An update that's long overdue

2018... everyone had something to say about it. For me? It wasn't so much as anything eventful or dramatic but a hurdle that had to be jumped over. I finished my Marketing diploma, quit retail forever and got my dream, full-time job being the marketing co-ordinator for one of the most amazing interior design shops in Melbourne, Safari Living. It's the end of an era for me. I feel like a lot of things will be very different next year, the kind of different where you transform entirely. You just know inside of you things will be different, it's a very hard thing to describe. I've been desperate for change for a while and I think it all centered around work and finding meaningful work that mattered to me. I think a lot of it has to do with luck because for a long time, I was doing the right thing and getting absolutely nothing. Anybody would have gone crazy in my spot as well. I'm truly thankful to be out of the woods in that respect.

I kept P.F.F because I actually like this blog. I like the taste of the blog.. my own, haha. I never deleted it or even thought remotely about deleting it because I knew eventually, I'd take it back up again. I feel more confident about doing it next year because of having two key interior design names under my belt. Safari and Est, who I still write for and have no plans of leaving. I made some really ambitious goals for P.F.F at the start of the year, 3 posts a week is great but became impossible to do when studying full time and since I'm going to be working full time as of next year, I'm going to limit the blog to one post per week. It'll be the same things as it used to be. Pages of beautiful rooms, items and the occasional random post about what's happening in my own life ( shopping hauls ) Anyway, keep checking back once a week to see what's happening here. Hope you all have the most amazing and wonderful 2019

This year I learnt that ... Things indeed can change
I will never forget ... how there's never regression in life, just when you think things couldn't get more intense/weird, it does
If I could go back I would ... Work harder on some of my university assignments, try to relax a bit more.. possibly those two are related
Next year I hope to ... Achieve and succeed in my new job, go to Korea, live alone again, make more friends and be more assertive
I couldn't of done it this year without ... The very few friends I have
All in all, it was ... kind of average LOL!
