Anyway, I wore double denim the other day and I didn’t hate it? The jeans were a bit baggy towards the bottom so it felt like a really comfortable jumpsuit 👖

At the end of October I was made redundant from my At the end of October I was made redundant from my job in marketing. I've been working in the industry for over 8 years and I absolutely love it, but that job and my incredibly toxic manager really made me begin to feel like it wasn't for me anymore. 

Since being furloughed anyway, my mind constantly flitted between going back after having Casey or completely changing careers and doing what I had originally planned on doing before I fell pregnant with Isla - and that was teaching.

I felt like being made redundant was just a sign; the push I needed to just apply and just before Christmas, I was accepted into both of the courses I applied to.
Looking back now, I cringe because I was offered a place on the course on my Zoom interview and I promptly burst into tears hahaha, but I wanted it so badly and I'm so proud that I managed to do it.

I've been volunteering in a Year 2 class for the last two Thursdays and will be continuing to do so until they get sick of me tbh, but I'm loving it!

My Primary teaching course starts in September, for a year and although I am so, so nervous, and SO aware that it's going to be ridiculously intense, I'm excited and really looking forward to good change. ✨
looking forward to the day when it's warm enough t looking forward to the day when it's warm enough to wear dresses in our gardens. 🌚🌼

tw: sexual assault I touched on it on my stories tw: sexual assault

I touched on it on my stories yesterday but everything around the Sarah Everard case has brought up a lot of horrible, horrible memories for many people and I truly hope you're okay. 🧡

I've had a sick feeling in my stomach all week about it all and am thinking of Sarah and her poor family, and how much they (and we) are so desperate this nightmare to end, and for her to turn up alive and well.

In 2011, I'd just broken up with a boyfriend and went to visit my old flatmate from first year in SE London. I stayed well into the night, had a few drinks, caught up and left to go home around 1am. My bus was a straight one, stopped right outside the Santander bank  on Walworth road in e&c, but there was a guy on the top deck who kept turning around to look at me - there were only three of us up there.

I got off at my stop, looked behind me to see that he'd got off too and once I'd walked past the bank, I looked behind again and he wasn't there so I carried on. I kept checking and eventually he came back into sight but he was walking at my speed on the opposite side of the road. It was pitch black, no one else was obviously around and he crossed the street towards me whilst I crossed back over to avoid him. 

He skipped back over, and at this point I was literally about 30 steps from my house and he towered over me and asked me if i had a watch and if I could tell him the time (classic). I said no and tried to keep walking, but he grabbed my shoulders and throat, pushing to get me down to the floor. I screamed and screamed and it felt like an age that I was trying to get this man off of me, but I managed to get my arm round and instinctively just went for his eye, stuck the tip of my index finger in there and pushed with as much force as I could to get him off me.

I hurt him enough for him to realise that it wasn't going to work because I was still screaming, he let go and I ran as fast as I could to get home. I've never been more grateful to have @jessicaweston01 and Ash there. We called the police and they dealt with it but after my complaint and one trip to be questioned, I heard nothing else. 

(Continued in the comments)
I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirr I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirring in my head about lockdown, being a mum, work, even Instagram. They're overlapping and crashing into each other and over me so much that I don't get a minute to come up for air. 

Unexplainable anxious thoughts drizzle over me daily, and I can't figure out why I feel the way that I feel??

I love what I'm posting on here at the moment - I have absolutely no idea where I fall, but I like what I share and I'm constantly fighting myself over whether it's what others want to see vs what I enjoy, but luckily I seem to be winning that battle, even if it's not what people care about.

Right now I can't find a minute to finish any task - not even the small things, and I keep shooting myself reminders that I need to soak all of this time up but I also need a few seconds to breathe because all of this, everything, is SO full on. 

It's all so confusing? I don't know, maybe I need to write a list, perhaps the fog will clear a bit then - but here's a carousel of completely unrelated photos I've taken that I like. ✨

Uni is done – So, now what?

