4 years

Hello lovelies. 4 years is a long time. 4 years ago I was just about to turn 16, from then until now I think I have grown up and shaped myself into the person I am today. This I have done without my brother, my once best friend, who hasn't spoken to me in 4 years. I'm not going to explain why, you can go back and read about that in my previous blog posts, I just wanted to post somewhere as a source for my pain. I don't even know if that's the right word, pain? It was painful at the time it happened but now I have kind of moved on the word to describe the way I feel escapes me. I think the hardest part is going through so many things and not being able to share it with him. All of my results days, moving away from home and going uni, my first heartbreak, all of that I have had to do without him. I was about to type alone but I haven't been alone, I have my parents, my friends and my boyfriend but there's something a little different about having your sibling

Writing opportunities

Hello lovelies. If you are my friend on Facebook then you will know that I have recently became a blogger for a company called 'University cribs'. This is so exciting for me because all I've wanted to do since I was 13 was to become a journalist and being able to write for a company that has thousands of readers is amazing. This opportunity came to me through my friend Ashlea, the company were advertising for student bloggers and as I write this blog Ashlea tagged me in the post and got all of this rolling. I suppose the reason that I'm writing this post is to kind of inspire some of you who are thinking of starting a blog but haven't built the confidence too yet. I started writing my blog nearly two years ago now. The reason that I started it was that I write for a local magazine in Melksham, I've been doing that for 3 years, and I'm the kids columnist. This means that I don't get to write about what I want to as children don't really want to know

Anger

Anger. A feeling I have on a daily basis, you know that feeling you get when you're about to explode because you're so angry? The bubbling knot you have in your stomach? I wake up with that feeling everyday, most days. This might be because I keep my feelings to myself most of the time. So if something annoys me I keep it to myself, bury it and then just push more hurt and anger on top of it. I do this for two reasons. The first is that I'm a people pleaser, I hate it when people don't like me I have a chronic need for people to like me. The second is that people won't think my feelings are valid. For example the other day I got annoyed and spoke to my friends about it. Instead of being in my side or at least comforting me they labelled it a 'miscommunication' and disagreed with everything that I said. Yes, if I am being over the top maybe suggest I could be misconstruing things, but at least acknowledge the way that I'm feeling. This is why I keep thin

President Trump.

Donald Trump is now the 45th president to be elected. Yep you just read that correctly. The sexist, racist bigot is now in charge of one of the most influential countries in the world. The question that I want Americans to answer is how could they back track so much? They had just elected their first black president, for two terms, and now they have elected the most misinformed politician we've ever seen. I thing that confuses me the most is how could any woman vote for Trump after he made sexist comments such as 'grab her by the pussy'. He responded when this was leaked by saying it was locker room banter. This isn't the case, it's disrespect to all females, the fact that he thinks it's okay to treat females in this manner is disgusting. The young girls of America now have this man as a leader and role model. Of course in the run up to the vote Trump said some outrageous things, such as building a wall on the border of Mexico, to appeal to the radicals t
