Brighton Shopping Trip with Maria x

Good Evening,

So on the 18th of July 2015 me and my best friend made the journey from our home town to Brighton for a bit of retail therapy, we had the best time! I didn't spend as much money as I thought because I had some gift vouchers left over from my birthday to spend which I spent to the fullest of their capacity :)

On the train we were listening to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone. it was fantastic, its is such a great story and I love listening to it on journeys out. but first we went to Morrison's and got some pretzels and salt and vinegar twists to eat on the way there and I ate most of them. (sorry Maria they were really yummy x)

When we got there it was quite hot and we headed straight down the road and hit the shops, but the first place we went to was Waterstones and we spent about 40 minutes in there I brought a book called 'A Little In Love by Susan Fletcher and it is about Eponine's story from Les Miserables and it sounds a great read (I will do a review when I have read it) I restrained my self from buying 'off the page' by Jodi picot and Samantha van leer but I have so many books ( I brought five three weeks before) so I didn't but I really want to read it.

After than we headed into Churchill Square and the shops were our oyster! we went into all the shops, some times twice! but the favourite thing that I brought was a Gingham Bra Dress from Miss Selfridge at £18.00. I love it some much and I think I am got to wear it when I go out with my friends later on. We had a very nice meal in an Italian restaurant called Italian Kitchen in Churchill square. we both had pizza which was amazing!

Then we went to the pier and took lots of pictures. it was the first time Maria had been on the pier and I think she really enjoyed it.

 

 

The best thing about the day through was spending a nice day out with my best friends , where we were free to talk about anything we wanted to and we had a great time! we took lots of silly photo's of us and some arty photos of us together which made us laugh even more! Maria had a great camera so the pictures looked great! and we also went into a photo booth and got some prints made and they make me laugh every time I look at them, because of the faces that we were pulling were rather strange, but I will save Maria from the embarrassment because they are pretty funny x

So that was my great day in Brighton with my best friends!

see you soon x

Trying Your Best

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I know its been a while but it has been a year since I first started my blog and that feels really strange. I know I haven't written many posts but that is going to change. but I can only write about what feels write and there is no point writing a blog post for the sake of writing a blog post.

today I wanted to talk about trying.
trying to do your best....
trying things that are new.....
just trying in general.

It was my Little brother( he's 14) celebration ceremony ( if I am not entirely sure if that's the right word but anyway..) and he got four awards.. and I am very proud of him for getting those awards for the different subjects that he is taking and it was clear how hard he had worked across this academic year to get those awards.

But during the ceremony it made me think of my time at school and yes I did get awards both in primary and secondary school for my achievements and hard work in subjects but it made me think whether I had tried my best at everything that I had done. my brother is doing much better than me at school and that is because he is more academic than me and yes I can say that I am a little jealous of him because I wasn't very academic as a child and now as an adult ( just turned 18) I cant help thinking that what would my life be like if I was smarter than what I am as smart as my brother when I was his age and getting A grades instead of struggling to get those few marks I needed to get from a high D to a C... what would I be doing... what would my chosen career be..... what college would I be going to..... what courses would I be taking... and would I be smart enough to go to university. And this all stems from sitting in a seat in a small rom watching my brother get a certificate. I said to my mum that if they put students from my classes into a room for the ones who the teacher would think 'well at least you tried' then that would be me. Because me trying my best never seemed to be good enough.
my brain does wonder.

So after all that I have come to the conclusion to look forward and not back, to have no regrets and to know that I did try my hardest and that is what I should be proud of and I should not compare my self to my little brother even if he is smarter than me.
I am me and he is him we are very different people and good at different things and that's what makes us... well us.

this blog post was rather deep, well this is a way for me to let my feeling out after all
... sorry x
next time it will be more light hearted
.... maybe a book review or something

See Ya Later

Missing You

Friends are getting further and further apart from me and that really scares me because I really need them, life is rubbish, I know it won’t be like this forever but for now I the people that I need to talk to I don’t have around me and that terrifies me more than I can say.

Its strange not spending every second in their company and I haven’t done since the May of 2013 and now 2015 is getting so close that I can taste it but the people I want to share it with are not their besides me and I really need them to tell me that everything is going to be ok and I just need to ride it out.

As soon as I left their company I through that we would still see each other as often as we did at school but just in our free time. But a little part of me always knew that was not going to happen, it was like the only thing we had keeping us together was school and now that has come and gone there is no reason for us to be together anymore and that makes me feel sick to my stomach every time I think about it, and the thing is that I can’t stop thinking about it because I miss them so much. I know that I like them way more than they ever liked me, but they helped me through some heavy thing for a teen to go through and I will be for ever great full to them for that, but it seems as there is no reason for us to be together anymore so were not.
