Hey guys,

I have had trouble posting over the past month and a half and I am not entirely sure why. I know that I originally was drowning under a mountain of uni work, which happens at the end of a semester. But I just felt like I was drowning in every aspect of life. I went on my holidays, but then it still felt like I was stuck.

I spent six weeks working and trying to figure out what was stopping from blogging and from doing many other things. And if I am totally honest with you, I am still not sure what that road block was exactly.

But I somehow I have moved past that road block and am now able to function to the rate that I was before. 

I am back.

Hopefully.

I have a few blog posts that I want to put up, a few things that I actually did over my holidays, when I wasn't working. I am now back at uni, and hopefully the drowning feeling won't appear again anytime soon.

I plan on catching up on all the missed time that I spent not blogging over the past month.

I love you all.

2014 rewind.

So I know that it is already almost a week into 2015 and that this post is a little later than I originally wanted it to be, but it is still here. I haven't quite fathomed that 2014 is over and that a new year has started. So before I got into 2015 related things I wanted to remember some of the good times that I have had in the crazy year that has just passed.

2014 was a crazy year for me. I finally pushed myself out of my comfort zone and did something I never thought I would have the courage to do. 

I moved states and went to University. Two ideas that would have seemed farfetched to me only a year earlier. I took a flying leap at change and came out the other side happy with my choices and with the grand decisions I had made.

I got to experience a ton of new things and create memories with new friends. I also met some amazing new people and had a blast getting to know them.

I also created new and amazing memories with old friends, joy filled moments in time, in which I was surrounded by people who I love. These small moments that I got to spend with them, made the moments I was at home, fun.

My sense of adventure got a huge kick and I allowed myself to see new things and explore new places. Finding new things in old places or just plane new things in new places. I took more chances to find and discover those things. 

So with 2014 having come to an end I can say that this year has been one of the best so far. I am so grateful for the new and old friends in my life, for the new and exciting adventures and for taking a huge, life changing, chance. 

I hope everyone had a good 2014, a good new year and that 2015 brings on bigger and better things for each and every one of you.

Happy New Year

A Restless Soul.

Hey guys,

I am finding now that I am growing up that I have a restless soul. I feel the constant need to do things and move around and be out and about. I feel as if just sitting in one place for to long makes me bored and fidgety, like I crave being in the move and doing things. 

I'm not sure if this is mean't to be a part of growing up, the constant need for movement and adventure, but it is a feeling that I quite enjoy. 

My adventurous mind is growing wild and the fire in my heart yearns for something more. More adventure, more travel and more creative things to feed it. 

My younger self used to be afraid of such change and hid away from anything that could throw off the balance and comfort of a life I had grown accustomed to. But now it shines at the idea. And now I know that I truly have changed since I am accepting these parts of my life. I look back now, in wonder, at a person who dealt with thing differently and couldn't handle change. It amazing how much one person can grow in just a year. 

With 2014 coming to an end I can say that I have achieved may things that I never would have dreamed of. From taking a gigantic and crazy change that moved me away from my comfort zone. To the smaller things, like trying out new things that I would have dreaded before.

This restless soul of mine is finally falling into place.

How has this year changed you?

What have you done that you never would have dreamed of doing in the past?

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. See you soon.

Prove them wrong.

Hey guys,

So recently I have been thinking about all the people who have told me in the past that I can't do the certain things that I want to do in my life. When I have my low days, the voices of these people seem to creep back in and play with my insecurities and make me question my life choices.

I have never really know how to block these voices out and how to think positively when they become the main track of thought in my mind.

But I have started to come to the conclusion that these people don't matter and that I shouldn't be listening or remembering those words that have tried to shut down my dreams and goals for myself. It does become difficult when there are people around you that don't believe in you. It can be very draining and you start to question everything.

It's time to start proving them wrong. If someone tells you you can't show them that you can. Fight for what you believe in and fight for your dreams. They don't control you or your dreams so prove to them that you can do it. That you can make it.

The people that have told me that I can't do what I want to do with my life have, in the past, made me feel like crap. Have made me want to give up. To stop trying. But proving them wrong is so much more powerful, it's your greatest weapon against them.

I plan on proving them wrong and fighting them every step of the way. And one day they will realise that I am much stronger than they thought I was. 

I want you to join me. If anyone has ever put you down and told you you can't do something, work towards proving them wrong. If you try hard enough you can make your dreams come true, no matter what anyone else says.

