Megan Time!

Have you ever had a really bad day? To the point you think you've hit rock bottom because that's what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Long story short, I got stood up and it hurt. I could have hid under the covers and hid from the world. Instead, I decided to have a day to myself. Get my independence back so that's what I did. I took a train into town because I knew I needed to get out of the house. My first stop was breakfast. I was going to go to a cafe but it was really busy so instead I went to Starbucks and had a bacon roll with a Caramel Macchiato. I was listening to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets while enjoying my breakfast but then decided to catch up on Eastenders because I like to keep myself entertained when I'm eating on my own. The earphones never come off. While watching Eastenders, I got my notebook out and decided I was going to write this post. I knew I wanted to get some writing done and was inspired by how I was feeling in the moment. I...

Finally we made it to the second month of the year. January always feels like a month that just never ends. Then we get to the shortest month of the year which is February with only twenty eight days. Then the year will just fly by. This month is supposed to be the month of love but sadly for me. I think I'm spending Valentine's Day once again alone. I nearly thought there might be a different outcome but I was forgotten about so it's just me again. I've spent the majority of Valentine's Day alone anyway. There was only one time that I wasn't alone and obviously that worked out great. It's just annoying when you go around the shops and you see these Valentine's gifts and you kind of wanna be like, what about the single people. Where's our day? We just get a birthday and that's it but everyone gets one of those so it's not really that special.  Anyway, Valentine's Day aside. I'm actually going to Cardiff to watch Wales vs Ireland for t...

Finally, we reach the end of January which means it's time for monthly favourites. I feel like January has gone on forever that I haven't had many favourites for this month but I wanted to share the few favourites I did have this month. Let's get started.  Better Man I saw this movie last Friday and I didn't realise how emotional it would make me. It's a biographical film of Robbie Williams. Except it has a difference. He is portrayed in a monkey form which is definitely a unique way of telling a biographical story. Yet it made a lot of sense because as Robbie Williams said himself, he doesn't feel fully evolved. This story was definitely an emotional one because it shows the rawness of his mental health and issues he's had over the years with substances. It's heartbreaking at times and I found myself crying a lot because there was a lot I could relate to in this story. It's little details because I have gone through a lot of fights with myself menta...

I thought I'd make this post as a little catch up post about how my January has gone so far. I don't know about you but January feels like it's going on forever but luckily we're on the last few days now before we head into the shortest month of the year. It started off with celebrating New Year's Day with family down in Somerset and watching the New Year's fireworks. It was a fun evening playing Knowledge Is Power on the Playstation which is a fun family quiz game. It was then time to travel home which I can only describe as the smoothest train journey I've experienced. No delays. Having a seat on every train. No bus replacements. It was the best train journey I've ever had.  Then it was back to reality by going to work. It snowed one day and I decided to go for a walk in the snow on the seafront. Got to take some nice pictures of the seafront covered in snow. I made fajitas which were very tasty before accidentally deciding to cut my own fringe and cut...

I don't know about you but for me January is a depressing month. The festive period is over. Everything has somewhat gone back to normal and the weather is cold and miserable. Especially if you live in the UK. Plus January just seems to go on forever and like it will never end. You definitely get the winter blues this month which is why I thought I'd share some things I do to give myself a little self care but also make me feel better when I have those moments of winter blues. Let's get started. Make a playlist of all your favourite songs I don't know about you but to me music really does impact my mood. Sometimes I hear my favourite songs and I can't help but sing along or just have a bop to them. Create a playlist of all your favourite songs so that if you're feeling low, just have a listen and soon you'll make yourself feel better through the power of music. Get up and go somewhere Whether that's down the street, going to get a coffee, meeting up with...

New Year! New Me! It's that time of year where we sit down and set some goals for ourselves for 2025. Thinking this year will be different. This year we will actually achieve our goals. We spend a week or two doing just that where we work on our goals before giving up by the time February rolls around mainly because we lose the motivation to do what we really want to do or procrastinate it onto next month which is never a good idea because if you procrastinate it then most likely it won't get done.  That's why I thought I'd make this post as I wanted to make some changes to my life and apply them in 2025. I thought these can help me to get more motivated and help me live my best life. Without further ado these are the changes I'm going to make in 2025. Making a list of everything you want to achieve Writing down everything you want to do can be motivational and get you started on the right track. For starters you’ll have ideas on what you plan to do throughout the y...

Happy New Year! I can't quite believe it's 2025. It feels like yesterday it was 2024. (Pause for laughter) Apologies had to be done. Hehe. January is here which means it's time to set new goals, plan the year and then give up by the time February comes around. I don't really know if I have any New Year's Resolutions planned as of yet. There's always the usual ones of getting healthy, finding love etc. Yet I think the only thing I really want to do in 2025 is be happy and make lots of memories.  I'm turning twenty nine in October which means in October 2026, I'll be thirty which is quite scary as I feel like my life is all over the place at the moment and I feel like I'm falling behind sometimes. I think this year that I really need to start knuckling down. Start completing the rest of my bucket list before I turn thirty and make some real changes to my life. There are a few things I need to get done this year but I'm not going to reveal all just ...
