You know exactly the girl I'm talking about too - your mind conjures up that particular brand of effortless-easy-breezy-Effie-Stonem-doesn’t-give-a-shit chic. She can put together the perfect all black outfit, complete with smoked out midnight liner and a milkless espresso to match, but in a way that makes it look like she doesn't care. Like she rolled out of bed from a party the night before and somehow looks the perfect mix of careless yet put together. An effortless contradiction. In other words, she doesn’t exist.<div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUrLMROrRtUiltW551nqYDFmVOMyvUV5RVLqIAOeVBSQx04gq7wQuDU1e5yt2LPhgP3lUd5pI7KV5aifMnFVqGJe8G3x3VF8MFLNTso47VcXqbgYENtkMm_H5InoR1YDTUCcE0mkysa4r47EleMOyLakb549Hsc76vU0Kg4MRvereTsRa-Ny-uu7o/s1920/1662312635436.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUrLMROrRtUiltW551nqYDFmVOMyvUV5RVLqIAOeVBSQx04gq7wQuDU1e5yt2LPhgP3lUd5pI7KV5aifMnFVqGJe8G3x3VF8MFLNTso47VcXqbgYENtkMm_H5InoR1YDTUCcE0mkysa4r47EleMOyLakb549Hsc76vU0Kg4MRvereTsRa-Ny-uu7o/s16000/1662312635436.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I think my first desire to be the cool girl was at school (i.e. the breeding ground for all of our past trauma, but dear reader, that's another blog post for another time). I remember every hint of explicit femininity being demonised; from owning a glittery pink pencil case to shedding a single tear on the school playground because you tripped and ripped open your knee. Anything vaguely linked to teenage girlhood was seen as a weakness and a flaw. As far as I knew, boys didn't want girls who expressed how they felt, boys wanted girls who didn't outwardly seem to exhibit any emotion at all. And back then all my self-worth lay with, you’ve guessed it, male validation, so naturally, I rose to the challenge. Unlike the ‘not like other girls’ girl, the aim of the cool girl is not to be desired. It is almost the opposite in fact, not caring if she desired at all, and why would she? She's got to focus on making sure her hair looks just tousled enough to look like she didn't spend two and a half hours on it.<br /><br />Of course, experimenting with different aesthetics is pretty harmless, and something we all dove into during successive pandemics. But it becomes more of an issue when parts of a particular character seep deeper than surface level, namely when you're locking away crucial parts of who you are for so long that you can no longer find the key. Or even worse, you forget there was ever a door. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ba7e32f2-7fff-f502-c301-80e744a3fee2"><div><br /></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkFPxYMsXLf6aC7khm-5yA4ePCai0jVqSTaQxwbO4hA6giMKFJngMOgJALpH4FFoCI0bcGIQTrAGPP8hNJnF0NuyBG7qPlE82hkrs-fhXw0aU0-kn2LGimsSVf6SgVD_mTbAr_B0DCapCNXg2vW9tcBaMIa_4JAmix6QBtnn2O6WXNcvfnCa5rLTVu/s1920/1662312622215.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkFPxYMsXLf6aC7khm-5yA4ePCai0jVqSTaQxwbO4hA6giMKFJngMOgJALpH4FFoCI0bcGIQTrAGPP8hNJnF0NuyBG7qPlE82hkrs-fhXw0aU0-kn2LGimsSVf6SgVD_mTbAr_B0DCapCNXg2vW9tcBaMIa_4JAmix6QBtnn2O6WXNcvfnCa5rLTVu/s16000/1662312622215.jpg" /></a></div><br />From the point I realised I was interested in boys (a dark time), I've thought - or at least I've told myself - that I wasn't dependent on having relationships. That somehow wanting a connection with someone else was a weakness, and that they were something I could easily take or leave. Rather than seeking anything out, I'd often find myself in the position of becoming friends with someone I really liked, before either getting out as quickly as possible or reluctantly entering into something I didn't really want to, because (and this is painful to type), I was straying from being the cool girl. In either case