I Don't Know What To Do With My Life

Image
I thought I'd make this post because I know there is probably a lot of people who feel the same way I do and have no idea what to do with my life.  I'm twenty four and if someone tells me where do I want to be in five years? Honestly, I have no idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an unhappy person. I'm currently studying a master's degree in Manchester and I'm happy that I've managed to do this. However, in two months I'll be moving back home to Wales and if you're wondering what's next after that. Honestly, no idea. Not a clue. All I know is I'll be surrounded by the best supportive people I know, and they are my family and my best friend. It may feel like you're taking a step back moving back home after living on your own, but it is not. It is hard knowing I could be living in Manchester and embracing the opportunity, I love the city of Manchester and I know for a fact I will return one day but at the moment I'm not in the best fi...

My Reading List

Image
As you know I am a massive bookworm and I have a reading list of books that I'm really excited to read so I thought I'd share with you my current reading list.  Current Read: The Switch by Beth O'Leary I feel I'm a bit late to the party with this book as it came out last year but being a reading slump for several months didn't help then being in lockdown in Wales while this book was in Manchester also didn't help. I have been excited to get around to reading this as I enjoyed The Flatshare and this sounded like a fun read. It's about a grandmother and granddaughter switching lives and it reminded me of those body switching or swapping lives stories like Freaky Friday or The Parent Trap. I've only read two chapters but I'm already excited to keep going with this book. I think she's a great writer and usually I don't like those multiple character stories as I feel they get confusing sometimes but with Beth's stories they just work. It worke...

Dating Pet Peeves

Image
The world of dating is full of pet peeves that really do grind my gears. I've only ever experienced online dating twice in my life, but these lasted for a few months and I came to learn many pet peeves which was really frustrating, so I thought I'd share what my dating pet peeves. Maybe you can even relate to them. 1. Nothing Serious I don't mean to sound like a dumb ass, but what does it even mean when they're say they don't want anything serious? Most of the time this phrase means just sex and nothing more. Why not just say I just want sex and a bit of fun? That's it then we will all know where we stand. Why do things that make it seem like it's more than that? Why text first? Why buy food for me? Why talk about personal things? I mean I know serious obviously means taking it to a relationship level but why can't we have actual dates when it's not serious? Why not have fun outside the bedroom? Or do you just see a body and nothing more? 2. Honesty ...

What To Do When You're Alone

Image
Loneliness affects all of us in different ways. After this whole pandemic, more and more people have been feeling alone from not being able to see anyone to being home alone. Sometimes it can be upsetting, heart breaking and makes you wonder why you are alone, but it doesn't have to be this way. Being introverted, I do like my alone time, but I do get days where I feel alone sometimes. We all get lonely sometimes so that is why I thought I'd make this post and share my tips on what to do when you're alone or feeling lonely.  1. Get Outside Sometimes being cooped up in your home or your bedroom can emphasize the loneliness because you may start overthinking and suddenly things you would usually enjoy are not bringing any joy. Find your nearest park or woodland area and go for a walk. A few weeks ago I came across this beautiful park that I love to walk around and try to do on a daily basis. It honestly makes me feel so much better to just get out in the fresh air. There'...
