Candle Wishlist - Flamingo Candles

one//two//three//four//five
I have a confession to make, I LOVE candles. I love the way they look and obviously a lovely scent doesn't hurt anyone! As I am moving house in the next month, I am on the hunt for bits to make my new place feel more homely and I feel like candles do just that. I have heard nothing but good things about Flamingo Candles and I can't wait to get my hands on some of their square jar candles! These would look gorgeous on any surface and when the candle is all burnt out the jars can be used to store little bits in. 

Have you ever had a Flamingo Candle? What is your favourite scent? Let me know in the comments section below!

January Positivity


One of my new year’s resolutions for this year was to ‘be more positive’ and so far it’s not going all that well. However, all that is about to change because I realised that it is a complete waste of energy to sit and dwell on all the bad things that have happened/could happen/may never happen and instead I should wake up each morning with a smile and a positive outlook that today is going to be great! All this is helped by the fact that the calendar I got for Christmas this year has a new positive thought/saying for each month. So, I have this idea that I am going to start a little monthly series where each month I photograph the saying and write a post to go with it. I’m not 100% sure what each post will contain as I have no specific plans but I think I am going to use it as a place to share my positive thoughts and maybe things I want to achieve that month. Sort of like a monthly goals post but not quite.

With that in mind, here are the things I want to achieve in January:
  • 300 page views for the month on my blog
  • Publish 15 posts
  • Spend more quality time with my boyfriend
  • Work harder in uni
  • Start a happiness jar
  • Laugh more


I think this will do for now as I only have 2 more weeks to accomplish these. I will be counting page views from the 1st January to the 31st January and I hope to see 300 there. For some this may seem small but for me it is definitely something to work towards! I’m excited to see how I get on and will be back at the start of February with another positive post!


Do you have any specific things you would like to achieve in January? Do you have any ways to achieve a more positive outlook on life? Let me know in the comments section below!

My 5 Favourite Posts

I thought I would do something a little bit different today and do a round-up of 5 of my favourite posts that I have written. I think I have seen some people do this on their own blogs and I have definitely seen people do 'monthly round-ups' similar to this! However, I do not post nearly enough to make this a monthly feature so I thought I would just cover what I have blogged so far! 


First up we have my 101 in 1001 post! This is one of my all time favourites (and yours too according to Google Analytics). I love a good list and after seeing Becky Bedbug write her posts I couldn't not write a list of my own! So far I have crossed off a few things but I am hoping to cross off a lot more soon!


Next we have the photo's I took on my holiday to Thassos, July 2014. This post is on here because I am super proud of the photo's I took whilst I was there, especially my dragonfly photo, but you'll have to go read the post to see that one!


I really enjoyed taking part in the campaign to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society as it is a charity very close to my heart and something I feel needs more attention! I wrote a post about My Favourite Memories to help raise awareness and money for the charity! A couple of other bloggers joined in too and wrote their own post. There's still time if you want to join in yourself!

The next post is also charity related and one I feel definitely does not have enough attention or awareness! The name is Post Pals and you can find out more about the charity from my original post but basically it's a way to send gifts and letters to children with disabilities and illnesses. It's such a lovely cause and one I fully support!


Last of all is actually the first post I wrote when I restarted my blog! The Self Love Tag was one I really enjoyed writing and I am all about self love and being confident in yourself. This was a lovely tag to do and really made me think about ways to love myself and what makes me happy!

Which posts have been your favourite to write? And read? I'd love to read them so leave a link in the comment section below! Do you like round-up post's like these?

10 Things To Do This Autumn


I’ve noticed the season seems to have changed to Autumn over night! Leaves have turned brown/orange/yellow and have fallen off the trees and the air definitely seems to have more of a chill to it than last month. With this in mind, I have decided to create a 10 things to do this autumn list, similar to the one I published for summer. I’m giving myself until the 1st December to complete this list as December signals winter to me! This season I am only planning 10 as I have started my third year at university and have a lot of work to be done before Christmas. Some of these things you will have seen featured in my 101 in 1001 list. So here goes! 
  1. Go to the park to feed the ducks
  2. Write 1000 words of my dissertation
  3. Visit three new places (and take my camera)
  4. Get my hair cut
  5. Write three letters to children from the Post Pals website (read my post about this here)
  6. Order my provisional driving license
  7. Book my Christmas holiday!
  8. Make popcorn in a pan and watch a movie
  9. Carve a pumpkin
  10. Learn to cook chilli

So these are the ten things I hope to accomplish this autumn. The list doesn’t seem too long and definitely feels doable to me. I’ll report back in December to see how I got on! Do you have a list of things to do this autumn? Let me know in the comments section below!

