Confusion

Hello lovelies!

I know it has been a while since I have posted but that is what today's post is all about. Firstly I'd like to say happy new year to you all and I hope your Christmas breaks were amazing!

I'm in a confused head space at the moment as to what to do with my blog. Most bloggers my age write about beauty and fashion and although I love to read these blogs and indulge in these topics myself, I feel as though I'm not interested in writing about them. I love to feel passionate when I'm writing and many times since my last post I have started to write about products I have bought etc. and I've just deleted them all because they all sound fake, as though it's not me who has written the piece.
I would love to write things about politics and history but I know the common audience for blogs wont read that content. This is why I'm so confused, I don't know whether to stop blogging or just to succumb to what will be popular but go against what I'm passionate about.

What has inspired these thoughts is that I watched a Michilak vlog recently where Stefan says that they make content that they would want to watch themselves and don't follow the usual youtube crowd. I want to do that with blogging but I don't know if I'll be laughed at, mocked or just be completely unsuccessful. For example when I broke away from blogging content before in my post 'let's talk about sex' people within my sixth form at the time criticized me as a writer and as a person. This stopped me writing for months and I don't want to experience it again.

I think the have conclusion that I will come to is to trial content that I want to write and see how it goes, if I fall flat on my face then at least I tried, right?

On a side note, thank you for all the views I have had recently! It really brightened my Christmas when I saw how many of you were reading my content!

Sorry for the rant but I had to get that off of my chest!
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...