of course, I was doomed to fail. I was clinging so tightly onto being this version of something I thought was right - namely easygoing, distant, the opposite of 'needy' - that it made me lose sight of what I really wanted. Of course, this hard exterior often faltered, namely in the form of Tumblr poetry saturated with my inner-most feelings (and pretty poor metaphors). But also in my breakups. While throughout the relationship itself I’d manage to give a pretty convincing performance of being the ‘one who cares less’, when it reached its inevitable end, the emotions would sweep me off my feet like a tidal wave. Suddenly it would hit me how much I fucking cared about this other person and how much losing what we had was going to hurt. The cool girl was nowhere to be seen.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2b6ec5b6-7fff-e0d2-cf23-3beb42b2350f">Even now, even with all the hindsight and self awareness, this longing to be someone I think I should be is still very much there. I’m still scared of caring too much, of being too much, of immersing myself fully. I give people parts of myself, but never everything, and that’s ok of course. We all have worlds inside of us that noone may ever know anything about. But it’s something that has swelled to the surface recently, being at a point in my life where I’m having to make proper grown up decisions about things. I’ve convinced myself I don’t want to do things despite holding myself back so tightly I wouldn’t actually know if I did. The longing to be the cool girl has morphed into something else; more than lived in liner and refusing to message first on msn, it’s an entrenched fear of wanting to get too involved in anything. Why? I guess there’s a million reasons, but most vividly, is the fear it’s going to go wrong. That I’ll have cared so much, when it does go wrong, it’ll hurt. <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEdNwCHh1fSWKTZlzqNT_-GTzKkmTHj--F1xCFlJIUY_BHHg6OIMQp9xoirhUCT559JMGecwTrdl_VaoEyH90PdRM2Eadn_f8WovJP0H58hlGW7ruvaU89Gq-PCI47qWKUrGJQXEbSOJU9Oiaplb8ScxtSK4ZWF-5sptgI9QrcF1p9NG6Kzr_B-yVI/s1920/1662312745254.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEdNwCHh1fSWKTZlzqNT_-GTzKkmTHj--F1xCFlJIUY_BHHg6OIMQp9xoirhUCT559JMGecwTrdl_VaoEyH90PdRM2Eadn_f8WovJP0H58hlGW7ruvaU89Gq-PCI47qWKUrGJQXEbSOJU9Oiaplb8ScxtSK4ZWF-5sptgI9QrcF1p9NG6Kzr_B-yVI/s16000/1662312745254.jpg" /></a></div><p></p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>And that’s what I’m just now beginning to come to terms with. That being hurt is part of being human. That feelings are messy and spill out over the sides. That emotion isn’t a weakness. That things can and do go wrong. But maybe it's not that they're wrong, maybe they’re just not what you expected them to be. <br /><br />Unfortunately this isn’t one of those posts that can be neatly enveloped and sealed with witty conclusion. But if it is something you can relate to, I hope it makes you feel a little less alone. I’m sending you all love during these stranger than strange times (though that word barely seems to touch the sides anymore) and stay safe. </div><div><br /></div><div>Georgia xxx<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p></div></div>Georgia.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01304178436985423556noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129821544917094542.post-19430022038190304902022-02-12T06:45:00.002-08:002022-02-12T06:45:55.598-08:00Main character energy<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Whether you're taking selfies in a public toilet, re-watching the US version of the Office or swanning around Stockport pretending to be Cruella Deville, just a little reminder that you're always the main character in your own life.

