Evening all!
Since I’ve started blogging I absolutely love nothing more than to discuss and rant on about my outfits and what I’m adoring at the moment it’s my favourite past time and I’ve developed so much with a lot more confidence than I had before with it all. However there is a little thought that keeps popping up in the back of my brain with a growing urge to just write about things in my own life outside of the fashion world. These include things I’m loving and also things I’m hating which weirdly seems to be easier to write about…. So there you go for the first time there will be a real life opinions, feelings, pet peeving post going live and I’m ready.
I think this feeling has built up over the past few weeks if I’m honest and these are my thoughts nothing else.
PEOPLE! There just seems to be an array of rude PEOPLE this week. As a PERSON, manners don’t cost a thing and that’s a massive pet peeve of mine. I was brought up with values and to be kind always be kind however some people seem to be testing my patience. It’s so easy to not step into other people’s shoes and to just judge, but just think about it for a minute ‘what would that person do?‘ What I’m trying to say is there does not seem to be any etiquette anymore and I feel people can treat me how they want to and I’ve been nice enough to just let it bide for a long long time. Something my mom taught me as a youngster was to ‘treat others how they treat you‘ something I never understood until my 20’s really. I completely understand it now, to earn respect you need to give respect. Act nicely and the hope that something good will come your way is applied. I think reaching the age of 25 has been a turning point for me and although it may seem silly and there’s a lot of negative thoughts, the naiveness has gone. I’ve wised up and I’m thankful that 25 has given me that new lease of character. I will now admit my biggest weakness is people pleasing. Something I’ve tried hard not to do and it’s difficult I will say that much. If it loses me friends or family so be it! Aslong as I’m happy that’s the main thing. Friends or family who don’t check in on you are a loss physically but a massive gain mentally in my eyes. I think I’m not the only one to agree that you do lose friends when you get older but the quality of the ones who stay outweighs it all. After all most only really keep you on social media or in distant contact to try and compete with you which isn’t a life at all quite frankly. I’m an honest person I always have been. Everything is very black and white for me, blunt, or whatever you want to call it. That isn’t a trait I built myself it’s how I grew up my parents are the same, my grandparents were and they all got far in life. What I’m trying to say is the cliche not to compare your chapter 1 with someone’s Lord of the Rings style trilogy. It’s not a race every person is different and we should be sharing life and not competing or side eye judging. You don’t know what someone has or is going through. Some people like myself find it hard to break that comfort zone another bad trait of mine. I struggle mentally to start something new the fear of the unknown maybe?
I know it’s all been quite real what I’ve said so far and maybe a bit shocking to those who know me that I’ve said this but it’s my opinion and my words that I’ve needed to say for some time, simply because I’ve kept my mouth and opinions quiet for sooo long, this is my haven and place I feel most comfortable to express my words. I am a very grateful girl for who is in my life now, I have amazing parents who have supported me no end and I will be forever grateful, a perfect boyfriend who I’m building a future together with, amazing set of close friends who understand everything.
I don’t need to prove anything to anyone else but myself on what I can do and each step i take is a personal accomplishment to me, might not seem like much but it works and that’s how I like it!
Ain’t gonna lie it took some balls to post this so yeah enjoy lovely readers
