I Don't Really Know What This Is

147.

I love the smell of freshly cut grass

I love when cherry blossom trees bloom

I love when old couples hold hands

I love when men show their vulnerability

I love people who are creative

I love seeing people with their own styles

I love when people are passionate about things

I stupidly love teen rom com movies and programmes because they warm my heart

I love the idea of a soul friend, more than a best friend

I love the idea of being in a group of ride or die friends

I love when people are supportive, understanding and caring

I love music that has a story

I love candid photographs

I love real physical photographs

I love memories

I love when people can see beauty beyond the obvious

I love when you listen to a song 100 times on repeat because it perfectly sums you up in that moment

I love the fictional love story I write in my mind

I love seeing genuine joyous reactions from people

I love so much

I wrote this list to remind myself that when my brain can only show me all the negative things, there's all this and way more that brings colour to my mind.

I've not written in over a year, I've not had a lot to say despite all the world's chaos. My brain can be chaotic enough without adding the worlds in.
A song came out in 2020 by my favourite band and a lyric in it says 'maybe I'm flawed, but I do exist' never before has a lyric stood out to me like this one does.

I have a house full of flaws but I'm still existing in this mad mad world. Yes, I may be having a identity crisis, I may not know who I am anymore but I guess I'll be a work in progress as the days, months, years go by.

I won't lie, I've felt a bit worthless for a while, like if I ran off somewhere not many people would notice. That's not true, some people would. I think I need to remind myself that value isn't measured in the amount of people you have in your life. Value and worth comes from within.

I have a tendency to live in the past, I miss the people and friends I had when I was in college, that time meant a great deal to me. But I'm not there anymore, that me isn't this me, those people aren't the people they were I imagine but whose people helped shape this person. Its a bit mind trippy but true. Like I say I'm a work in progress, like the rest of us.

A lot of moving forward and growing is reminding yourself of the nows and futures rather than the yesterday's and years ago.

Love,
2021 Beth

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel. I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie...

This fat chick's gotta get fit!!

18. My loves, I have something to share with you... First of all I'm listening to You Me At Six - Room To Breathe and I can't believe how different they look and kinda sound! I like it though. Weird how I loved this band back in the day and it's been years since I've heard their stuff, thanks Kerrang for playing them on the radio a bunch of times today :) I'm also listening to a bit of We Are The Ocean, now I've never listened to these before and I kinda like the sound of them, not overly fussed though to be fair. Right then, as you can see by the title of this blog, I've got to get fit!! After talking to my work colleague/friend Audrey (hi Audrey if you're reading this) on Monday and Tuesday I have decided to enter the Run For All 10K in Hull on the 14th June 2015...I know what you are thinking, I won't do it but please, please believe in me, please support me. I've told 4 people so far and the reactions weren't fantastic, in fact the...

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him. I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes. I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music. But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid. An influx of...
