A new chapter

Hello Lovelies! This week I thought I'd do a more personal post instead of the general topics. I came across a photo on Facebook recently (shown below) and this is what this post is inspired by.


Over the summer I hit my lowest point, even lower than when my brother walked out 4 years ago, it wasn't a great time for me for a number of reasons. Me and my friends, who I'd been friends with for years, grew apart and now we don't speak. This is a natural part of life and there are no bad feelings between us but it was a bit shit at the time.

Then my brother reached out to me and said he wanted to speak to me, I was a little nervous to let him in again ( which is understandable if you know our history) but I said that it would be good to build a relationship again. We bumped into each other at our local pub and it was if the last 4 years hadn't happened, it was so nice to have him back. Then a few weeks later he messaged my mum inviting her and my dad round his house but I wasn't invited. He said he wanted to 'take things slowly' with me. That hurt a lot especially as he hasn't been in contact since. To have him reject me again was painful. So you can see why I wasn't in my best frame of mind.

Obviously my parents are always supportive and are there if I need to chat. Without them I would've completely fallen apart; they are my best friends!

There were other elements in my life that started to brighten too. I met a guy in a club in April and we have spoken nearly everyday since we met. He came back from his travels in August and he picked up all of my broken parts and put me back together. By the end of the month he became my boyfriend and I've never been this happy with someone before. I don't think I've properly thanked you for how amazing you've been Jack, so thank you <3 (the photo below is the only one we have together haha)


The friends that I do still have at home have been amazing to me as well. I'm back in Southampton now for uni and it has been so great to see familiar friendly faces! There have been a few drunken nights and catch ups to make me feel like myself again. I'm sure if you follow me on any social media you would've seen that I am attached to one person at uni more than anyone else. Sim. She's my Uni best friend and I literally tell her everything. The other day I woke up in a bad mood for various reasons and she just came in my room and completely cheered me up. I cannot thank her enough for always being here. I love being back at uni with these beautiful people and it feels as though second year is a new chapter for me.








I have been through the shit and it feels as if I am back to myself again. I aim to make this year my own and try to focus on the good parts of my life rather than the bad.

Sorry if this post has been a little cheesy!

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
