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
