Happiness

How that I have expressed some parts of my life, you may be wondering if this has caused me to be sad and depressed all the time but surprisingly most of the time I am happy, in fact people pick me up on always being happy and positive. I guess that is because I don’t want to be tainted by the things that have happened to me and I want to move on from them so this post is simply going to be a list of things that make me happy.

The Beach – Living my the sea means that I have spend many days in the sunshine down the beach with friends or family or sometimes my myself. The main things that I love about the beach is the smell because it reminds me of fun and exciting memories but also just the views that you get no matter the time of the day specially as where I live can be quite unattractive at times. This is the place that I go when I need to reflect, relax and also when I want to make more memories. 

Reading – Recently this has been something that I have picked up again because as much as some people see it as a chore, I absolutely love it. I love getting stuck into other peoples lives and knowing their stories even if they are a fictional character. I love that I can pick up a book and not have to worry about what’s happening around me for a little while. I guess some would say this is how I escape from the world but with the constant reminders of negativity on the news this is well needed.

Working – I love going to work and not having to having to concentrate on anything but making people happy. I work in a pretty average size cafĂ© which has a much larger sized cake cabinet and I absolutely love it when I serve a happy customer a slice of cake and they smile. I love seeing people enjoy something that I have put the time and effort into doing. 

Watching Series – I love anything that has be hooked, similar to reading I love that I can draw into the stories that appear. Some of my favourites have included Prison Break, Pretty Little Liars, Orange is the New Black, Gossip Girl, etc. I literally could carry on the list, because once I start I can’t stop so waiting for a new episode of Pretty Little Liars at the minute is pretty much killing me. One of the first series that I watched was Life Unexpected and I love Britt Robertson, her character was so relatable and the stories were so interesting but comical. 

Shopping – There is nothing better than finding a new outfit to brighten up your wardrobe. It always makes me so happy when I have come home from a successful shopping trip, it might not make my bank account happy but I know that I have money well spend. I also love coming in and showing my mum the new clothes that I have brought, I also love her expression when there is something that she might not like and she goes ‘’okay’’ as if to say ‘are you sure that’s what you wanted’. 

Learning – This may make me seem like a right nerd but I love to learn new things and I love it when I can then use that knowledge to help someone else because so empowering to me. I love learning about different things but my preferred subject is Geography because there is so much to learn about the world and its so interesting, every lesson there is something new to learn and find out about. 

As you can how see there are many things in my life that make me so happy that fill each day with smiles and laughter.

Bullying

Something that has always infuriated me is bullying as it is never something that anyone likes to go through but it is worse to watch. It is something that comes in many different forms and can't always be seen as it's described as 'banter' or 'only joking' or 'I'm playing with you'. All of which could impact someone more than you think, you don't know whether those words or actions are going to upset or hurt them. Sometimes its just a matter of choosing our words better but sometimes bullying can take place on a level that isn't appropriate and needs to be stopped. As someone that has both experienced bullying and watched people be bullied as well as the consequences of bullying, it is something that I'm very passionate about stopping as I feel that our community needs more love and friendship, than it does hate. Hate can only increase the negative aspects of life and could lead to more consequences such as self-harm which shouldn'

Tell yourself you look beautiful everyday

Something that I have previously spoken about but yet something so important to me is my weight and body confidence. This is something that is constantly bringing me down on a day to day basis. Since coming to university I guess that it has been triggered even more because I am surrounded by people that I would see as looking attractive and having bodies that make me very jealous. This I would say has not helped my body confidence at all as well as the university standard of living not helping my case. It is not something that I love to talk about with anyone because of how low it makes me feel but I guess I am sharing it with you. This is not because I want to make others feel bad about themselves, but to help others know that they are not the only ones going through this.  During my time back at home during Easter, I found that I was extremely low with my body confidence and just wanted to be in slouchy clothes. I was just so unhappy with my body that I didn't want it on show a

Battles

Everyone in life will face a number of battles that will make them as a person, these will make everything feel like they are going through a hurricane and that there is no end to the pain. Some battles end in tragedy but some battles end with hope for the future. My battle has been one that I have had to face for 9 years now and it one that usually excels me but today it resulted in a panic attack when I came face to face with my abuser. My everyday life consists of me going to college and enjoying every moment because I have my friends and a close family. I like to leave the past in the past and therefore do not have a relationship with my abuser out of fear and lack of trust that the incidents won’t happen again. I guess for you to understand I need to explain what happen and how it impacted my life. When I was younger, me and my two sisters lived with my parents but one day I was told that they were separating which made my world fall apart, I got used to it though. Everyo
