Would you believe it? I’m moving out of my lovely spacious house in Birmingham back in with my Mum because I’ve run out of money to stay here. Sad times. After three years studying Sound Engineering in the land of Brum, it’s finally finished.
Packing up the last few things as I’m writing this and trying to come to terms with what’s happening right now. I’ve had to say goodbye to a wonderful life with lots of truly wonderful friends to a life with slightly less friends and live in a field in Cheshire, well a town but compared to Birmingham it’s a field.
Today I have cried twice so far and I’ve only been up for an hour and a half. Over the last two weeks I must have cried every day for one thing or another, mainly saying goodbye to close friends.
The hardest part is when people are saying “don’t worry we still have facebook” what kind of bullshit way of cheering me up is that eh? Another is you’ll have to come back soon and visit, why can’t they get on the train to see me? Day out from the smog of Brum – because yes nothing compares to Birmingham and people don’t want to leave because it’s addictive and yes this is the reason I’ve been so upset about leaving.
I would like to say thank you and that your a true inspiration to my lecturers. I love you all so much to all the friends I’ve made. To all the people I’ve met through networking like Music/Creative Networks, please all keep in touch. To everyone thanks for making my three years in Birmingham so amazing.
Tonight I am having a “Homecoming Queen Party” with my small amount of friends back home and to see Alice as it was her 18th this week and I wasn’t able to get back to celebrate it with her. It will involve a few drinks in Knutsford while I try to forget/hide how upset I am about leaving Birmingham. So here’s to a new start, a new life and hopefully a new job.

Hey Tilly,
Keep your pecker up. I have serious butterflies in my tummy every time I have to do a life change (and I’ve done a few), it’s best to make oneself look on the bright side and keep optimistic and inventive.
We’ll keep in touch.
