12. Talk about a new friend you made this year

I moved to London in September so I met a whole lot of people. Not sure if any of them are close friends yet, but the ones who are closest are my housemate A. who is a super nice crazy cat lady (which is fitting because we have three cats, and I’m also slowly turning into one), R. and P., two of my classmates from Chile, and S. who I met in the hiking club of my university.

13. How was your birthday this year?

Amazing! At that time I was still living in Romania with my boyfriend, he made a cake out of that Turkish semolina dessert that I love, we took it to our office where we had a short little celebration with all the people in our organisation which was really nice. In the evening we just cooked and watched a movie, as usual. And the next day we went to my favourite bar in town with a big group of all the European volunteers in town.

14. Favourite book you read this year?

I started reading the Outlander series in June, and now I’m on book seven! all of them have like 1200 pages, but I love them so much, i read them really fast

16. Post a picture from the beginning of the year

17. Post a picture from the end of this year

a super cute toy I bought for a friend who is going to have a baby soon

18. a memorable meal this year

I spent two months in Turkey this summer, and one day we came back to our flat after just having hitchhiked over 500km in 40 degree heat, we were really tired so we decided to grab some dürüm around the corner, and it was the most heavenly thing I’ve ever eaten. a dürüm wrap with grilled chicken, french fries, pickles, and an amazing sauce (tomato based, but i really dont know much more). that and cold ayran was the perfect thing at that point.

19. What are you excited about for next year?

replied to your post

“Real talk though: I always feel like I’m not enough. Like I’m not...”

MARIE NO. You are one of the best friends I've ever had. You're always there for me no matter what and that means so much. You're wonderful and I love you. You're better than enough. You're my friend.

well then u don’t get a song, ma’am. 

Kidding :P You actually get two because I can’t pick.

New Romantics by T swizzle (Taylor Swift). To me, the song is about friendship and how you can do anything with your close friends. You get into a lot of good, and a lot of bad, but it doesn’t matter because they’re still with you. It’s always fun, because you’re always growing. 

I can rate your blog, Carly! No problem :D (that is what you’re asking for, right?)

God damn Marie you always manage to blow me away. You are a masterful writer.

10: (truth) What was your favorite band five years ago? (dare) Tag a blog that posts very different content from yours, but that you couldn't imagine not following. brokenpromisesanddbrokenhearts

20: (truth) What does your bedroom look like? (dare) Take one selfie and post it. You only get one shot! (No old selfies or retrying, even if you think you look bad) My bedroom is pretty boring because due to the lease agreement I can't even paint the walls :( but I've got a lot of nerdy posters (and a painting thanks to Mariel :D)

30: (truth) What is the last thing you did that you have to keep secret from someone? Who do you have to keep it secret from? (dare) Tag five blogs with great URLs. Hah I flipped off my roommates back while she was walking away like less than 5 minutes ago. She's a jerk and like so unwilling to compromise I hope she finds great difficulty in her life due to that :/ not a team player at all.
