The Aftermath

The initial cocktail of emotion you feel after being broken up with is, to put it nicely – f*cking horrendous. However, I can now confirm, it gets so much better, one hundred percent. Honestly. 

I did follow my own advice (for once) and it seems to have worked. Hold on, don’t get me wrong, I have a wobble now and then. But I think that’s to be expected, and it really highlights how in love I was, which I take solace in. Being in love is potentially the best feeling in the whole world and I loved him so truly and so deeply. I think it’s a rare thing to feel like that, and I did. His loss, his mistake. He’s never going to find anyone else who loves him as much as I did. That my friends, is enough revenge.  

I have the BEST friends in the universe, I’ve received countless presents, chocolates, cards, free drinks on a night-out and overall support. My family have also been amazing, as usual. Surround yourself with people who love you and who care about you, that makes the grieving process so much easier. Pamper yourself, retail therapy is great too. Oh, and go on a massive night-out, alcohol and friends is a perfect combination to ease the pain. Look at the positives in your life, heartbreak is temporary, all these other good things you have are to stay. I know it’s much easier said than done, but you’re going to be okay. Better than okay, I promise. 

Music is also key, my best friend and I have been singing this at the top of our lungs… (oh, and Single Ladies!) Who needs a man when you have best friends?!

I’ve also been nominated for The Leibster Award, I know how exciting!! I can’t believe people actually read my rants and reviews. Thank you so much, Taken by the Laples for nominating me, I’m like a child on Christmas morning. I’m going to nominate some blogs myself, and answer my questions on my next post, stay tuned! 

Take care,

John Mayer, 2013 Tour

I apologise for being a really bad blogger recently. Second year is torture already, I’m currently drowning under a pile of assignments, presentations and readings. But come next week it should settle down a little, fingers crossed.

It’s my birthday on Monday, yippee! I don’t usually get that excited for my birthdays, being a twin kind of relaxes the whole celebration I think. It’s just a day my brother and I get presents and spend time with our family, then go for a yummy meal. So, because it’s nearly my birthday one of my best friends got me an unbelievable present… Tickets to see John Mayer last weekend!! We absolutely love him, so what could be better then going to see him live at the 02 on his Paradise Valley Tour? Nothing.

He was everything I expected and more. Yes, his voice sounds EXACTLY as it does on all his albums, flawless. Yes, he is just as gorgeous in the flesh and yes, he is an exceptionally talented man. I love live events, especially music. I think it’s really difficult to not enjoy a live music concert, even if you don’t like the genre or know the songs. The whole atmosphere is electrifying, it makes you feel like you’re a part of something special. Well, I think it does anyway!

The set was awesome. It almost had a 3D affect of the wilderness and then background, the sky, changed depending on the song, with stars, the moon, sunlight etc. He didn’t talk to us that much throughout the show, just every now and then to tell us occasionally about the song. He said that we were there to listen to him play and if we wanted to know his thoughts or views on things then we could find them on the internet, although he’s not sure how true all of them are. He came across as very humble and passionate. If you’ve not been lucky enough to go to his tour then YouTube them, you’ll be amazed! (One of them he played the guitar backwards, yes backwards! The guitar solos are breathtaking.)

I know the photographs don’t look too good, they certainly don’t do the show justice! I can’t recommend going to see him live enough. You won’t regret it! I promise.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Take care,
