Boys and relationships

When I was a little girl I watched all the Disney movies. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin and well you get the picture. The love stories that feature in these 'only happen in fairy tales' but you never really find that out until you experience relationships yourself. It never goes as straight forward as what we see in the fairy tales mentioned. With them they see their prince at a ball, dance with them once and then they get married. No in this day and age there's so many 'rules'. You can't get straight into a relationship, there's just this weird texting malarkey that goes on for months and then you get to a point where either you're really bored of the person and want to move on or you're really confused as to where you stand with them.
I always wanted to be Ariel and have my Eric but that's just not how it goes. In real life, for me anyways, love is a bit of a disaster. I either 1) embarrass myself (which is easily done) 2) fall for absolute jerks and 3) in my case not be good enough for the 'populars'. The added pressure on teenagers to look perfect all the time builds on the pressure of relationships as well because you start to look at the girls around you as competition and start to compare yourselves to them. Please don't ever do this! I started to and it never works out well; you are you and you can't be anyone else. The one thing we are all good at is being ourselves so embrace it!

I don't mind being single and to be honest I have less problems when I'm single but the pressure on us to have that experience with boys is building. Every time I see some of my friends they ask if I'm speaking to anyone new and if I am they need to know all of the details. After while of saying 'no, I'm still not speaking to anyone' it gets kind of embarrassing especially when a lot of people around you have relationships. I'm starting to feel like I'm being left behind.

Why can't I be in a fairy tale? Marry my Prince charming and live happily ever after?

What do you guys think?
Am I alone in thinking these things?

Thanks for reading that ramble, just something that was on my mind
Love,
LMR xx

Blue Story - why the film shouldn't be banned

Blue Story was released on Friday, a movie about teenagers growing up in London and how they are sucked into gang culture. The film, which has been likened to the hit show Top Boy, has now been banned from all Vue cinema's in light of an incident at one of their venues in Birmingham - a decision that I think is ridiculous. Photo from Rapman's Instagram. While the safety of cinema goers is of course integral, the incident in question has not been directly linked to the film. In addition, many of the people involved are not even old enough to watch the rated 15 movie . Police have not mentioned the movie in any of their inquiries and have not recommended a ban - something the media has not shone as much of a light on. The reason this has got under my skin is that after I watched the movie on Sunday the message I took away from it is that the systematic culture of gangs is heartbreaking and unnecessary. At the heart of this film its creator Rapman is trying to say that, whil

Something a bit personal

Hello lovelies! Today I want to speak about something a bit personal to do with my family so if you aren't interested in that kind of stuff I'll give you warning now to leave! About 2 years ago I lost someone in my life who I looked up to and I was so close to. My brother walked out of my life to start a new one with his girlfriend and ever since I've been kind of lost. I didn't realise how much it had affected me until recently which is why I'm posting this. Mine and my brothers relationship was a close one; I'd tell him everything and visa versa. We of course had the odd spat but that's the same with every relationship, isn't it? I never really knew how much I needed him until he was gone, isn't that always the case? He just left and dropped me like he didn't care and I believe that he doesn't care about me or my family. He hasn't spoken to us in 2 and a bit years and to be quite honest I don't think he ever will. Now whenever som

Christmas is here!

Hi all! Christmas is upon us and I absolutely love this time of year! Everyone is happy and the Christmas spirit allows everyone to be kind towards each other. Working in retail means that I have to work on Christmas Eve but it's one of my highlights. It gets me in the Christmas mood and I also get first look at the Boxing Day bargains which is great as I work in Superdrug! The look I usually go for around this season is wearing more purple and navy colours which this year has been emphasised as I've dyed my hair purple. I needed a change; I had my hair ombre for the best part of a year and I needed something to make me stand out and to boost my confidence again. I've been feeling really self conscious lately and this was exactly what I needed to get myself back to myself again! The reception for it has been positive and I have been more confident so it worked (yay!). Here's what it looks like, let me know what you think! I hope you all have a wonderful Christma
