5 years on.

5 years ago something happened in my personal life that changed who I was. If you have been reading my blog for a while then you'll know what this is, if you haven't take a break from this post and skip through and have a read. Everything that happened then made me a stronger person, something I am grateful for at this particular moment in my life.

Everyone around me said at the time that everything happens for a reason. Losing the person who was closest to me at the time, not through a circumstance out of our control but through them voluntarily walking away from me was the worst thing I could imagine. I ignored everyone who said that to me. What was the reason behind me losing my brother, my confidence and my family unit as I knew it? I think I've finally figured out what the reason was for this: to make me a strong and independent person. Now if someone hurts me I can deal with it, knowing that even when the most important person was taken away from me I was able to survive and even thrive in life.

In the last 5 years I have achieved good grades in GCSE's and A levels, achieved my dream of going to University and defeated some of my anxiety demons by making friends for life at Uni. Whatever life throws at me because of what happened all that time ago I know I can handle it, I can say now that I'm glad it happened because without it my life would be completely different to what it is now. I am so proud that I have got to a stage where I can say that, that life event no longer defines me and it's like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

I can't wait to start 2018 and see what life has in store. Roll on the best year of my life so far.

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...