Moments where I’ve really appreciated life and how thankful I am for every aspect of it. Seeing people irl for the first time in a long time, or ever. Going back to the cinema. Listening to a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VB24LYsE60" target="_blank">new album</a> from start to finish. Trying to pronounce wines I can’t pronounce. Walking without purpose. Getting on a train and inevitably losing my ticket. Speaking to strangers.

How I see myself has been a bit of a rollercoaster throughout the years, and whilst the steep drops and loop-the-loops are now few and far between, that doesn’t mean I’m not faced with a sharp turn every now and then. Especially when faced with my own reflection more than I’d like.</span></p></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh7pBvKUetbZcKKvVXqRgYt04WvimS0ubk6w5GPJ2YrGNoqWh7Dngsu5cAfkwvrVdYiJUV6-yyHi1dbXHfHtEZujjyY6J1K5VKAs3RHcEzYUfjNboOeZ6b1Sw-EJtyAiSkIkTaQFf879DXzAziUP4WuluJ41t6O-QF2Lcl0v9pmRKy2qWcnDyxAEP0R=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh7pBvKUetbZcKKvVXqRgYt04WvimS0ubk6w5GPJ2YrGNoqWh7Dngsu5cAfkwvrVdYiJUV6-yyHi1dbXHfHtEZujjyY6J1K5VKAs3RHcEzYUfjNboOeZ6b1Sw-EJtyAiSkIkTaQFf879DXzAziUP4WuluJ41t6O-QF2Lcl0v9pmRKy2qWcnDyxAEP0R=s16000" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-515b8930-7fff-0a39-57b4-693d77ca90da"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’m not talking about the hall of mirrors (don’t worry, that theme park metaphor died in the last paragraph), but rather, being at home more than we usually would be. Eighteen months or so in fact, give or take. The quick glance at yourself in the hallway mirror on the way out has grown into the peering at your thumbnail in the corner of every Google hangout to make sure you still look engaged after two hours. The insta pressure to make sure your pals know you’re having a good time 24/7. The scrolling, scrolling and more scrolling before checking your front camera and feeling sad that you don’t have a chance in hell of ever looking like that girl you don’t even know. Told you it was a rollercoaster.</span></p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWEMGFUtq5K9pp3lvYYPr6CaVssrear-oO5GEOFez9WGMWeco8VkxgLBLH6NU_zLN7aZrzgbBHRmY8uKoUMXnFZPndv5XwBA3jAW0qFSe1PEByoJPPaNkOb-zlsNhjWeD4hupe9tBtpSVcCCyDKSuZoHwEfOpKDo9nqU5oCJnwSa2p6WSPknhTXNiD=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWEMGFUtq5K9pp3lvYYPr6CaVssrear-oO5GEOFez9WGMWeco8VkxgLBLH6NU_zLN7aZrzgbBHRmY8uKoUMXnFZPndv5XwBA3jAW0qFSe1PEByoJPPaNkOb-zlsNhjWeD4hupe9tBtpSVcCCyDKSuZoHwEfOpKDo9nqU5oCJnwSa2p6WSPknhTXNiD=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-5ae97a9b-7fff-7162-55da-713aa90203d4"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve been told to stop worrying about what I look like, to stop thinking about what others think, and to stop letting my insecurities about my appearance get in the way. Because oh boy, do those insecurities get in the way. And the funny thing is, you and I know they’re not even real. Not really. The only thing giving them life and allowing them to breathe are the big corporations which continue to capitalise off of them. Lips too thin? Plump them. Eye bags too big? Conceal them. Skin not smooth, radiant or youthful enough? You’re going to need at least five different creams. That’ll be £782 please. Imagine if we just stopped buying things the patriarchy told us to buy because we simply don’t need them? Anarchy. </span></p></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTAiqB9qvWOL_RC24qVlYiILyE6FI5PgH7h_T6PBuWnsNIyZaNN4CEMHTxjK-MAM1IS6LgGVCdbg9D7GrMfku76zVZEjA7zl9FQ02Y_rd3wxgFVwQtMTDsP6gKDvxQE1w804wNNYGUuRS_TTP2oIoEvF5g-9lV39fiIjPyNHaRivIlGXg5owBxIIqs=s1920" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTAiqB9qvWOL_RC24qVlYiILyE6FI5PgH7h_T6PBuWnsNIyZaNN4CEMHTxjK-MAM1IS6LgGVCdbg9D7GrMfku76zVZEjA7zl9FQ02Y_rd3wxgFVwQtMTDsP6gKDvxQE1w804wNNYGUuRS_TTP2oIoEvF5g-9lV39fiIjPyNHaRivIlGXg5owBxIIqs=s16000" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-c37ba566-7fff-de5b-d027-beb5cddd234b"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And yet, even though I know all of this, I still feel that incredible pressure to conform. To fit in. To look a certain way. And sure, a lot of that I do for myself - make up, clothes, hair, skin care etc. - but there is a part of me which does wonder, is it really for me? Or is it just my own internalised male gaze? I could literally write a whole book on this; the theory that even when we’re alone, everything we do is subconsciously just to serve the male point of view. A harrowing and depressing thought, but an intriguing one none the less. (For the record, when I’m dressing up at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon to make a Halloween outfit reel, I’m pretty sure that is for me and me alone. No man, or woman tbh, wants to see me in yet another £5 eBay wig.) </span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-91f9da39-7fff-3347-610f-38c3a43efcdb"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So where do we go from here? Whilst I don’t think there’s really a clear cut and dry answer, I do think awareness is a good starting point. Simply being more conscious of the reasons why you’re doing things and being safely assured in the knowledge that the sole purpose of you and your body extends far beyond what you look like. You’re so, so much more than that. </span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZxEkatYG4x8ymzWdawimmkbOQCy79Cn-E6cjFg5m_cy2amyJ6LeQutFNgGPFEaj6fR8iLvRyAmt2g_sk6JIj7CSMKSBIMTv1rbfKeDBoZ914upm0oaigcE3cYLozk1ZoUyPKclhOTa3ezq7-nVrUsg4K9CIBeP2v-2BP6NYDjh3g4gwFDC3s7rVkV=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZxEkatYG4x8ymzWdawimmkbOQCy79Cn-E6cjFg5m_cy2amyJ6LeQutFNgGPFEaj6fR8iLvRyAmt2g_sk6JIj7CSMKSBIMTv1rbfKeDBoZ914upm0oaigcE3cYLozk1ZoUyPKclhOTa3ezq7-nVrUsg4K9CIBeP2v-2BP6NYDjh3g4gwFDC3s7rVkV=s16000" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s been a while since I wrote a proper blog post so please excuse the above tangential ramble (let’s be honest, what’s new?)

