I Want Summer!

Is it normal to have wanted Summer for the last 3 months? Yes? Well thank god because it's what I have wanted since January. I don't know why but summer seems like it is going to be good this year. I am 18 in a month and will be with my boyfriend for some of the summer. Seems like it will be the best summer ever!

I don't know what I am going to do in the summer but I hope I will be going somewhere with my boyfriend and having some time together after our exams have finished. I kind of want to go to places I went with my parents when I was younger. We always used to go to the seaside for a day and come back late at night. Those were the memories that have stuck by me. Just thinking about the past and the days I would spend with my parents. We didn't have a lot of money to spend there.We would take sandwiches and I would sit in my dad's wheelchair (we only had one seat in the back) and I would sometimes take my duvet so I could sleep on the way home. I never thought about the future then. I never thought that 6 years on from that year I would have lost a parent, be going to boarding school and then be going to University. I thought about if we would stop at a services so I could get a drink and some food. I remember going to Weston Super-Mare and just having a picture with my sister outside a amusement buildin/casino for both children and adults.

You think back to when you were younger and you question what you thought about and how you lived without a phone. I know I lived without a phone and now that I have one, it seems to be stuck to me. We go through our lives now Snapchatting and Instagramming going to the gym and putting on Facebook that we've been friends with someone for 5 years on the site. It doesn't seem normal not to have a phone and I am not saying it is bad to have a phone and do all those things but I miss the times where I could be with my family, enjoying ourselves collecting shells on the beach, taking photos on a flip phone or disposable camera.

I miss going on day adventures and I will sure do it in the future with my family. Just take a day trip to somewhere like Scarborough to see the seaside and just to be there like I was when I was younger.
Question what you did as a child and if you would do it with your family in the future. I know I will.

Have a good week,

I Left Home...

So some but not many people will know this due to me keeping it quiet and away from social media because I was told by someone "you'll put something on Facebook or Twitter about this" and I wanted to prove them wrong so I decided to wait a while and then write a blog post about it. When I was 16, I wanted to be myself and be independent so I made myself more mature and thought about decisions before making one due to my past where I had rushed decisions which would often lead to the wrong choice. Now that I am 18, I know the "big wide world" is scary and that going out there alone will be tough. Last Thursday, I was pushed to my limit where I couldn't stand feeling trapped and alone anymore and made the decision to leave home. It was a big decision, a really big one. I didn't know if I would come back or if I would ever see my guardian again because I didn't wanna be there if I was going to be treated like I was 10 years old. I'm going to ...

Some Sort of Update!

So I know I haven't posted a blog post since April and the last one I posted was about my depression. I have been very dormant due to finishing two of my subjects in school (Media and ICT) and because of that, I have more time to focus on my drama exam! Written work is something that is tricky for me as I am not that good at explaining things sometimes therefore it's a little harder when writing big essays. Especially when the sections are up to 30 marks each! But as I have now cut down on my work load, I am still finding ways to procrastinate and I know I shouldn't and just get the work done but over the past few weeks, my motivation really hasn't been there. I want the drive to do the written work, to be able to have the motivation to push myself to get better but it's not there. I don't know why maybe because of depression or anxiety of failure but it's very annoying. It is nearly the end of my secondary education and I can't say i have enjoyed...

Life is too Short..

Over the weekend, we have heard that Christina Grimmie was shot dead at her concert in Orlando and a mass shooting again in Orlando at Pulse nightclub where over 50 people were killed. This has to stop. Gun control needs to be in place otherwise these attacks will keep happening in the future. It makes me think though, life is too short. Life is too short to worry about things. Do things that make you happy and that make you feel alive. Don't feel sad because something is over, feel happy because it happened and then find something else to focus on. If you focus on the good things, you will have a better life. Yes there will be ups and downs but getting out of the downs will make you a stronger person. If you lead your life on negatives you will not get happier and you won't find the positives to focus on. Take life by the balls and live life to the fullest because I promise you, you will find those things that make you happy and that make you want to jump up and down in jo...
