An Early (or Late) Monthly 'Live-by'

  I know, I know it's been a while, and between revision and birthday celebrations there's barely been time to breathe, never mind blog! But, I should't complain; I know I'm the type of person who'd much rather be busy than bored, however I also know that as my exams approach, blogging is going to have to take a bit of a backseat (as much as it pains me to say)...

  However, my love of quotes continues, and when this quote popped up on my pintresst news feed I absolutely fell in love with it!

  Especially as a blogger, I identify with this quote. I think it's all too easy to constantly check your Blogger stats and followers, and become a bit obsessed with making an 'internet name' for themselves. But personally, I'd much rather be one persons favorite blog, than have 100s of followers that just glance at my writing. I think it's important to apply this quote to everything in life because after all, it's not a competition!

  Have you got any 'live-bys'?

Monthly Live-by #4| January 2014!!

  Happy New Year Bloggees!! 2014- wow it sounds weird... 2013 feels like its only just begun, but on reflection its been quite a year. For one it saw the birth of this blog, crazy stuff I know.

  Anyway, we all know that "new year, new me"  is a load of crap, but we can take small steps, which leads me perfectly onto my monthly'live-by'...

    I get so excited when I think of all the things that are going to happen this year. I'm finishing school, starting something new, my mums getting married, (and there maybe some new blog projects in planning(, so much to look forward too!

  2013 served me well, but I'm grabbing 2014's metaphorical bull by the horns, BRING ON THE OPPORTUNITIES!

  P.S Happy Birthday to my beautiful friend, Rhianna. Have a good 'un!

Monthly Live-by #3| December

 To be honest, I completely forgot about this post in the chaos of November, and that's bad because I I've doing these posts so much! Anyway...ITS CHRISTMAS!!!! So I wanted this months 'live-by' to reflect this time of year.

  Personally, I think I hold back too much, exclude myself from things I shouldn't, and over time I've defiantly got better at this, but I'm not the best. So, this months quote represents my new years resolution...

  It simply means do it, whatever it is, and you'll figure out any problems later... so that is how I am going to spend my month... Short. Easy. Simple.

  Have a very merry Christmas!

Monthly Live-by #2 | October

  Last month I was so so pleased with the repose I got from my 'live-by'! It feels incredible to get such  positive feedback from what I've written. So firstly, thank you.

  Anyway, it's a new month, and after September being so long and demanding, it's a relief to finally make it to October. But, enough Chit-chat, on to the 'live-by', which this month is...

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

   I came across this post on Pintresst, and I absolutely love it! And it made me ask myself " if I was fearless, what would I do?" The answer is a lot! But, the fact remains,whether we admit it or not, we are all scared of rejection. We encourage people to see the best side of ourselves. People do amazing things every day, but nobodies perfect. They have down days and 'I can't do it anymore' days, the difference is they are extraordinary despite their fear of seeming imperfect. Or, maybe they use their fear to motivate them to achieve their best.

  What I'm really saying is, this month I am going to try my best to be fearless. I know some of you may not like her, but I live by what Taylor Swift once said: " Fearless is not being completely unafraid, it's living in spite of those things". I want to be my best, so I need to be fearless!

 Until next time!