I don’t know about you, but life seems to be going simultaneously fast and slow these days - how we are in July (??!) is something that baffles me on a daily basis. Along with political decision making, rich people going into space and the England boys making it to the final of the Euros (It’s coming home lads!). </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Anyway, my constant confusion aside, I have sought a lot of solace over the past few months experimenting, namely through the medium of clothes. If this blog hasn’t already made it clear to you, clothes have always been something I’ve got a lot of enjoyment from. That might seem bizarre to type out loud, but as someone that loves to flit between aesthetics and has her mood boosted by a quick #ootd change, using clothes to become something totally different has always been a source of joy for me. Also less messy than dyeing my own hair. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve also been reflecting on my sources of inspiration, and how they’ve changed fashion-wise over the years. Anyone who was on Tumblr in the 2000s - 2010s will recall the onslaught of content we were fed; amidst memes and Lana Del Rey lyrics, ombre galaxy sweatshirts and Jeffrey Campbell litas were the talk of my dashboard. Honorable mention for disco pants. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As Instagram and more recently, Tik Tok have quickly become the social media platforms of choice for fashion inspiration, it’s been interesting to watch trends emerge and fizzle out, often just as fast. That coveted item that was all over your feed one minute becomes old news the next. So what’s driving this constant clothing conveyor belt? Beyond being deeply flawed in a multitude of ways, fast fashion companies are adding fuel to the fire of over consumption and shortening the life cycles of trends that they create. The ones that show up on your news feed again and again and again and again. Just bought that new graphic mini dress? That’s so five minutes ago. Here’s an ad for this one instead. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So what’s my point here you ask? Apart from being pissed at fast fashion companies that can’t pay their workers a fair wage, I guess this is just a little nudge to look beyond the trends. OK, believe me as someone who is v. partial to a trend or two, I know how tricky this can be, but once you start finding inspiration from sources other than the explore page, it can become a heck of a lot easier. Depop/Ebay/Vinted are a great place to start. Plus without the pressure of keeping up with the literal Kardashians, you begin to find a freedom in putting what you actually want to wear on your body. And after all, what could be better than that? </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal;

