I used to blog because I felt like I had something to give to the world. I shared my life and my knowledge and whilst it was fun, I felt like it was all a bit hollow. It wasn't 100% me. So, in this new chapter of my life, I will be consciously trying to show all the different sides that make up Neriah.
In this post, I'll be recapping a few of the happenings in my life. Since the last time you heard from me, I have:
● Been on my first holiday (to Barcelona!)
● Started (and finished) my 2nd year at uni
● Gotten my driver's license
● Celebrated my 2nd decade on this planet
... amongst other things.
Though I've posted since starting university, I don't think I've actually talked about it or even mentioned it at all. I am currently enrolled at university studying Computer Science. I'll definitely talk more about it at length in another post, but I thought I'd share a little about my progress. My course specifically has a Year in Industry which I decided to do, so I'm currently on my placement (3rd) year. I'll also talk about this more in another post. It's been fun and an eye-opener, having a sneak peek into the world after graduation. I've been a student my whole life, so it's been interesting to see how other people live.
I also went to the gym consistently for a good few months at the end of 2nd year, but when I returned home, I lost my routine. I gained a little bit of weight, but it wasn't too bad as I was always out in summer, doing various activities. But as I started my placement and its gotten colder, I've found that I spend way more time at home. I used to hit 10k steps a day easily, but these days, I can barely manage 5k. So I've recently started up at the gym again and honestly, it's hard, but I also remember why I loved it so much. I'll admit I'm one of the weird ones that revel in gym pain. I personally feel like it's my body's measurement of progress. If it isn't hurting, I didn't do enough. Currently, I aim to go four times a week, but life has an annoying habit of getting in the way. I'll keep you posted on my journey!
Finally, I'm also working on my relationship with God. I'm a Christian and I am painfully aware of the lack of effort I've been putting into God in recent years. I tend to only call on Him when I need Him instead of cultivating a proper relationship and spending time with Him. So, I've started reading the Bible (properly) and next month, when I have a rhythm, I'll start a Bible plan. This is the first time for as long as I can remember where all aspects of my life are advancing smoothly and I truly believe it is all down to God. 2nd year was a very difficult period of time for me and without God, I honestly don't know how I would've gotten through it with my faith in the Lord. I'm ready to humble myself and bask in His light again!
Wow, I didn't realise I'd done quite so much this year and this is only what I thought of on the spot. I have grown as a person in the past year and I'm insanely proud of the way I've learnt and moved forward from different challenges that were presented to me. I am nowhere near perfect, but I'll also strive to be so and I can't wait to update you in the upcoming months on the voyage that is my life!
