Goodbye Cardiff!

After 6 years of calling Cardiff my home, I have officially moved away. I had always planned to move back London way at the end of my masters, and of course the fact I’m moving to Hawaii for 3 months first AND to be with my girl is undoubtedly the best thing ever (understatement!) However saying goodbye to a place I’d been since I arrived as a fresher in 2005 and left as a post-grad in 2011 was still rather hard.

Change is inevitable in life and thus far the biggest change had been moving to Cardiff at the age of 18, and now it is embarking on a new adventure at the age of 23. I cannot believe I’ve actually been in Cardiff so long, I’ve grown and changed so much and created some fond memories along the way. Friends have come and gone, and the best have stayed. I’m sad to say farewell but I know I will see them again soon, true friends never leave.

I’m devastated that I had to leave my Benny boy behind (his owner has moved away but as Benny has lived in the flats for 9 years he doesn’t want to move him). The worst thing is he doesn’t understand, I can’t explain to him to no longer wait at the window for me when I get in from work, or that my bed/sofa will no longer be his place to sleep. I just home the person who occupys my flat is a cat person! Benny may end up living with me in the future though once I’ve returned so I guess just wait and see!