Scrolling through pictures and saving them to virtual boards? I always thought it was somewhere for DIY-ers and wedding planners, but now a few hundred pins later, I am hooked. The easy browsing, the 21st June outfit planning, the media without the social and the joy of looking at things purely to look at them. And categorise them so I can look at them some more. Pure bliss. I think the fact it brings back the childhood nostalgia of my Tumblr days may have something to do with it too. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXctbNFI0WgDykrUYh_Idw1oiE8pfvswxW_5zh8WfiNATQLIaRaLBJGPW9sh0OGYoQIzsgQ3iMTKl2gW4R8o5Qq29QY-A-pspUswVPbMjedH6Vt_gW8Jca3D8Zib1Cg_0600nKsmKAwI/s1920/1619552898297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXctbNFI0WgDykrUYh_Idw1oiE8pfvswxW_5zh8WfiNATQLIaRaLBJGPW9sh0OGYoQIzsgQ3iMTKl2gW4R8o5Qq29QY-A-pspUswVPbMjedH6Vt_gW8Jca3D8Zib1Cg_0600nKsmKAwI/s16000/1619552898297.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So why is it that I’m telling you all about my newfound love for Pinterest? Is this an ad? (If only.) To be honest, it’s really just a reminder that the internet isn’t always a horrible place. It can actually, sometimes, be somewhere to pause and be unproductive.

Noone else is up.

When life is moving a much slower pace (thanks panoramic) one of the only silver linings is that growth of appreciation. I don’t know about you, but this period has really put my life into slow motion, and allowed me to see it for what it really is. Frame by frame. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddE4w7hF8K3CtT1hdbZCUjScD7UTRkxsbGd5YKBGlsqEO-d1bZgwub0MM0UtVdQvI-C1-CrUknXgBQxcO7W8WAvQ_1Sy4iQ0bkpEmA8bEOPBCE6NoUaBiE9GSlQxPb_5CXKJrzWmXdbg/s1920/1613906583781.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddE4w7hF8K3CtT1hdbZCUjScD7UTRkxsbGd5YKBGlsqEO-d1bZgwub0MM0UtVdQvI-C1-CrUknXgBQxcO7W8WAvQ_1Sy4iQ0bkpEmA8bEOPBCE6NoUaBiE9GSlQxPb_5CXKJrzWmXdbg/s16000/1613906583781.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Of course, that change of pace also means a lot more time for thinking, thinking, and oh yeah, thinking some more. Whilst most of the memories my tired mind brings up are soft and comforting bursts of hazy nostalgia, there is a small portion which revisits forgotten friendships and poor decisions. Often followed by a knot in my stomach and a strange sense of remorse. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Should I feel guilty for relationships I’ve lost and the choices I’ve made? </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What I’m starting to realise (it’s taken me long enough) is that life isn’t straightforward. Not every friendship is forever and no choice you make has to define who you are. Just because you are X one day doesn’t mean you can’t be Y the next. Things will move in and out of your life, but they don’t necessarily need to be good or bad. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I used to spend so much time worrying about things in my life that happened - literally - years ago, but why? Cliche (I mean c’mon do you expect anything less from me?) but I can’t change the past. As much as I’d like to hop in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_time_machine" target="_blank">DeLorean</a>, there’s no way I can venture back to teenage me and try to rekindle something for the sake of rekindling it. Plus, that would mean putting concealer on my lips again, and I don’t think anything is worth reliving that phase *shivers*. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHkpDJUWBGmOZh1WKAIqcHpFoppxpSEFKLKtGVy_An9M1VKilIAwHHoqXojIegiLWhYftgrZ-bUL7BTSpNsGZ_ApLDqk5pLrGZo5WwDALAmiYBtBfu5nLMXPWWt_TE7mT_iIIhOEWVTo/s1920/1613906494397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHkpDJUWBGmOZh1WKAIqcHpFoppxpSEFKLKtGVy_An9M1VKilIAwHHoqXojIegiLWhYftgrZ-bUL7BTSpNsGZ_ApLDqk5pLrGZo5WwDALAmiYBtBfu5nLMXPWWt_TE7mT_iIIhOEWVTo/s16000/1613906494397.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-3d7d2f21-7fff-15b7-0b90-30e252d1cf4e"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So what’s the point of this post you may be wondering. Really, it’s a bit of a reminder, to you and honestly me too. A reminder that those moments of joy really are there, even in those times where the waves are crashing around your ankles and you feel like you’re treading water.

