allsorts

Oh wow. I love sweets in general but I my favorite would have to be licorice. And I must say that I have a weakness for anything with toffee or caramel.

I LOVE Allsorts Hodge Podge licorice, and thanks to this question I'm going on ebay to buy some from the UK :)
It's an odd treat and I've had it only in specialty stores but it's a wonderfully magical treat that I can't get enough of.

I love chocolate(of course), but toffee is something that I make just to indulge my sweet tooth, and caramel is heaven on earth.

This is something that I think of often even though I know I shouldn't. I'm ton between 2 big occurrences in my life. One is the days before my grandmother died, and the other is the 3 year hiatus I took from school.

My grandmother died the week before I turned 13. In fact, that anniversary is coming quickly. The day that she died she called my house to ask for my uncle who lived next door. Before I called him she asked my "Why don't you come and visit me anymore", and I replied that I would see her soon. It's been 12 years since then and even though I barely remember the rest of the conversation, I know that for as long as I live I will remember her asking me that. I grew up very close to her, but as I got older I widened the gap between us because I wanted to spend more time fitting in with the rest of my family. I know now that she saw that I was different and she wanted me to see that too. If I had the power to go back in time I would spend every moment I could have with her. Just to talk to her and be around her. I thought that as time passed by it would get easier. But to be honest the pain is still there and the emptiness is still there. I will always miss Mama, and if I could I would go back to spend the time with her that I regret never giving her.

I took a 3 year hiatus from school to travel and just be me. I didn't want to be reminded that my family chose to build their dream house instead of helping me through school, and the 2nd year I needed to get away from the memories of a very emotional breakup. I spend lots of money and time traveling and working, and at the end of the day I'm back home studying to become a teacher, the one thing I swore I would never do. I'm the oldest in many of my classes and far behind. By the time I graduate I'll be old enough to be settled in a career with a family. I wanted to have accomplished more than what I have now, and even though I'm working toward my goals it's upsetting to see those who are 3-5 years younger than me working on a Bachelors degree with an Associates behind them. If I could go back I would have stayed at home and started my education degree. I would have been finished by now and might have even been working.

But thinking about what you would have changed in the past will not benefit your future. I miss my grandmother and I'm behind in school. But I can spend time now with the people that I love, and make sure I don't regret not letting them know how much I loved them. I can work hard now in this field that I love, and in the time I've been away I've found a love for french that I can nurture and grow into something wonderful.

I'm looking forward ♥

It's crazy really. There is a superstition in my country that putting your handbag on the floor would make you broke. I always try not to do that :D
