly how I feel J
Peace out! J
