It is true that appearance isn't what is important and that it is inner beauty that counts. That being said, we cannot deny that as a society we do focus on appearance and we all care about how we look to an extent. Taking time to look put together can help you feel put together - how you look can impact how you feel.
Dear reader,
Most of us want direction. Sometimes we want to have everything worked out, but we can't because life is unpredictable.
I came up with this idea to hopefully bring some comfort to someone, put a smile on their face or be a small act of kindness that they might need on a bad day. The idea is that I write a series of letters/ notes anonymously to help lift spirits and make people feel less alone. We aren't always as honest and open with more difficult and negative feelings, which can leave us feeling lonely - I wanted to create a space that was truthful to more negative feelings we can all sometimes experience, yet bought some hope. A place that could be a safe haven or a little pick me up for people when they need it (including me).
Social media. Incredible in so many different ways. It's a way of spreading love, positivity, connecting with people, awareness, helping out others and keeping in touch with people. But, sometimes it does the opposite - it can be negative, draining, can make you miserable and is something time consuming that leaves you feeling empty.
There are different sides to us all - but does anyone see all of them?
I always really enjoy reading people's end of year posts and what they have learnt from that year. 2017 has been a pretty good year overall for me. But the end has not been quite the way I would have liked and I'm ready for a new beginning. New year- a new start and a fresh slate. Here are things to take away from 2017... This is what I learnt.
Confidence and who you are- the answer so many people look for. Maybe it would be easier if we just start by accepting the fact that no one has exactly pinpointed who they are and we are consistently growing and learning new things about ourselves. Don't be harsh on yourself because you don't have everything figured out. Life is unpredictable and the truth is no one does...
