ANNOUNCEMENT

As of the first Wednesday of 2018 I have launched a brand new blog site. I would encourage all my current followers to click the link below and come check it out. It's bigger and better than ever!

“I am a Procrastinator!”

Lol so this is a topic that I think MOST teenagers can relate to. I am a procrastinator! I can be terrible sometimes. Like I procrastinate so much, I even procrastinate having fun. Last week I told myself I wanted to go take myself shopping or go to the movies with a friend which I haven’t done in a while, I still haven’t done that yet. Other things I’ve put off this week include two blog posts (I told myself I would post three a week), my research for a SAC that’s due this Wednesday and the old favourite, tidying my room.

Oh, and don’t worry, I have plenty of excuses for each and every task that I put off or fail to complete. Coming up with those is the easy part. I’m too tired, I’ll just sleep-in instead. I have no inspiration. Just one more YouTube clip won’t hurt. I’ve got plenty of time. My room isn’t that messy. I guess as teenagers, we just prefer to take the easy way out and if a task is too daunting or too time consuming we’d rather just avoid it. Also, if we have something better to do like watch that new episode of Riverdale on Netflix… well duh?... What do you think we’re gonna do?

But I’ve realised not only am I wasting my time and being unproductive but it’s actually quite unhealthy and can put even more stress on myself if I’m rushing to get things done at the last minute.

When I first began my blog, I told you guys that there were a few things or habits that I wanted to change about my life (bit like a late New Year’s resolution that I came up with one day). One of them was supposed to be to procrastinate less…….. I think it’s safe to say that I have failed... MISERABLY! I’m still procrastinating all the time. And yep I said I had accumulated quite a lot of free time this year. What am I doing? Watching Jess + Gabriel Vlogs on YouTube and scrolling through Facebook. Smh.

Now seriously, I love to plan. I love buying planners and new journals where I can just write lists and set goals. Plan the “why”, “how” and “whatnot” of it all. I even love creating timetables for myself using word documents. Like I know, I’m a freak but I love it. I just never do things when I say I’m gonna do them. I can’t seem to stick to my plans. I’m terrible with commitment!

The reason why I’m writing this is not to teach anyone a lesson. To tell you the truth I told myself I needed to post a blog today but I had no idea what to write about. So, I figured well why not just write about that fact and see what happens? Now I’ve realised that the is an effort to “check myself” but whether I succeed in changing my habits is another story. I have had this conversation with myself before and I still haven’t managed to work it out.

So anyway, I think in life, particularly when you’re in school its actually not good to put things off and procrastinate because like I said its unhealthy and stressful. I’m pretty sure the way to beat procrastination habits is to first get rid of all the distractions (although all is easier said, than done). Make plans or write things down that you have to remember and then STICK TO IT! 

But goodness, what do I know? I’m the one who needs to remember this stuff still!
This is the most writing I could come up with this week. I am very sorry, I just hope I get my shit together soon! Let me know if you can relate, and if you have any tips!


Have a lovely day! xx

“You are not alone”

This post is as much for me, as it is for you. Loneliness is a very difficult feeling to navigate because you literally feel like nobody is there to help you. Loneliness is having nobody sit next to you in class. Having the teacher pick your partner because nobody will volunteer or working on your own because they’ve run out of people. Loneliness is sitting on your own at lunch when your friends aren’t at school or sitting in an isolated room because you’re too embarrassed to eat in front of other people. Loneliness is sitting in the library reading at a table on your own while everyone around you doesn’t seem to notice you sitting there at all. Loneliness is watching people laugh and joke around, wishing nothing more than to be a part of that feeling. Like when you were a kid watching from the outside of a Kids play centre. Loneliness is sitting at home scrolling through Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to see that everybody is out having a good time while you're stuck here.

“This is an issue of EQUALITY”

With the upcoming plebiscite, I think it’s only fitting that I shed some light on this issue of marriage equality. Can I just say firstly, I don’t know why it is that I feel as though (no, I know for a fact) I have written this same persuasive text more than once in both primary school and in high school, but I still find it astounding that in 2017 same sex marriage is still up for debate. What I also find absurd is that in some cases more children and young people understand the concept of equality better than most adults. Because that’s what this is all about isn’t it? I mean I’m really dumbing it down so that even the narrowest of minds can understand. This is an issue of EQUALITY. I know for a fact that most children, if not all of you, are taught values from the moment you make your very first mistakes. You are simply taught right from wrong. For example: for a long time as babies you would either point or cry whenever you wanted something, but then you would be taught ho

“I was not nervous in the slightest”

It’s been almost five months since my surgery, it feels like time has gone so fast. One minute I’m waiting for the biggest event of my life and then suddenly, it’s over and done with. Luckily, I still remember everything as if it happened yesterday. It all began on an early Tuesday morning. We were up and dressed by 7am and my parents and Rosie-Star (Harry was still asleep of course) came and drove us in. By the way; I was fasting for the operation so I didn’t get to have anything to eat or drink that morning except for a sip of water. This only bothered me for one main reason; I couldn’t have my morning cup of tea. We get there just after 8am so we had half an hour before I was due to go In. I was told that I would be the first one in the theatre that day. So, with no time to waste we caught the lift, up to the second or third floor (can’t remember that part) where the surgical clinics are. I was very surprised to see the entire waiting room was pack with families and their child
