Take your time

“Time exposes people’s intentions and qualities” something that someone said to me recently when I asked them why they don’t think they have found ‘the one’ yet. What a great statement and perspective on things?! It really got me thinking about my own personal life and situations that I have been in and I realised that honestly, patience is key and good things really do come to those who wait.

The longer you spend just ‘getting to know’ someone, with no labels and no expectations, the better you can see whether you’re actually compatible or not. When I say compatible, I mean in terms of both a friendship and relationship. It’s very easy to get carried away with our feelings and jump into something because at the time it feels right. But then you might find yourself 2 years down the line realising that had you just taken a bit longer getting to know this person you would have noticed all of the red flags before you were so invested in what you now have.

That’s the thing about people, you’ll never truly know someone 100% and we as beings can be very manipulative and secretive if we want to be. Just because someone says that their intentions are a certain way does not mean that they are. I’m not saying don’t trust anyone but just be careful before you do. Take that time, let them expose their true intentions by things that they say and do and let them show you their good and bad qualities. Take that time before you start to trust and invest your time into them.

I’m going to start this off by saying that you need to work however is best and most productive for you because everyone is different. This is just what works for me and what I find most helpful in day to day life. My job requires me to be someone who forward plans a lot and resolves issues before they arise, expect the unexpected so to speak, or put out fires before they alight perhaps. I’m pretty good at my job, I am great at planning for things which haven’t happened yet and ensure that everything goes to plan and takes place when it needs to. That being said – in my personal life, we’re looking at a totally different person. I’ll let you in on a little secret which isn’t really a secret if you ask any of my family and friends, I am AWFUL - and I mean shockingly bad – at making plans. I don’t like making decisions, whether it’s where to eat, what time to meet up, whether I’m going to an event, what film to see at the cinema – don’t bother asking me because my response wi

It's February, almost March...where have the past 2 months gone already? When you're told 'don't wish your life away' growing up you just shrug it off as another comment made by yet another adult. It's only when you are 'yet another adult' that you realise you in fact, have wished your life away and now that you have a 9-5 job, working 5 days of every week and a fair amount of responsibilities, you're no longer wishing your life away and instead, are wishing each day would be 24 hours longer. It's a shame that isn't the way the world works, right? I started 2019 thinking this would be 'my year' along with the rest of us (how cliché) and I still do believe it could be. It's all in your mind - if you believe you can do it, you really can. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but eventually you will achieve what you want to. I've had set backs already this year (just a month and a half in) and thought my world was going to

"Life is full of them"

“Mistakes, life is full of them, apparently” Someone once said to me, and that is the honest truth. If you are going through life thinking that nothing is ever your fault and that you haven’t made mistakes then, well you have a big wakeup call coming your way my friend. The fact is, mistakes are what make and shape you as a person. They teach you lessons that you would not learn otherwise, they teach you a lot about yourself and what is right and wrong. I will be the first to admit that I hate being in the wrong and knowing that I am the one who needs to apologise. That being said, I will always own up to it once I realise that it is the case. We all say things we don’t mean, make rash decisions and fuck up every once in a while. Some do this more than others, but at the end of the day - ALL of us do it. Sometimes we will stand by what we have said or done and do not believe we are in the wrong and that’s ok too, but you have affected somebody else with your actions so the
