Oh Wow. I would never have thought that I had come this far in 6 months. I didn’t think that my blog would be anything like it is today! I have worked with several companies, different bloggers to improve my blog and at the end of last month I started writing for two other websites to gain a bit of experience in different kinds of writing.

Blogging has really opened up a whole new world to me, I have been able to do things that never would have happened if I hadn’t started blogging and I’ve shared a journey with people that I never thought I would do.

It sounds really cringe but I’m quite proud of myself, I have my own little space that I can do absolutely anything with! I am completely dedicated to this (as you can see) and a lot of the time that isn’t always the case. I mean there aren’t many things that I have managed to self motivate myself to keep it going and achieve something, but here I have! And it feels pretty damn great.

If I could list everything I wanted to do with my blog we’d probably be here until next year, so to avoid boring you to death, I’m going to share my top 3 that I hope to achieve in the next 6 months by which time it will be a whole year of blogging!

I want to seriously improve my photography skills (they are absolutely shocking right now)

I want to learn a bit more about designing so that I can change my blog to how I want it

Which leads on to…

I want to learn how to code and to some HTML, this seems pretty key with designing and even in basic writing

For me, this would really improve my blog and take it to the next level in the way that I want it to.

And Breathe…

I’ve struggled quite a lot the past few weeks. I originally wanted to write a post about gaining confidence, and I will eventually, but whenever I sat down to write it, I just started feeling worse or would end up crying. Now that isn’t how I want to feel every time I sit down to write.

So I thought I would put that post on hold and do something a bit different! It’s been a tough few weeks that came as a huge shock. Not getting a student loan is absolutely horrible! And I honestly don’t know how people afford to live when they don’t earn thousands a month! Who knew there were so many bills to pay?

I am still trying to get my head around all of this and working out a lot of things but blogging has actually been my escape, I’ve written up a whole month of blog posts!

Only the other day did I manage to calm down, I was crying uncontrollably for no reason and I have no reason to worry about certain things because my family are so great and supportive. I snapped out of it, sat down, read through blogs that helped me think a little more positively. Then I did writing for my own blog.

It helps to take a step back sometimes, when things feel like they’re going wrong, just sit down with a cup of tea and take 5 minutes for you. It can make the world of difference and I think everyone should do it more often!
