Live Laugh Love




                                      
 


HHello everyone
I’m feeling in a good place in my life at the moment so wanted to do a positive post.
All over social media sites, quotes and pictures on life are shared, retweeted and posted however, how many of you actually live up to those and how many of those are reposting because that is how you would like to live?
I like to give advice to people and help as much as I can and whenever someone comes to me feeling unhappy about life etc, I like to share my favourite quote of all time and that is “the pen that writes your life story must be held in your own hand”. 
I have not always felt this way, when I was at school trivial things felt like the end of the world, revision, exams, boys, did I have the coolest trainers for PE, why was my best friend not talking to me, what will I do when I leave school. 
When I left school I think I just looked back and thought, when will I ever use algebra again, ergh why did I even fancy that boy, I couldn’t care a less if you don’t like my shoes, I do.  You have your whole life in front of you and that is such an exciting prospect don’t you think?  There are so many things to do and see.
Now two things that people either love or hate about me is that I couldn’t care a less what people think about me and I do exactly what I want to do when I want to do it.  Some people find this selfish however I see this as “writing my own life story…” as the quote suggests.  The people that do think this way, I would like to ask, why?  Why do you care and why don’t you do what you want to do?  You only get one life so live it the way you want to do.
Last year has to have been the worst year of my whole life but in 2013 when the ball dropped I promised myself I was going to have fun and be more spontaneous. 
Here is a small segment of the things I have been up to this year so far…
Trecked through London with no sleep for 36 hours, camped in the rain, went on a treasure hunt, played on the slide and scraped my legs, got lost in the woods, camped in the rain...AGAIN, rolly polly races on the beach,  lay in a field and watched the stars, danced like no one was watching, Jumped over the waves, went to new York city, seen old lady lib, went to the top of the rock, tried broccoli, completed the Great North Run, built sandcastles, got my first tattoo and the year is still not over!!
Now I am not an expert but in my experience, things do get better so always try to think positive.  Having someone to talk to is a big help too.  Don’t keep everything bottled up. 
I am not trying to come across as a know all I may not even feel this way myself next week but I can always look back on this blog and hopefully it will make me feel all ok again J
In the next couple of days I will be posting about my first ever holiday in New York City so be sure to check it out. 
Peace out

“when I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.  When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I wrote down ‘happy’.  They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them that they didn’t understand life”  JOHN LENNON
