Megan Time!

Your twenties can sometimes be lonely at times but it's important to make the most out of this by taking time for yourself. I saw a quote about Mr Bean on Instagram about the importance of enjoying your own company instead of expecting other people to make you happy. As many who know Mr Bean, he's a man that does a lot of things on his own and doesn't care what others think. He dines alone at a restaurant, goes to an amusement park, stays in a hotel and even ends up going on holiday by himself. Although if you've seen Mr Bean's Holiday you know he doesn't end up alone for long but still, he never expected to make friends while on holiday. It just happened. That's why it's important not to dwell on loneliness because you never really know what can happen. If you spend time enjoying your company then everything will soon fall into place and maybe along the way you meet friends or even a potential partner. The most important thing is to be happy and content...

Can't believe we're in the fourteenth day of March and my last post was on the first of March. A lot has happened this month already though.  The biggest news of all is I finally have a car. It's been a long time since I passed my driving test back in August 2023. Over a year now of not driving but when I test drove the car last Friday, it all came back to me. It's a Ford Fiesta 2023 Trend in this ocean blue colour. I honestly love it so much. I've been driving around it and so far it's gone well. I'm slowly getting familiar with it and stalled once at a roundabout. It's just about building my confidence again behind the wheel. I've yet to drive it by myself but I may take a chance and drive myself to work. That will be interesting.  In other news, I'm still working on my novel. I'm currently doing a bit of research on social media influencers because my main character in the book is a social media influencer. I've learned that doing the ...

The third month of the year is finally here as the way it goes with January feeling like it will never end to February flying by in a flash. I do like when March comes around because for me it's the start of Spring. The days feel longer when the clocks go forward and the evenings are getting lighter again. I do enjoy the weather also because it's not quite hot but it's not cold either. It's just right in a way. It reminds me of the weather in Autumn. I think Spring has to be my second favourite season after Autumn.  I don't have much planned for this month although recently I've been going out for long walks and doing a lot of writing which I'm hoping to continue as the weather gets nicer. I do hope this month will be a productive month for me in terms of my writing as well as my blog. I do have a few posts planned for this month which I'm very excited to share with you. I might do a photo a day in March and share my photos in a photo journal at the end ...

The end of the shortest month of the year which means it's time for a favourite post. Here is everything I've been loving in the month of February. Cheaters This is a BBC comedy that tells the story of two people that end up sleeping with each other while in Finland only when they get home realise they are neighbours. Even more shocking, one is married and one is in an eleven year relationship. The episodes are around ten minutes long and series two came out last year. This is a very raunchy series with scenes of a sexual nature so definitely not for adult viewing. It's a fun series that deals with the morality of cheating and why people end up cheating. Obviously cheating is not an answer for any relationship complications but this series definitely makes you understand why someone may cheat on their partner. It's a relatable series and has a nice use of representation in it. Definitely a series you can binge watch as the episodes are quite short which makes it easy to...

Something that I've been meaning to do for the longest time is to start writing my novel. I did write a first draft of a novel back in 2020 during the lockdown but I never revisited again and lost interest in writing. Recently I've really had the creative bug and I even took a creative writing course on Skillshare which really inspired me to write.  I started developing ideas for a story and the creative juices started flowing. I had an idea for a particular plot twist that happens in the middle of the story. Instead of starting to write in a linear format from start to finish, I decided to write in a non linear format where I started to write the chapter in the middle of the novel where the plot twist happens. It felt good because I knew what I wanted to happen and knew I could work my way from this chapter. It made me realise that this is the best way to write because rather than struggling to figure out how your story begins or how it ends, you can work on a significant mome...

Hello, my name is Megan and I'm twenty eight years old. I've been blogging for ten years now and I honestly love it. It allows me to be creative, write what I want and also manage my own website. Of course, I've made a few mistakes along the way but overall I'm proud of every post I've made. My blog has grown to over 160,000 page views in that time which is a number I never thought it would reach but here we are.  Now onto the question of this post, why should you start a blog in 2025? Let's break it down. Allows you to be creative If you find yourself feeling like you don't have a creative outlet in life or want to be a writer but don't know where or what to write. Starting a blog can be a useful tool to have for many reasons. It allows you to work on your writing skills. Imagine if you were a character on The Sims and you have that bar on top of your head growing with the writing skills, that's what writing on your blog is like. The more you do it ...
