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,

Katy xo

The Last Year

So it's a new school year but this time for me, it's different. This year is all about getting the grades to be able to go to University next year. To cherish the memories I will make in the next year. I've started this blog because I love to write and I want to be able to do this weekly. Just touching on what's happened in the week and what's made me smile. Over the past few weeks, I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions. A lot of them were not good feelings and although some of those still remain, I am happy for once. I am happy because of the support I have from friends and family when telling them the problems I have and will be facing in the coming months. It's quite hard when you cannot tell anyone what you really feel when they ask how you are. You don't want to tell them to bring their mood down but you need to talk to someone. But right now, that is over with and i am enjoying the life I have. I am getting help for the problems I am faci

I CHANGED MY BLOG?

Now I know what you may be thinking and that is probably, why is Katy now writing her blog posts on Wordpress? I have been thinking about moving from Blogger for a while now and I saw a Tweet saying they were thinking of moving over to Wordpress too and so I decided to finally do it.  Blogger has been in my life for nearly 2 years and while it is a good site for Blogging, I needed a change and somewhere where I could explore my creativity more as an adult and be able to use a site where I could input my own made creations onto my own blog.  I made my first blog post on Blogger back in December 2015 when I was 17 and now that I'm 19, I knew I needed to make the transition with my blog but I didn't know how and I definitely didn't know when. So no, I haven't changed my blog at all, I have just changed the site where it is hosted. I will still keep my Blogger site up and live for people to see my old posts but this post will both be on my Blogger and Wordpress blogs.

Moving Out: 1 Year On

Now I waited a little bit after the 30th June to write this post (a month basically) mainly because I moved out of halls and into a house and basically I was busy with finding jobs and doing bits on the side and have been very M.I.A with my blog at the moment and I apologise so here is a long blog post about what happened after I moved out and where I am today and how I got here. So I left home (my Nan's house) on the 30th June 2016. That day was so hard for me. Leaving a place I called home was really scary but I knew at that point in my life I had to do it there and then. I waited with a friend and I stayed at his house for a few nights while I sorted things out and where I was going to stay and things like that. I was going to be moving into halls on September 10th that year for University so I had about 2-3 months to figure out where I would be staying and how I would get all my stuff for University with no job and no home. After a few days at that friend’s house, I was abl
