When you think about it, we developed and established friendships from such a young age. From our first day in school when we sat on the grass making daisy chains or having handstand competitions. You make friends with such ease when you're young. Well, when you spend 6-7 hours a day in the classroom 5 days of the week, you're bound to have each other's backs.

The Story of Friendships

Ok ok, I admit I haven't written THE most upbeat posts in the last month and I kind of apologise for being 'Grumpy'. Before I start singing "Hi-ho, hi-ho", let's get stuck into this post.
Now that I made that decision to move on all by myself (what a very adulty thing for me to do!) and I'm starting to feel good about things, it's time to take control of my life again!




Taking My Life Back

I feel like I'm starting adulthood from scratch, and I couldn't be more thrilled about that! Some may say that I'm going through a mid, mid-life crisis or they may cheer me on with pom poms, who knows?! All I know is that thing's seem more exciting than they did a few years ago, and I am what I call ecstatic!



I'm not saying it'll be easy, Lord knows, life hasn't dealt me an easy hand at times. I just need to take my life and give it a good shake by the shoulders and tell it to pull itself together. There are so many things I want to do and try. For instance, I'd love to set up my own blogging photography business, I want to write a blogging Ebook, I want to travel to more places around the UK (money permitting, of course) and even finally renew my passport and go abroad to a couple of the places on my travel wanderlust list. I can't find my existing passport in my house, believe me, I've looked everywhere! I wonder if I should put it in that secret cupboard upstairs?

Taking My Life Back

Anyway, enough about lost passports. I think I can safely say that even though I have pushed myself out of that comfort zone everyone talks about, I feel like I have slumped back into that comfort zone armchair, pigging out on pizza and waiting for and declining life's next big opportunity.



I'm going to (try) be brave enough to start over, if I want to lead the life I want, I've got to chase what I want and be courageous enough to, regardless of any obstacles that may get thrown my way. I need to become "unfuckwithable" (see top for definition) . I have actually fallen in love with that word. Good old Pinterest for showing this word on my feed when I was searching for quotes.

Taking My Life Back

I'm determined now to not let anyone steal my smile, well, not anytime soon. My life is my story - my book. Nobody else will write it for me and I will not apologise for the edits I make to it.



A little bit of wisdomly advice for you lovely readers, life is what you make of it. If there's something you don't like about it, fix it. Get rid of any toxicity, anything or anyone that brings you to tears. You have to forget about how you feel and think about what you deserve. Sometimes being a little selfish is ok, it doesn't make you a bitch, it shows you care about yourself.



You'll learn lessons along the way, some happy and some sad - but you'll learn from them and that's how you grow. Take your life back if you've lost it, don't let it slip away. It's up to you what you do in your life, fuck what anyone else thinks, your life is YOURS.