would be an understatement. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Just when we thought times couldn't get any more turbulent,
the universe seemed to stop, turn around and whisper, <i>'hold my
beer'</i>. What was once harmless scrolling
through Twitter, Instagram or even Facebook *shudder*, has now become a never-ending news cycle
rabbit hole, and any longer than five minutes will only cause your inner
monologue to plead with you to <i>'make it
stop!!</i>'. Whether it's government updates, a breaking news story or Karen's
questionable status, the overload of information can be more than overwhelming.
And when so much of what's being reported is incredibly important, this can
become a problem. </div>

Why? Because there's no time to take it in, to process it,
learn from it, and understand it. The vital movements which are happening
across the world which are a crucial cornerstone of change are being diluted
and taken advantage of (e.g. don't use a protest as a backdrop for your
sponsored insta post please and thank you.) We skim headline after headline
across social media, Whatsapp, MSN news, and words - often very important ones
- become distorted, skewed, and of course, reshared.</div>

Whilst real time access to news, thanks to the likes of
Twitter etc has been revolutionary, it can also present real problems, namely
in the form of over consumption, and fake news. With people being at home more
often than they otherwise would be, screen time has increased dramatically, and
the likelihood of your family member on Facebook sharing that viral Daily Mail
article has similarly sky rocketed. Chances that they've checked it for
validity? Slightly lower. </div>

OK ok, so I realise this may seem like a *bit* of a rant, and
I would be lying if I said it wasn't, but in my humble opinion, I feel it's a
pretty important one. The news is actually an incredible useful resource, and
whilst it can often be hard to see past the hashtags, accurate reporting is the
only real way we can find out about anything beyond our front doors. So how can
we make the most of the information we're fed?</div>

When I was younger, I used to carry a notebook with me
wherever I went. Shopping centres, supermarkets, the dentist or my weekly
ballet class; no matter what the occasion, odds are I would have been clutching
a notebook close to my chest. And probably a couple of scented gel pens -
remember those?!</div>

I would treat this book like a prized possession - and by
'book', I mean 'books', plural. I had stacks and stacks of them. Filled with
absolutely everything and anything. Ideas, drawings, poems, lists, and perhaps
most importantly of all, stories. To me, back then, stories were everything.
I'd spend car rides watching the hills, streetlamps and bus stops streak past,
telling my parents how fairies might be flitting between them. I'd dream of
ways to describe the colour of the evening light streaming into my bedroom, and
the patterns it made on my ceiling. For every fleeting moment of magic, I had
to get it down on paper, because at the time, that's what those words truly felt like: magic. </div>

Because I miss it. I miss the feeling of being creative,
just for me. Not to post on my timeline or share on my stories, but just
because I want to. Writing was always incredibly personal for me, something I
did for myself without the pressure of wondering what anyone else would think.
When my last job relied on my ability to string sentences together, some of
that magic got lost.<br />

