LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF

Dear Younger Self,
                               I know that sometimes you can feel sad because of what happened but please know that those feelings of sadness, anger and confusion will soon disappear and turn into happiness.
It's okay to be different, it's actually what will make people like you. Don't feel left out or boring if you don't do what everyone else is doing, you will be thankful soon that you didn't partake in their "fun".
Sometimes you need to break friendships as they are bad for you. It may be hard as you have invested so much time, money and energy into them, however it is for the best and you will find friends that will help you grow rather than hold you back.
Even though people have hurt you don't hold grudges it will take up too much of your time. Instead learn to forgive and forget and you will be happier.
Don't let anyone tell you that you dreams are too big and that your dreams are unachievable because no dream is too big and trust me when I say you will achieve anything you put your mind to.
And lastly, You know yourself extremely well. You know what you like and what you dislike so be more confident with your decisions.

 Love 18 year old you x

DO WHAT YOU LOVE

Since making the decision early this year that I will be studying fine art at university, I feel everything is starting to slowly fall into place and I am certain I have made the correct decision.

I applied to be the 'Cass Art Student Ambassador' and I got it! I get the chance to guest write for their blog, gain experience and insight into the commercial side of the creative world, test products, exhibit my art work within a group show and much much more.

I am finally starting to see the importance of doing what you love.

This blog post is basically a reminder to me and to whoever happens to stumble across it to 'Do what you love' as you never know how far it can take you.
