Friendship?

Hello dear friends,

There are 3 rules of shopping that you must ask yourself before purchasing; "Do you really want it?" "Do you really need it?" and "Can you afford it?" If the answer is no to any of the questions than you don't buy it! I think that there should be rules, like this, for friendship. It's a tricky thing that if you don't get right, can cause a whole lot of tears. 

Recently I have learnt that you must pick wisely when it comes to your friends, because those are the people that at the end of the day have chosen to love you, not forced to, and if they don't, they're not worth it.  By simply asking yourself my 3 simple questions, you could stop yourself from trying to make something work that just isn't meant to. So here goes:

1. What do they do that makes you feel better about yourself?

2. Would they go out of their way for you?

3. Could you spend a week without talking to them, without feeling lost?

If you can't answer these questions with a meaningful answer then just let it go, you'll probably be better off without them. 
I found a quote the other day, that really opened my eyes to who I should be surrounding myself with; 

"Don't Dwell on those who let you down, Cherish those who hold you up."

I really hope that you are happy and have in someway benefited from my 3 simple questions.

International Day of Happiness

Good evening, 

Happiness, I think, makes the world go round. I asked my friends recently whether they think I'm a smiley person, the verdict was YES! I want to put a smile on someone's face everyday and I believe that I do. For some reason people find me funny, but I'm not sure whether they laugh with me or at me... but either way I make them smile. 

International Day of Happiness is coming up and I wanted to write about the little things in my life that make me happy, and maybe it would jog your memory as to what makes you happy. 

I never intended to be someone who thought that the internet was their happy place, and I don't think that it is, but writing, here on this blog, brings a smile to my face and I don't care that only a very, very small amount of people read it. I love the creativeness of sitting at my laptop and just trying, I never re-read any of my writing before it's finished, and I love that that I can hear it all in my mind and most often than not I'm speaking as I type. I love it and thank you for allowing me to do this, before I was just a bored teenager. 

MUSIC! It always brings, without fail, a smile to face. Not just because I enjoy listening to it but how much fun the artist must of had, I want to be able, one day, to find that kind of joy out of making my own music, but I am afraid of failure, much like everyone else. I strongly believe that music has a power, I wrote a whole post in it so go head and check it out!



Holidays. I love travelling and I want more than anything to travel the world. Holidays are the times that I spend with my family, yes, after six weeks I can't wait to get away from them, but I love them to bits and I'm scared of the day that I move out... I'm on my own then. Anyway for the time being I'm just going to savour what time I have with them. 


Summer, I know it's a cliche but sunsets, and warm days they just make me happy. Not only do I love the weather but the season just allows for so many more things to happen - days out to the beach with friends or an evening walk with the dog. 

I wanted to just remind myself that I have so many things that I'm grateful for and so many things that I didn't even realise make me happy. Please tell me the little things in your life that make you happy.

A mini project

Good evening dear readers, 

Can you feel its nearly spring? I've been waiting and waiting, I am so bored of the english weather! 

There's just something about the summer that instantly lightens my mood. My friends agree, I'm definitely happier during the summer months!

My friends are the only people that I can truly trust and I love them dearly, I have to say they do get on my nerves sometimes but I love them all the same. I think that without them, I'd be a different person. They know what mood I'm in the second they see me and I can do the same for them. It's funny when you think about it, that you can know someone so well that you know how to behave around them. I love my girlie sleepovers, after them I feel refreshed and that I can go on another week! 

Time eventually will break us apart but for the time being I am going to savour ever moment that we have together. For instance as the warmer days are fast approaching I have set myself some spring/summer goals:

1. Do more, go places, see different things.
2. Take more pictures. 
3. Make a scrapbook.
4. Be outside and enjoy it! 
5. Try not to do nothing! 

A scrapbook. A simple idea that will protect your memories forever. My best friend and I are going to give each other a scrapbook and try to fill it by the end of the summer. As I go away for the summer with my family, we thought that it will mean that we don't miss a single moment together. When we come together at the end of the summer, we will reminisce over the events of the summer. 
I love the idea of taking a picture every day, no matter what it is, just to capture a moment but I mean who can actually remember to pick up the camera as you rush out of the door! 

I'm going to start this mini project on the 1st April, so during Easter. I'm not sure if I'll manage to complete it but it's worth a try! 

Floss xoxo