Over the weekend, I took these photos after watching a
Tiktok tutorial on photography 'hacks' - I feel like the oldest person in the
world typing that sentence, believe me. I've
been binging Hollywood on Netflix, and I'd just gotten a little carried away in
the wonder and cinematic glamour of the show. Whilst the #BTS did not reflect
this - phone torch and toilet roll holder anyone - I really had the best time creating something simply for the joy of creation. It just happened to be a bit
of a fluke that I didn't hate the way they turned out.</div>

If you take away anything from this, remember that
productivity has multiple definitions, depending on what you're hoping to
"produce". Whether that's a 10,000 page novel or photos that you took
in your bathroom, taking that time to do something for yourself can often be
much more rewarding in the long run. </div>

So here we are - another day, another blog post. And the
strangeness continues.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I've referenced the ongoing 'strangeness' quite a lot
recently; as an opener to emails, phone conversations and even just chatting to
my parents. It's a good way of acknowledging the situation without having to <i>actually</i> acknowledge it. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Staying inside has definitely brought with it mixed
feelings. Gratitude for the most part. I've felt incredibly lucky to be able to
work from home, have extended time to myself, and the luxury of my parents'
kitchen cupboards. Thinking about applying for the next series of Masterchef as
I type. <br />
<br />
However, whilst I am, quote unquote, a fairly introverted person, I
really do miss having the option of venturing beyond the front porch. I miss being able to escape from my own head,
just in the safety of knowing I have that freedom. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being at home also comes with its own smaller challenges,
that when faced with everyday can quickly become something more... noticeable.
One example being faced with your own reflection more often than usual. Whether
it's a Google Hangout video call or having to walk past the big mirror every
time you go to the kitchen to make another cup of tea, having to look at your
face for a larger portion of the day is not always ideal - particularly when
the relationship with your appearance isn't the best (we're just about on
speaking terms).<br />

Another - perhaps more obvious thing - is cabin fever.
Whether you're riding this out alone or with flatmates or family, emotions are
running high and tempers are fraught. Seemingly tiny problems can quickly
escalate into full blown door slamming disasters, ones which only the kettle seem
to be able to solve. If you're from the UK you might be able to relate to this
- I don't think I've ever appreciated tea bags more in my entire life. I don't
even know if I like tea anymore, I just know it's the glue that's holding our
household together. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, whilst these molehills are there, they really are
molehills - this isn't going to last forever. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right now, all I'm thinking about is how brilliant it will
be when we can do everything we want to do, and even the things we <b>don't</b> want to
do - it's bizarre how much I miss public transport, overcrowded shopping
centres and disproportionately priced drinks. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Perhaps most of all, I'm looking forward to seeing my
favourite people without having to rely on wifi. If anything, this has made me
realise the things, or people, I really
value. Also prosecco. Honorary mention.<br />

What are you most looking forward to when 'normal' life
resumes?<br />

You know those outfits where you put them on and just feel
like you? That's what graphic T's and mini skirts are for me. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I used to think that my style had to fit in a box. I thought
I had to be the cricket-jumper-and-knee-socks-prep wannabe OR the
ripped-knee-and-band-t-rock-and-roll enthusiast - I could throw my heart and
soul into one or the other, but never both. I'm not sure where this mentality stemmed from
(perhaps something to do with society's incessant desire to pigeon hole women
in general, but that's a post for another day), but I'm glad that I'm now free
from this mindset.</div>

I love the feeling of being able to easily alter or reflect
how I'm feeling simply through a quick rifle through my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wardrobefullofclothes/" target="_blank">wardrobe</a>. I love being
able to jump from sixties chic to low-key goth in the space of five minutes,
without feeling like I have to fully commit to someone else's ideal, or even
explain myself. </div>

