A small plea!

Dear my gorgeous readers,

I'm now in a bid to make my blog bigger and better than ever! I'm trying to get as many readers and followers as possible and take it all to the next level! I'm also looking to find out more about who reads my blog and read your blogs too! So I ask that if you do read my blog on a regular basis that you become a follower and if you like my blog please recommend it to friends and family! I would appreciate it so much!

Thank you for you time,

Summer 2011 part two.

Dear my loyal readers. My summer is slowly drawing to a close, I have around 5 weeks left at home until everything changes and I leave. But this post isn't about my future, it's about what i've learnt from my past. 

I told you in my last post about my plans for the summer, about my fight to make sure I make the most of those 3 months. I wanted to sort out bits and pieces of my life and belongings to make sure i'm ready for my next chapter. Lesson number 1 - Nothing goes according to plan. My room is still a tip, nothing is sorted out and i'm not a step closer to sorting my life out. I like to think of this as a work in progress... Truth be told I just haven't found the time. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing but there you have it. 

I said yes to a lot of things this summer, which has lead me to many opportunities and got me to see and do so many things. It really does make you live just that little bit extra. I've partied 7 days straight. I have seen the sun rise 4 times with out any sleep. I have watched the most amazing sunset. I have camped in the pouring rain. I have met the most amazing people and I have also met some complete dicks. I've faced one of my biggest fears and i've helped someone fight theres. I've spent time with family and friends. I've had the most amazing days that i'm so happy i could sing. I've had the worst days where I just want to be alone and cry. I've done a lot this summer. I've learnt a lot about myself. Thats one of the good things about being human, you never stop learning things. About yourself. About the world around you. 

The biggest thing that I have learnt this summer is that you can travel the world and visit a million difference places. You can submerge yourself in work and have no free time. You can cancel all your plans and have all the free time in the world. You can shut your self away. You can completely sort out your life or you can leave it mess. You can try and put yourself thousands of miles away from everyone or stay right next to them. But you can never run away from your feelings. You can't distant yourself from the truth. 

Travelling the world is only for those who want to run towards new life, not run away from old ones. 

The truth is, this summer I have learnt that you have to make peace with things in your own way before you can truly move on. You can't search for the answer miles away because truth is ALWAYS closer than you think. You can't pretend everything is okay when it's not because at one point in your life you'll look back and regret being unhappy, you'll regret not speaking up and always wondering 'what if'. Life is too short to have regrets. 

If your not happy, sort out the problem. Then do things that make you happy. Simple. 

I hope you all have had a good summer so far. Look after yourselves <3
