Stress!

Hello,

So it's been a couple of months since I last posted on here... It feels like when life gets stressful or just too much is happening I tend to stop writing. It wasn't unit today and reminding myself that when I'm down and not feeling so great I go to YouTube and /or any of the blogs I follow and it makes me feel better. Also I know that writing down how I feel helps too.

So here it goes...

First off I moved, which is great, it's what I wanted to do but it's been stressful. Getting everything you own together and moving it all and then unpacking everything (I mean it's a lot!) Then around the same time I moved up in my job (temporally) which is also great but works been very stressful as well. I've been given much more responsibly and not a lot a time to complete tasks. Don't get me wrong I love what I'm doing but it just feels like a lot. And of course there is the wedding planning for my friend which is coming up fast. It also seems like a lot of the time to plan for the wedding is around my work and I have to keep changing my schedule.

I just feel overwhelmed and it's scary. I'm normally a very organized person and I just take things one step at a time but it just feels like too much. I know I'm not alone when it comes to feeling this way and there are people out there who are worse off than me. It's a horrible thing to go through.

I'm trying to think of ways to feel calmer, more relaxed. (If you know of any let me know). At night is the worst for me, it's then I tend to think of everything I have to do and the things not going right. For me I find that reading before bed is a good way to think of something else and then when you go to sleep I find myself thinking about the book and not the next day. Another thing I try and do is take a walk outside. Getting some fresh air and exercise has always been a way to relax for me; I just need to get out more! 

I've also been thinking about the name I chose for this blog. At the time I was younger and was just trying to think of anything really. But now that I think of it, it seems a little silly. Things in life aren't always pretty. You get ups and downs; it's what makes life, life! I don't think you would appreciate the good in life as much if there weren’t any hardships.

Again, I'm not saying my life is horrible because it isn't. I have a loving boyfriend who has been there for me for 5 years, a wonderful cat, family. Just sometimes things add up that aren't great and we all need a little help.

This is a blog about my life and what I'm going through, I know this post is a little rambly and long but I just thought I can't be the only one in this. People feel like this a lot and knowing you’re not alone in this is just as helpful.

Life

Hello!

I thought I should take some time and start writing on here again. Life has been pretty busy and I thought I should share it with you. First of all I have a new job in the field I went to school for, so that's pretty great :) I have also just signed a lease for an apartment with my boyfriend and will be moving in March! I'm very excited about this. It has taken a lot of time to get where I wanted to be and it seems like it's all fitting into place.

Another new thing that's happening is one of my best friends is getting married! I was so happy and excited, I'm a bridesmaid and we have been planning for a while now but there is still a lot to do! You don't realize how much there is in planning a wedding until you're involved!

So with all this happening and all at the same time it has been quite a lot. I have also decided that I would like to be in better shape for myself and the wedding. I have signed up at a gym and going to start recording my progress. I also would like to share our ideas for the wedding when it comes to decorations/dresses/etc.

I hope everyone has had a wonder 2013 and looking forward to rest of 2014!
