It sounds so cliche but it truly does only take the blink of an eye for your entire life to change - what’s always been so familiar is no longer and you can feel as though the rug has been pulled from under you.

I have learnt that you must live in the present and now. Never harbour regret about the past or missed opportunity, this was just a time when you were not ready to make change and put timeframes for the future.