March matters.

Hey guys,

Sorry it's been a while, things have been a bit crazy and I haven't had much time to just sit down and write anything other than school work. But I am taking this time now to do some house keeping for March. I have a few ideas and things that I hope to blog this month. So I am going to try harder.

1. Blog more

At the beginning of the year I promised myself that I would blog more and that hasn't quite happened yet, so now is as good as anytime to fix that. I plan on blogging a tone more from here on out, no matter what it is about.

2. Notice the ground you walk on

This month I will have been taking a photo everyday of the ground beneath my feet. This was a little challenge I set myself, so at the end of this month I will be making a post with all of those pictures. So that should be 31 days worth of pictures. I would like to do something like this every month, I will just have to figure out a topic every month.

3. Adventure more

I haven't really had a chance top do much wondering since moving here, so I hope that I get that chance soon. When that happens I hope to share it with you guys.

4. Work hard

I never had a good ethic towards learning at high school, so I hope to change that here. I haven't let myself slip behind just yet, So heres hoping that doesn't change. I plan on working my butt off through the next three years of my study. So fingers crossed.

5. Be healthy

Here's another thing I have never been particularly good at, so I plan on changing that.

6. Say yes

This ties in with the adventure more rule. I usually say no to a lot of things, it's just the way I have always been, but the time has come to change that. I am going to push myself into say yes to more things. So I get the chance to experience more things.

So there are a few goals I hope to work towards this month/year.

Project 2014

Hey guys,

So 2014 is well on it's way, we are almost at the end of January and that means that we are one month down. I am aiming to use 2014 as a year to change my life, throw in new things and put myself in new situations. This also means starting new projects and doing things that make me happy and mean that I don't spend all my free time sitting around on my laptop (which I happen to be doing now, but with a purpose).

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed this book everywhere and it made me curious. It wasn't until I was watching my daily dose of YouTube that I got a good explanation for what is was, thanks to YouTuber Grav3yardgirl, that made me really want to give it a try.

So my first project for the year is the 'Wreck This Journal' by Keri Smith.

I am hoping that this will help me be more creative this year. I have always had a large imagination and I need to start finding outlets for some of the creativity that comes from my imagination, so I plan on using this for that. I also plan to share some of these pages with you guys, maybe a weekly or month update of sorts, but I don't even know yet.

I am hoping that I can also find out more about myself, you never know what will come out until you are given a task to really think about it. This year will be one of creativeness for me, as I need to start moving away from the place I have found myself stuck in since I left high school. 

I already have some big plans ahead for this year (including 'moving' to a new city for a majority of the year) and hope that I can broaden my horizons, for myself and for this blog. I also have a pile of new ideas for this blog that will vary hugely from last year. I also plan on blogging more as I find it relaxing to just write stuff out and send it into cyber space for people to stumble across, so hopefully this will all go down smoothly. 

I do hope to blog more frequently, although towards the end of next month it might be a challenge with the massive change that will be happening, but I hope that I get to share it with you guys and whomever stumbles down this rabbit hole.

I hope that you all have a splendid week, see you soon.

Change it up for 2014.

Hey guys,

So we are a good two weeks into 2014 and I thought I would write about change. I know that recently I have felt like I have been going through the same motions since I left high school three years ago, and I fell that 2014 is going to be a big year of change. Whilst almost every year my new years resolution has been to make the year ahead different, I think is well past time to actually do something about the subject. 

Found on pintrest.

I think that I have always perceived change as a bad thing. And I know I am not the only person who does the exact same thing. But a lot of the time it is viewed as something that you should approach slowly and with caution, or sometimes, not even at all. But now that I am finally getting used to the fact that the world isn't easy, I am beginning to realise that change may not be as bad as I always thought. 

Change can come in many forms, whether it's changing your hair, or moving to a new place, it always lies around the corner. you just have to make the choice that leads to the change. That leads to a new place for you to inhabit. It starts with dreams and ideas, that you just have to be willing enough to follow.

Found on pintrest.

So 2014 should be the year you make a change for yourself. Say yes to more things, do stuff you would normal avoid, explore the world more (it can be a fairly fascinating place) and find a sense of adventure.

So now that 2014 is here, I will be making changes. Some will be big and some will be smaller. And I encourage everyone to do the same. Don't let life get repetitive, mix it up a little.

I hope that I get to share my changes with you all.
