So as some of you may know, I like poetry. So what better way than to post a poem I wrote within five minutes, as a little note to self (let's just pretend it could be about me). To be honest, my aim of the poem was as a reminder to anyone who reads it, that they're uniquely incredible.
Bring on the cheesiness haha!
I hope you embrace YOU today and enjoy the poem, as well as the video.
Take care x

Update (Hello 2015)
I haven't been on here for months, so HELLO! :)
I don't have a particular aim or plan of what I want to write but I do know that something inspired me to write a little today. As I am currently reading a book on feminism, I realised a lot of things I feel, have felt and will undoubtedly feel, are definitely not natural. This ranges from being scared of walking alone in the street, even if it is light outside, to feeling the need that I need to be small, or the annoying feeling I get when I know that my sister and I will never be as "free" as possible.
Now, I respect "boundaries" and have certain things that I wouldn't be willing to do...this is not necessarily related to my gender...but simply because I wouldn't be comfortable doing it. I am in no means against males, I have a brother, father, grandad, uncles, have had respectable male teachers, and so on, therefore I appreciate that "Not All Men" is an honest phrase. However, this does not eliminate the sexism that generally DOES take place - ranging from actions that take place at schools, work, public, or even in people's mindset.
"You're a boy, you can't become a designer."
"Come on, be serious Ellie, you don't really think you can be an astronaut, do you?"
"Aw, you're a little girl, why would you cut your hair?"
"Mikey, put your sister's doll down."
I understand that our biological differences make us more suitable to certain roles, but let's not forbid the future generation from certain things, simple based on their gender. Teach little girls that they can be energetic and play outside. Don't deprive boys from things like arts and crafts. Let kids be kids, without the gender stereotypes. Maybe then, the next generation will grow up respecting each other, despite biological/gender differences, and treating one another equally...which is what feminism is about. EQUALITY.

Update!
Hiya reader,
Hope your week went well and that your plans for the weekend all go according to plan. Todays' post doesn't really have a purpose (oopsie, haha). But I will share a little update!

- We’ve moved house and it’s such a relief and was actually temporarily distracting.
- Tomorrow I would have completed my first month in recovery, aka, with a meal plan and regular sessions with my Clinician.
- [TW] I’ve put on approx. a kilo in the past month, although the ED centre aim for a kilo a week. Originally, Family-Based Therapy was being used but now my Clinician is considering other options that might work better.
- I’m hoping to start a journal/scrap-book, which is something that might work as a distraction.
- I have actually filmed a Room Tour for my YouTube channel and I’ll be uploading it soon.
- I now have my own room and it feels so good.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for YouTube videos, do leave a comment! I'm hoping to film a bunch of videos and upload them over July. Anyways, as I said, this post is pretty pointless, sorry haha. But here's a little quote for you...
No matter how broken my heart may feel, I will always be grateful it still has a beat.- Demi Lovato

Mini Haul ♥
Hiya everyone. So here's a few things I got in town today.
Primark: The patterned trousers (£9) and the polka dotted mirror (£1).
Boots: I don't know the prices of them exactly as they were on offer, with the nail varnish and lip balm as a free gift! I'm not a beauty guru AT ALL...and quite frankly know very little about make up. However, I like these products, so here are the names of them:
♥ No7 lipstick (Moisture Drench - shade DIVINE - SPF 15)
♥ No7 nail varnish (Stay Perfect - shade DUCK EGG BLUE)
♥ No7 BB Lips (Beauty Balm - shade BLINK PINK - SPF 15)
♥ No7 Lip Stain + Gloss (Stay Perfect)
Hope you enjoyed this, despite it being quite different. I would suggest checking out Boots's offers at the moment!
I hope to write a more beneficial post soon, however I'm dealing with certain personal issues right now and don't feel comfortable with discussing it quite yet. Hope your weekend is going well.
Take Care xo
