Megan Time!

So it's been a while since I've blogged. It's actually been a while since I've done any writing at all which is making me feel a little sad and guilty but at the same time I've literally had no motivation. This lockdown, I've been trying to take care of my mental health and not put pressure on myself. I've been either playing video games, reading or watching TV shows. Plus binge watch a few YouTube videos. Staying off social media has also really helped because I realised how much time I spent scrolling whereas I could be doing something that sparks joy instead. Social media doesn't really spark joy for me so I avoid it when I can. Another thing I've been trying to do is get back into a routine again where I am working on either my blog or my novel which is exactly what I'm doing right now. Although as I'm writing this, it's almost 12pm and I'm still in my pyjamas sitting on my sofa. I just had some motivation to blog so here I am...

On this day, six years ago was when I started my blog and posted my first post. I was seventeen years old and thought this blog would be a bit of fun. I didn't actually think in six years time I'd still have this blog and writing posts. Yet here we are in 2020 and I have been blogging for six years now. This blog is still a little hobby of mine but honestly I love it and spend a lot of time working on it. I know I'm probably not the most professional blogger in the world but I'm improving each and everyday which is a part of life really. I do love writing and actually being able to look back at my posts makes me super happy. I've blogged through sixth form and university so there are so many memories on this blog. This place is just a little piece of the internet I can call my own that I'm glad I can share it with all of you guys. I mean what amazes me is that more people have viewed this blog in the US than in the UK. Also I've had views from Russia, ...

So who even knows what day it is anymore? All days just feel the same. Most of my time is spent in the four corners of my bedroom. Being an introvert, I live for the inside. Except I always liked having the freedom to just go outside. While I love having personal space and everyone is keeping their distance (which is not such a bad thing), at the same time I long for the day where I can just walk around a shop and not have to worry about where I stand. I do miss freely shopping. I kind of hoped this wouldn't last but yet here we are with no idea when this is going to end. I'm not going to lie but I'm kind of sick of being in my bedroom all the time. While I kept myself busy with doing research, writing and binge watching Netflix. I kind of miss going out and being normal. Everyone is starting to say that this is the new normal and I know it's keeping everyone safe. I understand and I will listen to rules of the lockdown but at the same time, this is not great for my...

I've been so motivated recently just to blog. I've discovered a new method to blogging and that is to use my iPhone notes to write my posts. I think the notes app is one of the most under appreciated apps out there but I love it. I have about fifty notes where I rant, note down important things and just write away. It's great and now I use my notes to write down my blog posts. I kind of like this style of blogging where I just type away all my thoughts and feelings that spring to mind. I'm just saying what's on my mind and being real. I have always seen my blog as my online journal and making posts like this might be seen as a relaxed approach to blogging but at the end of the day, there is no right or wrong way to blog. I'm just being me. So who cares if this is a short post? It's still a blog post at the end of the day, published on my very own blog. Thank you for reading my post and I really do appreciate anyone taking the time to read my blog. It mea...

So I was wide awake at 4am in the morning where I decided to just open the notes app and start typing away a blog post. If you're wondering why I'm awake at 4am. No I haven't just woken up. I actually haven't slept yet. Mostly been watching the most random YouTube videos. I started watching some creepy and scary videos (which I don't know why I thought that was a good idea before bed) so then I decided to watch funny movie commentary videos to take my mind off it. Although I've had to try not to laugh so loudly because it was the middle of the night. So yeah that's pretty much what I've been doing. I thought I'd take a break to type this post out. Also another reason why I was awake at 4am, I took a four hour nap during the day. I don't know what's up with me. My sleeping pattern has been kind of crazy recently. I've been having the weirdest, realistic dreams which makes me feel weird. Also I've just been tired, I guess because my ...

I'm not listening! So taking a break from social media has really helped me out so much. I've noticed more and more people are spending time on social media now that we have to stay inside. I mean what is the point of endlessly scrolling if it sparks no joy. It's just boredom and pointless. That's why I've deleted all my social media apps (apart from Twitter as it's where I get my news updates) but I don't endlessly scroll Twitter because I don't follow a lot of people anyway so I don't see a lot anyway. I know that this is me ranting about social media but time can be spent on other things. Working on yourself. Taking care of yourself and trying to be happy. Every time I go back on social media on my laptop, just for a little browse, I get frustrated and get off in an instant. Maybe because I'm not a big social butterfly and hardly get any notifications anyway so it's not a loss for me. Besides having this blog is great because I can...
