Life Expectations.

When youre a 28/29 year old female, still living at home with her parents, single and with no kids. It can seem like life hasnt taken the right path and that i am failing.

However, who is to say that i am? who is saying that that is the right path for me at least?

I have never ever wanted to buy my own house and people say i am choosing to waste my money, but firstly why is buying a house a sign of success? why is it considered failing if you choose to rent? why cant we choose to just have a house and a roof to live under.

i have always chose to save for a holiday and travel, i very rarely travel in Europe. I am not saying i havent been to europe i just choose to travel places slightly further away. Such as USA and Austrailia. On my bucket list i really want to travel to Dubai, Thailand, Indonesia, basically anyplace in asia. Hong Kong is also near the top of my travel bucket list.

When it comes to life paths why does it feel like we are constantly competeing, with social media and people putting there highlights on their feed it can be seen to be hard to keep up, but i personally believe that everyone is on their own timeline and that everyone deserves to do whats right for them.

life is for living. not competeing

2018- A round up

2018 has been a year of good and bad. As most years go I suppose. January started off with me feeling extremely low. Having lost my Nan only 4 months prior and having to go through Xmas without her was probably one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do so far in my life. She was, and still is, one of my biggest hero’s in life and will continue to be one of my biggest inspirations in life. That a side I decided to join slimming world in January and haven’t looked back since. Since January I have lost 2 stone and I’m so proud of myself. I’ve never ever stuck to anything and even though I have found it difficult I’m still two stone lighter than what I was before this year began.

I started a new job then quit said job three months later, went back to McDonald’s full time. Learnt lots of new things about myself and I’m taking that into 2019

Celebrated some birthdays Nala-Grace turned 1 Amelia turned 2 and Fraser turned 5 these children are growing up too fast and there growing up to be amazing clever and beautiful children.

We lost some people this year and it was sad but i know these people would have wanted us to not be sad but to enjoy the memories we have of them. Geoff, Eleanor, Linda and Irene. You were so important to those around you. Just know you’ve left holes that cannot be filled.

I got to go on the most amazing holiday and meet Mickey Mouse

I had the best time and wish I could go back.

Anyway I have had the best year. Highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But I am going to make 2019 even better than 2018 and ensure I hit my goals.

Happy new year to you all. Stay safe , stay happy and stay you.

All the best for 2019

#BlackLivesMatter

In recent events all over the world, with many  innocent lives lost, I feel a sense of hopelessness in the world with all faith In humanity lost. 

With terrorist attacks in the Middle East to the death at the Nightclub Pulse in Florida to now police brutality in Louisanna which resulted in Alton Sterling, and African American man, losing his life, it’s safe to say that the world isn’t a pleasant place to live in at the moment. I feel like as a white female in the UK I don’t come across many restrictions on my life, if any, because I live in a first world country that gives me an education, I come from a very supportive family with a roof over my head, food on the table and role models to give me a positive lead in my life. 

I am very privileged in the sense I can go anywhere I want to go, I can do anything I want (obviously within reason) and I can say anything I want without persecution. 

I feel like we should as a planet population be working together to ensure that we leave a world that our children will be proud of. That our grandkids will be safe and free from persecution. 

I just feel very unsafe in our world. Very unsettled in what’s going on our world and hopefully one day it will change

Is it bad that as an unoppressed white woman im bothered by what’s going on. Is it normal to be afraid even though I’m not in the minority’s targeted. I don’t know but what I know is i care for people whether they’re 

• Black 
• White
• Asian
• Gay
• Straight
• Bisexual 
• Transgender 

At the end of the day if you’re a good person and treat me right I will respect you. 
Rest in peace to all those lost in these senseless attacks. 

May you all live in a peaceful place of rest now. 

To the rest of my readers 

Dream big for a better world 

Love
