hi (again)
Hi.
I haven't written a blog in so long so I'm not sure how to start this. I'm not even sure what I'm going to write about, so bear with me.
I last updated this blog 2 years ago, which is crazy because so much has changed in that time. I'm 20 now (...an.....adult? wow), I left college, started a new college, relapsed, had a shitty time for a bit, sorted my head out, got into National Youth Theatre, went to NYT, was discharged from CEDs, moved to London, had a very weird time, and then moved back home. In all aspects, my life has been all over the place.
The most important thing is probably where I'm at now. I've got a new job which I really enjoy! And my hair is pink (v important fact.)
I wanted to start blogging again because I like to do too many things at once so I thought, whilst I'm doing my job/apprenticeship, supposedly preparing for drama school auditions (note the "supposedly", I'm not sure what I'm doing with all that), and attempting to not have an existential crisis - I'll add another thing to the agenda!! :))) It's really because I miss having a place to talk about things that are important to me (and making Youtube videos takes up too much time at the moment.)
Talking about my experiences with mental illness and making content about my recovery from anorexia was rewarding (from a selfish perspective - I get to talk about myself and people like it!!! - I'm joking lol) and when I received messages from people saying that I had helped them, inspired them, or just given them a bit of hope - it made me really happy. I want to keep doing that, especially as my job now is within the mental health services so I have insight from a patient's perspective, and as a staff member.
I guess this is an update to say that hopefully I'll start writing more posts soon, most likely around mental health (I've accidentally made it my brand) and maybe I'll do a post about my drama-school-audition-situation because I am confused. See you soon :)
Thanks for reading♡
