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,

30 things I want to do before I'm 30

Hi lovelies! I'm turning 18 soon and thought it would be a good idea to write this post and then come back to it when I turn 30 and see if I could tick all of the thing off of the list! Having a check list for me means that I'm more obligated to go ahead with my ideas rather than pushing them to the back of my mind and backing it of them. SO here we go! 30: Have a spontaneous holiday. Go to the airport and just get a plane. I think this would be so much fun! 29: Fall in love. I know very cheesy but if I haven't fallen in love by the time I'm 30 I may as well be Bridget Jones; become a spinster and be eaten by wild Alsatians. If you've seen the film you'd get that reference! 28: Be in a job I love! Listen up future me if you aren't in a job you love leave it now and get one you do! There's no point in working somewhere that doesn't motivate you to get up every morning. 27: Had the courage to start up Youtube again. I posted some videos last year...

Let's talk about sex!

Hello lovelies! I would like to start by saying thank you for the great response I've received about last weeks post! So many people have contacted me through social media and people in my year at school have said that it was helpful and relatable so thank you! Now as you can probably tell from the title this weeks post is going to be surrounding the subject of sex. Yep, sex. That dreaded word. For some people the topic is easily approachable and they have no problem with communicating their feelings about it. However some find it a taboo subject and it's difficult to convey what they want to say without being judged. This is what I want to talk about this week; to begin a discussion about sex and the pressures that it brings to young people. For me personally it's not the people I interact with sexually that pressure me, I feel pressure from social expectation. I got to the age of around 14/15 and people in my year at school started to experience it and I started to qu...
