Ello :)
So some of you may have been wondering why i haven't been posting lately and the truth is i've had little time to do so for a few reasons which i will explain.
1). Friends.
Yay! my friends are back from uni, which i'm very happy about. I've been spending a lot of time with my friend Emma, who i actually got closer to when she was away at uni and since she's been back we've pretty much seen each other at least once a week. We share similar interests and similar schedules so means at this point in time if i don't have something to do on my day off, usually Emma is there to do something. She also has just joined my Zumba class and we've discussed going to the gym together and possibly running as well to keep our fitness levels up, without going to crazy.
I also recently went away with Lish to London for a few days and once i came back i was in work so had no time that week.
I intend to see more positive influences in my life more often so may not be updating every week as such but will try my very best, which brings me onto my next reason...
2). Mental Health
My mental health hasn't been brilliant lately, in fact it's been pretty appalling. I've had a massive wobble with my anxiety to the point where i was ready to give up with the world. I'm still not 100% with it, i don't think ill ever be but i took a step back for a little while on social media in terms of browsing Facebook etc and watched more Youtube which made me happier. I also spent a lot of my time away from blogging as said above analysing pretty much all my friendships and whether or not they are a negative impact or positive impact on my mental health and deciding to maybe not see the people who make me feel negative as much if i can or avoiding them completely if i can as it just disrupts my recovery and feel like i'm taking 2 steps back all the time. I aim to surround myself with positive people, who don't argue, who support me, who make me happy and make me feel good about myself.
Blogging does help with my recovery, don't get me wrong and i love blogging as it takes me away from the world, but i found after my post i needed to take a bit of time out to just think about everything and how i want this to go and friendships and lifestyle choices etc.
3). Not being on social media as much
As i haven't massively been involved with social media and going on my phone as much, apart from watching Youtube i've not been going on blogger or reading half of my friend's blogs, sorry guys. I haven't read them as i haven't been on blogger, i still care about them and how they are feeling.
4). Events/social activities
July was quite a busy month with British Summer Time, My few days away and other small social events, such as seeing Six!the musical and joining my Zumba class which is now what my Mondays consist of.
5). Work/Apprenticeship and Home life
Football season has just started meaning, less time for me unfortunately. So i'm working on average 5/6 days a week with one/two day off so i may get round to doing blogging if all my college work for my apprenticeship is completed. Good news is i finish my apprenticeship in December, to which i intend to spend my free time blogging more, creating some content and taking a journalism course, hopefully.
Another reason is, if you don't already know i now have two kittens to look after called Bucky and Wesley and obviously i still have Angel. It was the right time to give Angel some company but they are little rascals so a lot of my time is spent chasing them haha!
As previously said, i will try to upload a bit more in future and not take as big of breaks as this. I also plan to next year get my office space/dressing room sorted out to add some more structure to my life and hopefully create some Youtube videos and some gaming videos with friends, who have already said they would be happy to participate.
That's it for today!
