For the longest time, I have always felt the pressure to find a boyfriend. Through societies standards having a partner must mean that you are beautiful and valued (which is a load of crap). I always struggled with this growing up. All through high school and college and the start of uni, I thought thereContinue reading “Me, myself and I”

Stress and What If’s
Today, my lecturer said to us “98% of the things you stress about never even happen”. To be honest I think he just made up that statistic but I found it….. interesting. At first I though ‘that can not be true’ because I was almost certain that the things I worry about do happen. ButContinue reading “Stress and What If’s”
New Years can be hard
Now we are at the end of 2019 and we are all about to start 2020 and another decade. But the changing of the years isn’t always easy. I really hate New Years eve. For me, I dont enjoy celebrating the changing of the years, I dont like drinking and clubbing and I dont likeContinue reading “New Years can be hard”
“It can’t get worse”
I hate the saying, it can’t get worse, because these past few weeks have shown me, that it can in fact get worse and as a result, I’m writing this in a very dark place. When I started this blog, I knew I wanted to be completely transparent and post how I feel so othersContinue reading ““It can’t get worse””
Being thankful, even when you aren’t
Trying to say ‘thank you’ to the world when all your sadness can see is everything you don’t have or everything you have lost is a very hard thing to do. When I feel like I am at such a low point and in such a sad mood, I never stop and think about thingsContinue reading “Being thankful, even when you aren’t”
Being ignorant on social media
The saying ‘ignorance is bliss’ is very common. It’s very similar to ‘out of sight, out of mind’. But some people take it out of context and quiet literally bury their head in the sand rather than accept what’s happening. The context in which I’m talking about being ignorant is in the terms of socialContinue reading “Being ignorant on social media”
Pleasing People.
(I wrote this a few weeks ago but still thought I would share. Hope you all enjoy!) Pleasing people is a very small act. It can be as much as holding the door open for them or giving them a smile. But for ‘people pleasers’ like me, it’s very hard to have someone not likeContinue reading “Pleasing People.”
Anxiety. Wow.
For my first official blog post I thought I would talk about something that is the main problem in my life. Anxiety. It’s such a big word and such a generalised term today. People often say, ‘I feel so anxious’ or ‘that gives me anxiety’ and I always wonder if those words mean the sameContinue reading “Anxiety. Wow.”
A little bit about me.
Hi. My name is Fay and I’m 19 years old. I have recently just started my second year of uni. I have been looking to start a blog for over a year now but never felt that I had anything worth saying that hadn’t already been said. However, the more I thought about it, theContinue reading “A little bit about me.”
