How to not let a single person hold you back-Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

Throughout my life,especially in secondary school, I've worked out one simple piece of human psychology that i'm sure everyone who is currently reading this has already figured out. It is that we are so weak that we let others people's thoughts about us, bring us down. Sometimes it is words but the majority of the time, it's just what people think of you. It seems to seriously affect us, even me sometimes. 

On Thursday, I had to leave dance early to go to parents evening and I didn't have a chance to change out of my dance clothes. I started to think about what people would think of me since I was wearing a bright red coloured ballroom dress. It wasn't a paranoid or worried thought but it was enough to make me feel weird about walking past all the people I knew. Now, looking back on it, I think it was such a stupid way of thinking but in the moment I was a bit embarrassed walking around in this bright red dress. I felt even more stupid for being worried because after a while, I didn't care what people thought of me and I soon realised that people didn't really stare. It just goes to show that what other people think of us, does have an affect on the way we live our lives. It's a very animalistic way of thinking because it goes back to when we wanted and needed to be accepted by others. However, there comes a time when it's just stupid and wastes time and in the long run, has no benefit to your life. I hope you don't make the same mistake as I did because you will regret the way you thought in the moment. I could have been happy that I decided not to care about the way in which people viewed me but instead I was upset that I wasn't more confident in myself.

Are you confident and don't care what others think of you? Let me know in the comments below and i'll be sure to reply to them. I ♡ hearing from you!

See you Saturday for another dance post,

Bye,

XOX,Juliette

    I am so proud of you for coming to the realization you did about your clothing and who the real you is. I would not have done that at your age. Good for you! There are times I still am not confident in myself. It's a life long struggle to become the person you were meant to be.

      Yes, even when one day you're okay with yourself, the next day, everything can change.

Hi guys, Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be talking about the Duke of Edinburgh awards. Before we get on to the blog post, make sure to hit the follow button on the sidebar. I hope you love the blog transformation. I've been working on it for the past few days to make things more accessable and aesthetically pleasing. I hope you appreciate it! Today's shout out goes to Ladylike on YouTube. They do amazing videos. We as women can definitely relate to the videos. Please go and check them out! Let's get on to the blog post. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards. A self-improvement program for adolescents and adults. This was founded by Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. At first, I wasn't so sure about joining this program. It just didn't seem my thing; doing volunteering work and completing challenges until finally, surviving for two days in the wilderness. However, something inside me just clicked. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. By doing this, it sh...

Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post, Today, I will be talking about a somewhat interesting day in a life of me. If you liked this post, please comment, I love to hear from you and reply to your comments! I usually leave a question at the end of every blog post so you can reply to that if you want! I am also trying to grow my blogging family so please don't forget to follow! Now, let's get on to a day in a life of me!👉 I woke up at 8am on Friday the 29th of December 2017. I was still extremely tired! But I'm that type of person that when I'm awake, I struggle to get back to sleep. So, as per usual, I just scrolled on my phone till it was 9am and time to get up. There isn't a specified time from which I must get up but my family find it weird, for some strange reason, if I'm awake earlier or later. Once I am down stairs, I say "good morning" and hug my parents before heading to the kitchen. Today, my dad was assembling the island which my...

New years resolutions for 2019

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Today I'm going to be making some new year resolutions for 2019. This time last year I made a few new years resolutions for 2018 and although I succeeded at completing some of them, many of them I did not complete. That's okay, but in order to ensure that my chances of completing them are higher this year, I need to be determined and keep looking back on my goals. So without further a do, here are my new years resolutions. Enjoy! Go to Berlin. I am going on a history trip for 5 days to Berlin, Germany in April. I've got my passport ready already and I can't wait to go! Start teaching dance or do something in work experience involving dance. I am hoping to start teaching dance perhaps part-time or for a small amount of hours since I'm only 14 but I do want to become a choreographer when I'm older so I thought it would be useful. If this is unable to happen, I was hoping of asking my dance studio or my ...

Blogmas day 2- Setting up the tree!

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Yesterday was the first of December meaning we were going to get our Christmas tree. Our first stop was Tescos however because my sister wanted to get some chocolates for her friend's birthday. While we were there, we also bought some meat and cheese because my mum wanted to make a lasagna for dinner. We also bought a can of peas to give to the food bank. It's sad that we even have to give anything to the food bank but in our area I know that there are quite a few people who are struggling to get their basic needs so its nice to give something back. I was also glad to see that a lot of other people were giving to the food bank. After shopping, we got into the car to go to our nearest rectory  farm where they sell real Christmas trees.  When we arrived, we pulled down the back seat to allow for room for the tree. We then started looking for the tree. We found a good tree at first but then we decided we should look aro...
