Hey!
Recently I've been wanting to find some inspiration to blog about.
I feel like I have a lot of stuff, I would like to share with people but it's not making it a fun experience for me which is weird as I love blogging.
Recently I read Zoella's novel "Girl Online" on holiday I'm not going to go that much into it but it was about a girl with a blog and various other things, but the thing that kinda inspired me was she was herself and she went to her blog to open up and release what was on her mind and over the past couple of days I've been thinking where do I want this blog to go. I love it, I class blogging as a hobby as I see it as a different way of documenting my life instead of a video format which I would like to do in the future.
I've been on holiday for the past week in Malta with my family and I've just been thinking a lot about life, as everything seems to be going perfect, but overall I don't know where I stand within myself, I know I want to do YouTube soon and once I go onto my new media course, I hope I meet new friends who have the same interests as me and thats what I like about the internet and twitter mainly, I've met so so so many friends this past year creating that fan account and I will never regret it.
I've put myself in situations which I would of never have done if I didn't have this account on Twitter, I've met various of my friends who I met online and I am soon meeting more in September which I'm super excited for.
I recently got added to a group chat called the Chumpies for my favourite YouTuber Alfie Deyes, this group chat is based all on him we all love him equally, with other internet friends yes it is very cool they watch youtube and we can all talk about it, but to have people who are crazy and obsessed with the same person makes your life feel complete. We are so close, I can't thank them enough for inviting me into it as I feel myself and I can be myself without getting judged, I can open up when I feel down or rant when somebodys annoyed me. They are great people and I can't wait to meet them all when the day comes, the best thing about them is that out of everything I kinda faced my fear the other day, we all put a video together for Alfie 6 Year Anniversary and uploaded it to YouTube, I've forever wanted to upload a video to YouTube but for so many reasons I haven't. Our friend Cora who's in the group is an amazing editor and edited the whole thing we were so proud of her and the video overall, we shared it to Alfie and he seen it and even commented this past month has been happiness for me and the Chumpies really, we've had various dm's from Alfie and a comment on a video, all of us feel complete, the person we have been supporting for a long time actually knows we exist, we will forever support Alf and that what makes me so happy.

Like I said my life is perfect at the moment and this is probably because it's the summer holidays and I have so much stuff planned over the next month it makes me so happy turning 18 has definitely made my life so much easier and I just feel like a free person.
This blog post is probably going to be all jumbled up but I hope you can all read it the way I'm putting it, I had the best time on holiday with my family and I love when we all get together as you never know what can happen in the future, life is so unexpected and short so these gatherings are amazing.
While on holiday I met a girl who was travelling, for the past couple of years I've been wanting some inspiration or somebody to speak to about travelling so I made a conversation with her and wanted some advice on how I could start travelling.
I cant remember her name but she was lovely and she said she was working full time since she was 17 and was now 23 and she saved up 8k and she doesn't know how far it will take her but her plan is to get a job where she travels, she stays in hostels and makes friends with other travellers, it seems very realistic.
If I wanted to earn 8k I could but the thought of working where I work for years makes me want to kill myself, after this year I'm going to be lost when I finish my college course in June I need something to back me up too keep my sanity on a high.
If you don't know what my job is it is basically a press operator in a factory, we make car tools, it sounds better than what it is, in reality you split metal and place it in a machine and press a button repeatedly and do this for 8 hours, it gives you a lot of headspace and ideas I guess.
If I had to work there full time, YouTube would have to be up and running, I would have to be doing something to do with my future while I'm working there, the ideas I could get from doing it is realistic too.
All of my family work there and they all say once your in you'll never leave, this makes me ill, genuienly makes me want to cry as majority of my family have worked there butts of there for 30/40 years of there life and there happy with it, me as a person doing that for more than one year without any ambition to it would be torture I would not see the point in living.
All I've been hearing recently is how you have to work to live and you have to work for 60/70 years of your life then you retire that is what life is, 60/70 years working in that factory? What kind of a life is that, Yes you get good money but really? I feel with myself no matter how much my family don't believe in me I believe in myself and me writing this blog post, is me writing it to myself to look back on and give me inspiration to hold on and I will get to where I want to be, I just want to be in a job which provides for me and I enjoy is that much to ask for?
I just want my future to be the best it can be and day by day my condfidence is rising and once I get on this new college course it is a fresh beginning to me, I will learn how to video edit and everything, I need and want to know about media and I will start a YouTube channel and be proud of myself for building this future slowly.
This blog post was soooooooo deep, but even if anyone is reading this right now I hope it gave you bit of inspiration or made you think about your future.
Life couldn't get any better right now and I am so happy
Thanks for reading if you did?!