So it’s the end of May, and many of you are probably swamped with an insane amount of exams. Like my little brother (who sort of inspired this post) and his friends, and the load of you that I’ve seen on Twitter and Facebook, the prospect of going out into the ~real world~ is probably f*cking terrifying.

You may have started job hunting back in Jan/Feb (or maybe I was just a keen bean, worried to death), trying to find something to keep you in the area, to jump on the ‘work ladder’ so to speak and get as much experience as possible, getting into whatever industry that is available, just so you’re not being lazy – fair enough.

You’re probably super adamant that you NEED to stay in the field you studied because why ever would you even consider another path? With that being said though, I will also say this – it is not the end of the world if you don’t know what the hell you want to do yet. 

Finishing university is an incredible achievement, and in all honesty, I think your early 20’s is still about finding yourself. Hell, your entire 20’s is about finding yourself. If you’ve got your shit together then that’s great, but there’s nothing wrong with figuring out where you want your little pin to land on the map. I’m 25 and 30 does not feel that far away anymore – and yet I still struggle to adult on the best of days.

I watched a video recently that really put it all into perspective to me. We’ll be working our arses off until we’re 70, 80 years old; taking time out to figure out your passions is definitely something that you should do before you’re stuck in something you’re not truly into.

“Working hard for something you don’t care about is called stress, working hard for something you love is called passion.”

 

Find what works for you…

Finding something to tide you over is absolutely fine, but what’s even better about finishing uni is that you have the world at your feet – you have the ability to work for yourself at any given moment, and ultimately, it might seem like a lot of work to establish, but once you’re up and running, you’ll thank yourself for it – trust me. My boyfriend Adam is a great example of this; he’s worked so hard to get somewhere with his freelancing, and it’s paying off because it’s doing what he loves, and it really shows in his work.

Take the time to figure out what is you truly want. I bet when you went to Uni, you questioned why you were studying your degree choice at least once.

That ‘GAPYAH’ is fine…

Travelling is something you need to do – be it before you go (I only wish I’d done this, for so many reasons), or after. It opens you up to experiencing the world. There is SO much out there for you to see, and throwing yourself into different cultures can truly change you for the better. Please believe me when I say, your quaint little village might hold all the security in the world for you, but there is something deeply exciting about finding yourself in a bar in Thailand, sweating profusely, not knowing whether street food will make you poorly. Sounds horrid but it’s part of the fun.

My friend Kyle left his cushty job as a social media consultant to travel around Australia because he wanted to see the world before he settled down, and boy does he look like he’s having an incredible time. I understand that sometimes it’s just not possible to up and leave, and there might be people who depend on you, but if you feel like you need the inspiration, then go. Do it.

“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all – the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” – Randy Komisar.

It’s OK to change your mind… 

Now is the time to do that – if what you studied isn’t what you would like to do, then that is OK. You might be thinking ‘shit, well I’ve wasted a lot of money there’, but ultimately, your happiness to paramount and trumps all those exams and assignments. If it doesn’t feel right, then it’s totally OK to look at other degrees, other ways in to what you truly want to work on; apprenticeships, starting from an entry level job if thats what you want to do, starting a blog for God’s sake – that could lead you ANYWHERE (and I highly, highly recommend doing this by the way).

Basically, what I’m trying to say is that it’s OK. It’s OK to say no, it’s OK to go and find yourself. Don’t believe people when they you have to settle, because you f*cking don’t. It’s your life, and yadda yadda, it’s probably really easy for me to sit here and ‘preach’ but I’ve made my choices, and would they be different had I not had a child? Yeah – probably. Why wouldn’t they be? But I am happy. Happy with with my decisions; happy with my family, the fact that I’ll have a mortgage, happy with my job – and no, it’s not because everyone else my age is doing it. It’s because I can, and I CHOSE this life for me, myself and Isla. That’s literally what it’s all about. What you want.

Remember – it’s OK. You have the rest of your life to figure out your plan.
“Your twenties are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.”
