Adulthood and blogging (??!)

Later this year, in about 3 weeks time in fact, I will be turning 22 years old.

That sounds totally crazy to me. In my head, I'm quite sure I'm still about 16. My youngest sister is just choosing which GCSEs she wants to take and it doesn't feel like very long ago that I had to do that - I remember it so clearly!

But, with this new year, I am going to make some changes in my life.


I love the idea of new starts and making a change, but I've never been great with New Year's resolutions. I find January and February really hard months, and definitely not the time to be starting new things or going outside of my comfort zone. So I'm going to start in April (on my birthday)*, when I feel naturally a bit brighter and there's less pressure to become a "better you". New year of my life, new me... or at least, a new approach to being me.

*after this post, obviously!

Starting this blog is one of those new things.

I've toyed with the idea of writing a blog for ages, as I love talking and writing and thinking about whatever comes into my mind. This will be an outlet for that, but also somewhere to track my progress (or lack of it) in the next stage of my life (scary!). I actually had a blog last year, but never published any of the posts I wrote (for various reasons - maybe more on this later).

Since graduating from university, I have worked at a Summer Camp in Surrey and also interned at an Ed-Tech company in London. I'm not sure what I want to do or what my next steps are, and I hope that writing it all down will help me figure some things out.

I'm honestly not entirely sure what the content will be - probably a mixture of the things I'm doing, clothes I'm loving, music and books I'm enjoying, places I'm going, life crises, and more. But right now that doesn't matter to me so much, this is a creative outlet for myself - who knows if anyone will even read it.

So, to whoever you are (if there is anyone there) and to myself... here goes!
