I sit here and I gaze out of the window, I ponder how much the view has changed since I moved in 12 months ago.
The buildings have not changed, the road outside has not altered it's direction or where it leads, but it looks different.
What has really changed is my outlook and I now see in a different light.
It's a bit cliche and for that I apologise, but it's true.
Today, I have reached a Milestone. WE have reached a Milestone. Me and @nettofabulous have been together 18 months. At 7:38 tonight it will be 18 months to the minute that our eyes first met over a snowy Railway station car park in a small cumbrian market town.
During the last 18 months I have been on an amazing journey and have experienced some outstanding acts of generosity.
There is one thing that has been right by my side throughout this. One thing that has helped me through the deepest and darkest hours, so dark that the shadows are overflowing with painful memories.
'It' has followed me through tough decisions.
'It' has shared my joy and revelled in my happiness.
'It' has made me cry
'It' has made being alone enjoyable
'It' has filled tea breaks
'It' has made spray the contents of my glass from my mouth in laughter.
'It' has often been the only insight to my untidy mind.
'It' is more commonly known as Twitter.
I have met some amazing people, I have followed a few individuals through some of the toughest times of their lives, I have lay awake at night thinking about the people I follow and praying to give them strength. I have checked time lines in anticipation and offered my shoulder in support. I have often been moved by peoples words and at times disgusted.I have felt the buzz of excitement as I share in a followers happy occasion.
Twitter has at times acted like the over flow pipe from my brain, when it gets too crowded up there the overflow pipe dribbles out and pours into other people's timeline.
I wouldn't change Twitter for the world. Without being melodramatic, I'm really not sure where I would be without twitter. I'm pretty positive I wouldn't have personally achieved what I have without its constant crutch of support.
So, Thank you Twitter.
Most importantly Thank you to all the individuals who form twitter, to all you brave enough to let us in to your mind and life.
I can sit here typing this, sipping coffee because you helped me to believe in myself.
Thank you.
