10 months into being back and I feel like I've been mostly successful.

 Girl-wise, poetry-wise, politics-wise, friends-wise, interview-wise, jobs-wise, adventures-wise, self potential wise  things have been better than ever.


•
 Met lots of girls. Had 3 serious things but no relationships yet. Learnt from them. On the good side: I mostly do things right. Lessons: need to have fair deal of politics in common, needs to live locally, can't be travelling, needs to like similar music for hanging out purposes, doesn't necessarily have to be activist.

•
 Had 3 jobs and about 5 interviews-possibly more than ever before.

•
 Made friends. Went from knowing few people to being able to recognise or have a connection to someone almost anywhere.

•
 Became part of the activist community and the literary community. Comradeship is one of the highest forms of relationship you can have.

•
 Enjoyed protesting.

•
 Seen that I can talk to almost anyone if I want to strongly enough

•
 realised I have skills for promotion organising 'networking' bringing people together

•
 Got lots of praise for my poetry from friends and strangers( "Natural talent, "way with words", "effortless talent"  etc )and my activism

•
 Had adventures- drinking out of pasta tub, tea out of a jam jar, watching Star Trek, camping, hanging out with Students at Uni, going to Glasgow, protesting, Open Mics, performing poetry in a pub, performing poetry in an alley, music events,talks, Conversations with random folk, people singing on the night bus,  Hanging out with Lauryna(and Jamie), Hanging out with K, Hanging out with Ari, Hanging out with Grace- chanting as we walked along the street , Times with SB and his girlfriend, Times with random folk at the pub, Times with Brooke and D, Times with S, Times with J,

•
 Realizing how much untapped potential (as Grace said ) I have -- She has no idea how positive that one little phrase has been for me.

•
 Realizing how much substance there is to me because of my many interests and broad general knowledge.

•
 Been told how intelligent I am all this year by countless people

•
 Been told I'm handsome, attractive, kind, conscientious, non patriarchical, Rad ,cool,  philosophical, deep ,intense, ethical etc.

•
 Fighting my insecurities and starting to slowly win.

•
 Without much effort but being positive ,friendly and open to change/adventure, most things I've wanted have come to me.