These photos are a serious throwback to simpler times back in London. Meanwhile, Happy Saturday. I feel like I've finally moved past the
'this is really weird' stage to the 'this is really weird but I've sort of
accepted it's the best thing to do' stage. And this week I've actually felt
fairly OK.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As well as working from home - which I'm so thankful to be able to do - I've taken the time to sort
out a whole load of my stuff, make excessive amounts of pancakes, and try out
some post-lockdown outfits. I've done my best to actually respond to my texts
and Facebook messages (I'm a serially slow responder), drunk a fair amount of
wine and binged a hell of a lot of Netflix.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I've also really tried to make a conscious effort to
reconsider the kind of content I'm consuming. What with my screen time having
increased tenfold, it's very easy to go down an Instagram rabbit hole, and come
out two hours later, convinced you're not thin, tanned, or Victoria's Secret
runway show ready, enough. It's one
thing trying to convince your best friend that she shouldn't have to change for
anyone, but it's a WHOLE other thing trying to convince yourself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought I'd share some of the creators I've been watching
recently, because along with Tiger King, I think some positive content is
something that we're all fairly in need of right now.</div>

a fairly introverted person who is more than happy to binge Netflix and a
bottle of wine. When plans are cancelled, I silently rejoice. However, what I had never really realised before - until about a week
ago - is just how much I rely on those small moments of human interaction to get me through the day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A little bit of back story. So for the last year or so, I
have been working in London whilst living solo. In a nutshell, it's been great
- I get to enjoy the buzz of working centrally in a big city whilst having the
luxury of peace and quiet at the end of each day. I can't put into words how
grateful I am to be able to live by myself - as you're probably aware, real
estate is somewhat at a premium in the capital. Or anywhere for that matter.
Anyway, given the current circumstances, three weeks ago our office was
instructed to work from home. Which, at first, I
thought 'OK cool'. I can avoid a crowded commute, I don't have to pay over £5 for a mediocre sandwich, I can have an extra hour asleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One week goes by and suddenly, I realise, all may not be
as rosy as I first thought. My daily
routine was slipping. The peace and quiet had become overwhelming. I felt my
work self and actual self had begun to merge (I was dreaming about emails.) I
tried to push on but every day looking in the mirror was like staring at a
slightly more unravelled version of myself. One that the morning trips to
Sainsbury's (god bless those veteran sales assistants), could not seek to cure.
Rumours of a London lockdown prompted my colleagues - who are all living with
flatmates or family - to encourage me to head back up North. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">So after a bit of deliberation and a bout of confused packing, I made my way to an eerily quiet Euston station and hopped on the 11.07 train back up north. And all in all, so far so good. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Whilst my family maybe wouldn't be my first choice of flatmates, they're still pretty high up on the list. Plus, the dogs. I mean need I say more?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For me, the most difficult thing with this situation is
the 'not knowing.' The uncertainty and the unpredictability. The need to know
everything and the desperation to know nothing. Feeling a total lack of control
over the structure of my day-to-day life, and having a lot of time to be inside my own head without distraction - two things I have actually really
struggled with. Of course, I recognise I am in a HUGE position of privilege -
being able to work from home without the threat of my job being lost. Having a
roof over my head and a landlord who wouldn't threaten to evict me if I needed
to defer paying rent. But that loss of control is something that so many of us seem to be
experiencing, and if nothing else, is the root of that washing machine type
feeling in the pit of my stomach. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So what can we do to overcome it? Whilst there is of
course no 'one quick fix' to coping with something like this, there are steps we can take to adapt to this temporary way of life. The first
being exactly that; remembering that this is temporary. We will come out the other
side and it will be great. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Take time to take care of yourself, and see it as an opportunity
to focus on you, without feeling that creeping guilt of not being productive.
It's completely fine to just read a book you want to read, bake a cake for one,
or just sit and do absolutely nothing. So
many of us are in the same boat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally, I would say that if you can, keep in contact
with those around you, and not just via text. It's crazy how much of a
difference hearing someone's voice can actually make, and whilst I would
usually 100% be a text > call girl any day of the week, now is the time to
mix things up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

on here. If you are interested, my latest looks are over on my <a href="https://lookbook.nu/teandtwosugars" target="_blank">Lookbook page</a>. I guess it's the perfect time to experiment
