2017?!

It's less than a week till 2017? How did the year go so fast? It's Christmas Day tomorrow! Merry Christmas to those reading this!

Let's be honest, it has been a shit year for all of us. We have lost so many amazing people:

David Bowie
Alan Rickman
Sir Terry Wogan
Frank Kelly (Father Jack on TV Series Father Ted)
Sir George Martin
Paul Daniels
Ronnie Corbett
David Gest
Victoria Wood
Prince
Muhammed Ali
Gene Wilder
Leonard Cohen
Fidel Castro

and so many more. Some of these like Wogan and Corbett, I didn't even know about until last month. Knowing that these people who brought comedy and happiness into our lives through so many ways is so upsetting to see and really shows you that life is short and that this year has also gone so quick. I remember the day when Alan Rickman died. I was at school doing coursework for my final film in Media. It seems so long ago now. I have been through so much this year. Handing my final coursework in for Media and ICT and taking my final A2 exam for Drama. It has been such a ride for me. Summer was a mess but a good mess. I moved out of my nan's house on the 30th June, spent a week and a bit moving around to different friends houses (thanks, Ed and Thomas for putting up with me) then going up to Scotland to stay with my best friend Max for a month while I sorted my life out. I came back down to live at my dad's house on the 13th August, 5 days before results day. That day came and I got my grades and got accepted into my first choice University. I have finished my first semester at University and I am so happy I went. Learning more about film, cameras and scriptwriting. I am so confident with myself that I can do this. My depression and anxiety are gradually getting better due to the people I have surrounded myself with.

So this is the last post on this blog before 2017 comes next week. Thank you to those who have helped me this year. It means a lot to have you by my side. Let's make 2017 OUR year.

See you in the New Year!

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 ...

It's March?

It's nearly March and that means it is already 3 months into the year equalling to a 1/4 of the year. Already it is going slow but at the same time I am happy it is going fast. I am sad its going slow as it is my last year in secondary school and I want my exams over and my coursework handed in but also going fast means I don't live the next 7 months slowly and getting the best out of every minute. One thing I would love to do is be one of those people on Pinterest or Tumblr who have the time to cook and make these amazing things while I sit at my desk doing my work. I would love to start cooking amazing things like what I see on Pinterest. I also want to go travelling, I am already ready for summer. I miss the sun. In summer, the nights get longer and the days feel endless, it is such a good feeling when you're near a beach and you just listen to music taking in the sun. I haven't really been on holiday since moving out of my parents house when I was 11. Sure, I ha...

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...
