As I've said in previous posts (although it might have been on my Tumblr blog, I'm not sure) I want this blog to be completely personal, and since I'm beginning to progress with my music rather than it just being me sitting in my room dreaming of having an album out, I think I'm gonna try and make this blog double as my 'Official...
You hear it a lot, in varying forms. "Living their best life" "Making lemonade out of lemons" "Living to the fullest", but what does it actually mean? I began contemplating this as I was lying in my hammock in my back garden after getting my grades back for my mocks at the end of the first year of college. They were good, subjectively,...
I have Asperger's. It is part of the Autism Spectrum and is shortened to ASD/C (Autism spectrum disorder/condition). I have written about this before in this post, but I want to talk about it again because what is happening is not okay. I should not have to fight for reasonable adjustments which are required by law. I should not have to fight for...
It's that time of week again, luckily though I don't have college today so I'm not too moody today. This week is some of my favourite British music made by men - hope you enjoy! You may also notice a distinct lack of Queen here, I love Queen to much to just choose one song so I'm going to decicate a whole week...
Or at least one of them. A friend told me a while ago that we all have multiple soulmates - but not in the respect we're told when we're little kids. Not the Prince charming and Cinderella kind of way, but in the 'this person is perfect for me at the moment'. She said this to me in a time when I was...
As I sit here writing this, three boys in the year below me (Year 11, age 15/16) are next door listening to Kanye West. For some reason, it sent me into a spiral of thoughts about how my generation are given our first taste of politics and what is considered acceptable in life through the formats of music, films, and social media. Often...
Happy Monday! Or whatever, not really feeling the motivation today but here I am anyway. Again this week doesn't really have a theme, so just see what you like and what you don't! Used 2 This - Bad W0lfy You Love Em (ft Emmavie) - ROM Alright - Henry Chadwick The Sky Beyond The Sky - Lightning In A Twilight Hour Lazerguns -...
So, it's been a while, but I'm back! I love this week's 5 songs, and I wish I could say that there was a cohesive theme like indie or acoustic, but really its just everything I'm loving right now. Off we go! I was made for loving you / Please don't say you love me - Kina Grannis, Gardiner Sisters Singer songwriter and...
Today I turn 17. I am now a dancing queen. I've had 17 years on this earth and I feel like I have a few things to say, even if only I hear them. 1. Even if this don't get better, YOU will So, having been bullied for the majority of my time at school, I was constantly being told that everything will...
Last Friday I went to see the new film 'Me Before You', adapted by Jojo Moyles from her bestselling book of the same name. There had been a lot of controversy over the film to do with the portrayal of the disability Will has and how the story handles it. Being part of the disabled community I personally didn't have a problem with...
I've been struggling for a while with being what other people want me to be. My teachers wan't be to be studious and well mannered and spending all my time on their subject, my friends want me to be a certain way, my sister wants me to go to university, my mum wants me to write happy songs instead of sad ones and...
Name: Kesha Rose Sebert Age: 29 Occupation: Singer, Songwriter Reason I look up to her: Her talent and ability to write amazing pop songs, her bravery in standing up and against sexual violence. With an IQ of 140+ Kesha is not only ridiculously creatively talented, but she is also incredibly intelligent. Defying the norm of pop star's bringing in professional songwriters to write their...
Hi, I have depression. I have had depression for slightly over a quarter of my life, and as I get older, that fraction is only going to get bigger. I was diagnosed when I was twelve, I am now 16 (very very soon turning 17). Although people talk about mental health and depression in teenagers, I've heard very little about the reality of...
Pop culture is a very controversial subject. Some peoples livelihoods depend on it, others wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I myself used to be one of the latter, although I have now come to love celebrity culture. While I recognise that much of it is vapid and meaningless drama, that is what I love about it. It's Escapism. It's a release...
Dear RJ, I don't really know how to start this letter, but I guess saying why I'm thankful would be a good idea. I am thankful because for the first time that I have seen a headline with the word 'autism' in, the story has not been about pity, or coddling, but of admiration and elation. I am thankful because your photos and...
Today I realised that I like fashion that is weird, and not in the hipster ironic way. There's just something I love about people feeling so comfortable to just wear what they want, whether its 'too' colourful, 'too' out there, oversize, granny-ish or bending the gender boundaries - I love it. I think this is because I look up to so many people...
Like many other people my age i'm contemplating a gap year. While most of the places listed in this post are distant dreams that are far out of my budget, I would like to hopefully visit at least one of these beautiful countries and towns. So here are my top 12 places I NEED to visit! 1. Groningen - Netherlands This beautiful city...
