Life Update Ramble

Hey Earthbugs,

In the summer of 2015 (I want to say) I used to do this thing called Weekly Rambles on my blog and today we're going to bring them back and just ramble about anything and everything that happens to pop into my head. I'm hoping it provides you with a bit of an update as to where I've been as I once again disappeared off the blogging Earth and go from there really. I'd usually say get a cuppa, but maybe a cool drink would be better in this horrible humid weather. But if you'd really like a cuppa, then pop that kettle on and let's get ready for a nice chatty post. 

The last couple of weeks have been hectic, fitting in with working I've been a bridesmaid and consequently had a long weekend visiting relatives in Blackpool and being reunited with other relatives from Yarmouth and Chicago. Of course, this has led to plans to visit Chicago and I'm very excited about them! I've also been to see Little Mix in Derby with my Mum and we had an incredible night (minus the traffic when leaving), they can put on a phenomenal performance and somehow still how amazing, which baffled me. I was never a fan of Little Mix but now I have to say, I love them and I love everything they stand for and think they're pretty fab. After Little Mix, it was a busy weekend full of more music at Tramlines with Jack and that was a wonderful weekend and I got right to the barrier for Jake Bugg which made me very happy. If you do not know who Jake Bugg is then I seriously recommend you listen to him, I may be biased but he's bloody brilliant. Oh and on Monday night I went to the cinema with my Nana to see Mamma Mia Here We Go Again and oh my gosh, it was SO worth the 10 year wait, I want every outfit young Donna wore, Lily James is the perfect choice for young Donna, it was just beautiful. Yes, I cried. All in all, a tad busy but happy.




When I finished uni, I thought "I'll have all this time off and can create lots of content for my blog" and in reality, that hasn't happened quite as much as I liked because I've been working quite a lot and I seem to be absolutely terrible at the whole work/blog balance. But I am going to try and make it a bit more successful because I do enjoy writing. 

It also seems a little bit weird that my first year of uni is already done and that flew by, so how quick are the next two going to be? Then I will be a fully fledged adult and I'm not I can qualify as one of those. I like to hang on the to the fact that I look about 14 and have little responsibilities as a good excuse to avoid adulting. I think I'm also in the stage of I kinda know where I want to be as my goal career, so to speak, but it will take a lot to get there so what do I do in the meantime? My mind has several squiggly lines drawn to different directions and I'm so thankful that I do have 2 years to decide because bloody hell, gone are the days when the most difficult decision was what pencil case you were going to have for the school year.

In terms of blogging, I'm definitely going to start adding more creativity posts into my blog because I thoroughly enjoy making pretty things. I'm also constantly thinking of ways to spread that positive little earthquake around, so bare with people. I'm going to start writing all my ideas in a notebook because that makes marginally more sense than me forgetting something. Be prepared, earthbugs!

I'm also going to the Deep on Sunday so I hope you're ready for a post on that because I'm SO SO SO EXCITED. 

All my love,

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...

Twenty

Hello Earthlings! As I sit and type this I'm tucked up cosy in bed and listening to the wind batter everything in sight, and it doesn't matter that today I turned 20 because the wind still scares me so I'm still going to tuck up as tight as I can and try my best to ignore it after I've typed this. But, anyway! Hi. Birthdays are a funny thing, you know they're going to happen and you know that you get older but they're a bit odd. When I was little, I looked forward to being a teenager which in itself is completely barmy (maybe I'm the only one intimidated by groups of teenagers...), and I always thought "13 is such a grown up age!!!" because 6 year old me was clearly clueless. I remember a particular time where I stood looking out of my bedroom window, in the house I lived in as a young child, wistfully into the distance (you know like they do on films where it gets to a real deep moment?) and couldn't wait for 13 to arrive so I could be a ...
