The Eugh days!
Heya,
Sorry there wasn't any content yesterday but have been trying to cram a week worths of homework into a few days!!!! We can just imagine this!!
Today I want to have a little chat about my day....maybe yours too! It was one of THOSE days!! I woke up and thought 'NOOOOOOOO'. No one wants to admit they have these days because they aren't glamorous or productive! (Tell me you guys have them too!!)
So why didn't I want to face today well: I am a teenage girl (to be honest this explains all!!), I have to go back to school in a few days and I have more homework than I wanted to!!
So my day consisted of eating a massive bag of crisps in bed, writing an English essay, doing half a maths paper, watching Homeland (Its on Netflix and I LOVE it!!!) I am not ashamed to admit I didn't get up until 5 to six....no shame!!!
What should I have done today....force myself out of bed run to the gym and sit at my desk and work. Was this EVER going to happen....Duh No!!
Here's some ideas that is somewhere in between rotting in bed all day and running to the gym!!
Go for a walk, this time of year is stunning. You you can get creative with photography or pick little souvenirs. Garuntee you will feel a bit more productive after This!
That's right the good old pamper yourself!! Light those candles and chill oout.....okay Not so great if you need to get stuff done but if you have a free day, whats better!!
Hug a teddy bear...if you really can't get yourself out of bed switch some fairy lights on and make yourself feel like a princess.
Who doesn't love a good book? REEEAAAAD!! Don't just rely on Netflix pic up your ultimate fav book ('I see you' is SHAMAZING')
Eat and drink healthily. Only one sneaky bar of chocolate if you must!! (I actually hate bananas!! Don't eat food you hate!!)
Did I do these things .....no! Should I hhave.....yeah probably! Do what I say not what I do!!

Taking advantage
Heya,
I am going to have a little rant because what I have just witnessed angers me immensely. I'm sure all of you reading this are good people, I hope you are. After reading this please phone your gran, grandad, elderly neighbour and keep them safe.
A man has just phoned my nan claiming to be from a company that talk talk employ and is going to help fix her emails. Now my nan has been having trouble with her emails and needed to access them to receive possible bad news. He took advantage of her lack of knowledge around technology and gained access to her computer.
After realising what was happening I quickly put a stop to it and my nan passed me the phone and I wasn't having it!
My nan is now worried about her privacy and online safety and she shouldn't have to be because people like this should not be allowed to get away with it.
Please talk to those around you. Tell them the warning signs.
Thank you (Ok rant over!)

Hero's of the streets
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for the massive response, it is incredible and far more than I expected. This morning I have something I want to talk about so here is the first post of many...
Homeless war veterans they deserve so much more than they receive, from the public and government.
Take a moment, I want you to picture yourself, your partner, children, parents, friends.
You are deployed to Afghanistan leaving everyone you love behind but you smile as you leave to represent your country and help those in desperate need. In Afghanistan you kill many men, you loose your best friends, you see the death of children, you see fear in their eyes. Whilst you are fighting for what you know is right you receive the new your mother has passed away; her funeral was yesterday. You have no time to mourn your own loss, besides it can't be true can it?
Every day is a struggle but there are many moments when you couldn't imagine being with anyone than your fellow soldiers. They are family. When bombs explode and shots are fired they feel it too, they know the adrenaline rush that propels you forward.
The day comes when you are told you can return home and it seems like the best day of your life, it probably is as when you step off that plane back onto English soil your life has changed forever:
You are allowed to stay with your brother for a bit whilst you adjust back to civilian life but the trauma you have experienced never goes away and you are eventually diagnosed with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). You scream in the night, lash out sometimes and your brother no longer wants you in the house because your behaviour upsets his daughter.
You end up on the streets.
No one would want this, no one should be homeless but war veterans have fought for our lives and others and are forced to live in shop doorways, under card board boxes battling the elements. You may here the word homeless and associate it with other derogatory terms and actions that people take such as becoming alcohol or drug dependant. For some this is the case for others it isn't, just the same as it is for some who live in a house, flat, bungalow.
Next time you see someone homeless, try to give what you can. A muffin, some money, hat or scarf. Remember they are people and should be treated with the dignity they deserve. They aren't just littering the streets the sad truth is many of them are actually war heroes. Okay you may not be able to change their world but you can certainly help them have a day that is tiny bit more bearable.
Please lets break these stereotypes and help the homeless.

'How do they have money to buy cigarettes?' A question many ask but if a person wants to buy them with their money as a stress relief as something to subdue the starvation they are free to do so.

Take a chance and make a change!
Hi,
I guess that is the best way to start, I have been one of these people who disagree with things in the world but let it carry on, I don't want to be that person anymore. I am taking a chance and trying to make a change. Okay maybe no one will read this! But who cares at least it is out there for people to see.
This blog has been a figment of my imagination for months but I have not had the balls to do it. Today a small comment something that I have heard over a million times ''Go kill yourself " was left on a young boys YouTube video and I knew I could not let it go anymore.
This is my place to rant, tell you about my life, my journey. The highs and the lows but most of all I want to share my views. Make people question themselves. There may be no right or wrong. Together let's try and change the world.
