A New Chapter

So it's been a long few months...my bad. So much has happened, I've completed GCSE's, celebrated a year with my bae, started a new school, had an amazing summer, had a birthday (can someone say hello driving!) and I've had some time to think over things a kinda start a-fresh in terms of blogging.

Getting more onto the topic of this post, I'm starting a new chapter in my life, I've started working towards A-Levels, for those who don't know, they are qualifications that are required to get into a university/college, and it's currently very overwhelming, I mean, I don't consider myself as an almost adult and it's weird to think I'll be looking at uni's soon, but I thought I would try and post more. Mainly because I think it would help in terms of my English Language and it just gives me something to do, I'll be honest I did enjoy planning out what to write and just be myself and feel like I'm talking to someone even if I'm not.

So yeah that's my plan!

See ya later!

Bring Me Sunshine

Hey guys, so a little impromptu post today, I'm not in my usual set up, slumped over a laptop in my bedroom in pj's, I'm somewhere else, still in pj's though! And I've been sitting and thinking, while waiting for my turn to have a bath :p and I've been thinking about some things that I haven't thought about in a while, nothing bad or anything, but how grateful I am to have the life that I do. I'm forever complaining about things going on in my life and how I wish it could be different, but actually, if I didn't have this life then I wouldn't be me and I've been thinking about all the positive things about my life and it's made me realise how many people take life for granted, sometimes you just need to sit down and take in all the beautiful things around you.
For example, I'm sitting in my pj's in one of my favourite places in the world and I feel very happy, I feel like all my worries and stresses can just float away. I like it. I can't explain how I'm feeling, I just feel like where I am now makes me so happy, plus I can hear Ed Sheeran being sung from said bath I'm waiting for.
I guess the long-winded point to this is, despite the bad things in life, there are many lovely things to life, at least I think so anyway.

See ya soon!

A Special Occasion...

Hey guys, so there's something that I've kept quite secret from you all for a while. Let's go on a little journey back in time, let's go back to July last year. The 6th July to be exact.
You're probably wondering what significance this date has, well something very important happened on that very day, 7 months ago today I started dating the most amazing person I think I've ever met. Now I know that this is going to be cheesy but sometimes you gotta release your inner cheese :p 
This boy has helped me through so much and has made me so unbelievably happy, I don't have the words to describe how I feel but I honestly love him to pieces.
To me 7 months seems a really long time, I'mma be honest with you, this is my longest relationship and I am so grateful to have spent these past months with him.
So here's where it gets a little more cheesy ;)
Dear my lovely Algie,
Thank you so much for all your love and support, I know I'm not the easiest of people nor am I the most normal either, I love you very much :)
Love Charlotte xx

That's all today folks :) hope I have cringed you out, until next time...

See ya soon!

Love Yourself

Hey guys, I know I said I wouldn't make a regular thing out of this but I have a point that I REALLY need to make.

So during morning assembly today my Italian teacher was given the task of talking to my entire year. Now to be honest, had that been me in her situation, my year is probably the worst to talk to, no-one listens and very few people show consideration. But she presented her assembly anyway.

There is a point as to why I'm telling you about this. You see, I don't get inspired very easily, but what she had to say really made me think about what she said and has honestly quite inspired me. 

It started with her being blunt and explaining that she's nervous about public speaking, she also went on to say she was going to be a bit personal with us. To be honest I thought it would just be like any other teacher speech. Needless to say I was wrong, she started by talking about the position her life was in now, how she has really turned it around and is in a much better place. She then began to talk about when she was around our age, she was completely honest with us, I won't say what she said because it's not my place to share it. Basically she was saying how she was in a really dark place and she was so unhappy with herself as a person.

What inspired me was that she found something she was passionate about and began to learn to love herself how she was, not changing herself. It made me really relate to her because I have been in situations similar and being able to hear that with a little help and just learning self love, self confidence and just believing you can do things, made me just feel so much better, I was nearly in tears, it just really made an impact on me.

What I'm trying to say is no matter what people say, you're a beautiful human being, you're amazing, if you have a positive outcome on life then chances are you'll enjoy life a lot more. Thank you for just reading through this, I may not have made sense but I wanted to share with you something that I find helpful and inspiring in an attempt to maybe help some of you.

See ya soon!

It's Okay to Ask For Help

Hey guys, so this is my first proper time writing something like this that's somewhat more serious in comparison to what I normally write and I would normally not put this up but due to some recent things I kinda just want to get it off my chest.

I'm not going to act like I'm the only one who ever gets those moments where things just weigh down on you and make you feel really horrible, and I'm not the only one who feels like they can't ask for help because they don't want to burden people. Guilty.

As much as I am probably being very hypocritical right now, I'm trying to take my own advice from now on. The point of this post is just for me to say that it's okay if you can't do things on your own all the time, it's okay to go to someone and ask them to help, it doesn't have to be with any problems, even if it's just help with school, people, finding something, anything. There's always going to be someone that is willing to help you, there'll always be someone you can trust and know that they will be there. It is okay if you need to ask for help. Don't run from problems and hope that putting them in the back of your mind will solve it, trust me it doesn't help in the slightest. 

Just ask yourself what's the worst that can happen by asking for help? 

Anyway as I said, I don't really do this, it's new to me, I won't make a regular thing out of it, it's just been wandering round my head for a while.

See ya soon!

5 Halloween Ideas

Hey guys, so as you know halloween is rapidly approaching and I don't know about you but I personally love halloween. Not because I like scaring people or anything. I just think it's kind of fun to do with a group of friends or your partner. 

The purpose of today's little post is not only to give you guys some inspiration on halloween costumes if you're at a dead end, but to also give me some inspiration because quite frankly I got nothing, not a single burst of thought in my head. Without further ado, let's begin!

1. First up we have...The Corpse Bride, now I personally think this is such a cool idea. You can just have fun with it and make it as over the top, or as normal, as you want.

2. Next, for a group of people, we have...Ghostbusters, I loved Ghostbusters and I just think this whole idea is just incredibly fun and great to do with friends. 

3. A little bit of a weird one but if you and your boyfriend/girlfriend are stuck for ideas, why not go as characters from Alice and Wonderland, I mean, why not? Just have a little fun with it!

4. Now this may not be for everyone but if you are really and truly stuck, why not just do the simple thing and cover yourself with a white sheet? Instant ghost costume.

5. Final one, everyone needs to be a Disney character, relive your childhood favourite, go on...do it!

That's it guys! I hope you now feel inspired, I will no doubt be sharing with you what I (and a possible surprise guest) might be doing for halloween so until then...

See ya soon!

My Goals for the End of the Year

Hey guys, so I think I've done this before but to be honest with you they only a few weeks.

I was thinking, seeing as I've got a difficult few months coming up, that I wanted to set myself some things to do for the end of the year so I have something to look back on and think yeah I did that, I'm proud of myself.

Soooooooo what I'mma gon' do iiiiiis:

Start allowing more time for revision and start making mini schedules for when I get home,

Work a bit harder with my saxophone for my exam,

Not leave things to the last minute (not that I do that ;p)

Start drawing a lot more and being more musical,

Now for the one that I say every single time: I'm going to write one nice thing about myself each day for the rest of the year because I wanna be positive :)

I'm going to be starting these over the next week so I will most probably post little updates if and when I remember to.

I will certainly post little snippits of my positive comments here and there because that is the main thing that I really want to work on. So stay tuuuuuned chickens :D

See ya soon!
