With hands held high

I'm Caty. Or Cat. Or Caz. But preferably Caty. I live in England. The south of England. But not near a beach - not that far south.

I love languages. I'm learning Arabic at the moment because I want to live in an Arabic speaking country. I have so many other languages I want to learn too, but Arabic is my priority.

My favourite subject is psychology. I started it a couple of months ago and I never thought it was possible to love a subject that much. I look forward to lessons and I even look forward to doing my psychology homework. Sad, i know, but it's the only aspect of school I enjoy and came at a time when I really needed to absolutely love something at school and get stuck in. Otherwise everything felt a bit pointless.

My family are crazy [maybe that's why psychology's interesting!]. Anyway, not just normal crazy. As in doctor's note crazy - signed and dated.

Life's changed a lot recently. For me, anyway. Pretty much my whole life. And I've been the new person everywhere I've been for the last few months. But I knew the change was coming - I'd known for a while.

The important people in my life tend to disappear. And I miss them. But last week someone told me that I've got to trust people and form relationships and be open with people, even if I find it the hardest thing in the world. She told me that I'm worth being friends with and if people don't think that, then they don't deserve me. No one's even told me that before. So this week I've been trying my hardest to make friends, and it really seems to be working. I've had more conversations with people I've not spoken to before this week than in the past month. And that gives me hope that although I might be on a long journey of learning to trust and form relationships, it'll be worth it in the end and I'll come out of it so different to how I started off. And I can't wait to meet that person.

I want to use my tumblr as a sort of diary so I can look back in next year, the year after, 5 years after, 10 years after and see how things have changed.
