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

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...

The Game of Thrones characters whose stories ended well

SPOILERS AHEAD I have been debating the ending of Game of Thrones with my friends all morning. Do we all love that Bran is King? Nope. Should Jon be banished beyond the wall? Maybe not. Should the writers have given in to the Jaime and Brienne stans just to break Ser Brienne's heart? Definitely not. But there are some characters in the last season that met a satisfying end. Hint Cersei is not one of them. (I mean rocks? Come on!) Before I start going through the characters who I believe had good endings just know these are only my opinions. Please don't come at me with pitch forks if you disagree - let's discuss and be friendly. Now onto the good stuff. Theon Greyjoy. Photo credit: Alfie Allen I will never forgive Bran for not preventing the death of Theon. Let's be honest here, if he travelled all the way from Winterfell because he knew he would be King he could've told Theon to move aside for a few seconds before Arya kills the Night King. You can te...

James Haskell's heartbreak at retirement due to injury

James Haskell has been a professional rugby player for 17 years. He has won Premiership and European championship titles with Wasps and many other titles while playing in France, New Zealand and Japan. He has had a glittering international career with England as well, winning the Six Nations, a whitewash test series in Australia and earning 77 caps for his national side. He has also toured with the British and Irish Lions. Now at the age of 34 Haskell is retiring.* "It's really daunting, I'm effectively unemployed at the end of the season. It's terrifying as it will be as if I haven't done anything." Northampton Saints home ground Franklin's Gardens looks like a fortress. It looms over the houses and businesses that surround it. In the car park are Rolls Royces, BMWs and Audis of the players turning up to training. Wales fly half Dan Biggar skips up a flight of stairs as I walk into reception. It's hard not to feel the stardom and celebration of s...
