Yesterday was just so awful! Not only did I get caught lying to my mum, which Aaron thought was bloody hilarious as he sat there while she told me off as if I was some naughty five-year-old. He then proceeded to go on and on all day about Shaun, "who does that? Goes back with a guy and passes out, then vomits all over the place." Oh, yeah, he had a really good laugh about that.

If that wasn't bad enough when I got home and had another shower, I spotted the most disgusting love bite on my neck — eww, it was massive and vile! Maybe I was having some sort of epiphany right there in the bathroom, I knew something had to change - I couldn't face the thought of bumping into Ben; I'd heard the rumours of a new girlfriend. And despite the fact nothing had happened with Shaun, I might not be so lucky next time, I don't want to be that girl who goes out to the only nightclub town has to offer and hook-up with random guys.

No, today was going to be the day. It was the beginning of the rest of my life, that what people say, isn't it?

I've decided I'm going to leave town for a bit — it was that song on the radio in my mum's bedroom that helped convince me it was the right thing to do, it was like it was my destiny or something. I'm just gonna leave work, obviously, I'll hand in my notice, I'll write Aaron a letter when I'm on my lunch break and then tonight I'm going to book a flight. I'm going to India, on a journey of self-discovery, I was going to find myself again, and then everything would be okay, I mean Gloria Gaynor told me that, I Will Survive!
