Crystallising one of the most beautiful days of my life 

Today was so beautiful it almost breaks my heart. I like to keep this blog abstract and I should. I don’t want to over share about my day to day. Yes I share a lot of thoughts and emotions but most people don’t know what I am doing most of the time and that is a very good thing. And that is good for safety

But I can’t resist sharing. Today was a beautiful day

I went to Lincoln with some of my family. We went and visited the cathedral. I am in awe of its beauty. It was all so beautifully lit up on the outside as well. There were so many independent shops near the cathedral

It was stunning

We went to a favourite pizza place and I was starving cos it was quite late so that worked out well. Some of them went for a walk but I was too cold so I went into Waterstones and spent a beautiful 45 minutes choosing a book. 📕 in the end I got the amazing one on study skills by Tony Buzan - his mind maps for kids changed my life when I was a child and it was so great to revisit it now

I got a free chai latte with a voucher and then it was time to ascend the steep hill and I charged on ahead (whoops) showing my amazing strength gained from dancing (whoops). We looked at the castle a bit and called in at a shop and then we came home and I did my cooking that I talked about two blog posts back. I watched a princess Diana documentary after most people left and now I feel incredibly sad. Her story was so sad and it makes me so sad. How could a young and innocent and vulnerable teenager have been sucked into all of this mess

Anyway todays outing was perfect

It was a beautiful memory that I will treasure forever thanks

And Lincoln is just beautiful especially at Christmas

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? ...