25 Things To Do This Summer REVISED

So, the start of September signals the end of summer to me, although I personally felt summer had ended way back at the start of August this year. I think this was due to my holiday at the start of July and then feeling like I was running out of time until university started again. But now I know I’m running out of time and I don’t really know how to feel about it. But anyway, today I will be re-posting my 25 things to dothis summer list and crossing out the ones I accomplished.

1) Finish writing my diary of my holiday to Thassos and create a scrapbook to go with it.
2) Have a girl’s night with my friends either in town or at my house when I move in.
3) Go to Alton Towers with Jordan, Shan and Sam
4) Get my hair cut
5) Spend the day with my mum
6) Have a games night with Jordan
7) Make a list of 100 facts about me (and publish here) The post is in my drafts waiting for photo's.
8) Go swimming
9) Visit Wales for the day and explore a new place
10) Revisit Warwick Castle on a sunny day and take better photo’s
11) Have a weekend away (maybe York?)
12) Spend a day baking and decorating buns!
13)Buy a slow cooker
14) Go for a picnic in the park
15) Feed the ducks
16) Go shopping in London
17) Read at least 10 books
18) Buy a play pen for my Russian Dwarf Hamster Humbug
19) Go on a few bike rides with Jordan
20) Plan/book our New Year’s holiday
21) Plan/book our Christmas shopping trip to Liverpool
22) Learn to cook something new
23) Hold a giveaway on my blog
24) Start my savings again
25) Organise my new bedroom!

So out of 25 I managed to complete 4 things. That is really not very good at all. I have had well over a month to complete this list and I know it isn’t a serious list that I had to religiously stick to, but seeing how little I managed to do compared to what I wanted to achieve has made me think I have wasted my summer a little bit. I have been working quite a lot recently so that could explain it and I haven’t had very much money to live off but I could have easily organised my new bedroom or had a games night as both those things are free.

Did you manage to do everything you wanted to this summer? Did you make a list of things you wanted to do? If you did, leave a link below and let me know how you got on!

Saving Money at Unversity Top Tips


Following on from the University Mini Series I started last week I am back with a new post all about saving money as a student. This is super important as once the money is gone, it’s gone and overdrafts are scary things! So the tips are as follows:

1) Smart price is your new best friend.

2) Freeze your bread if you aren’t likely to use a whole loaf in one week, or buy a smaller loaf. This saves on throwing out mouldy food. 

3) Buy fruit and veg from markets or veg stalls. Buying from these places is not only good for local businesses but also better for you as the fruit is a lot cheaper.

4) Learn to cook. One thing I learnt to make is homemade chips in the oven. One large potato from a market can cost as little as 20p and can make enough chips for 1-2 people.
          
5) When buying fabric softener, pour three quarters of it into a separate bottle and fill the original bottle with water. This works exactly the same as the original fabric softener it just lasts 4 times as long

6) Buy a money box you can’t get into! I bought a money box you can only open with a tin opener and started putting loose change in there after I’d been to town or shopping and it started filling up pretty quickly. I had over £60 in just a couple of months. This is a great way of saving for when your bank balance is looking dismal.

7) Student discount. Need I say more?

The next few tips are more along the lines of earning extra money rather than saving money but it all helps in the long run to try keep you out of your overdraft.

1) Aside from watching your pennies the best advice I have for saving money (or earning more shall I say) is a part time job. Get involved with the Student Ambassadors scheme at your university or apply for jobs working within the students union. These pay more than regular jobs and often the work is more flexible so you can avoid clashing with work with lectures.  

2) If you are doing an English/creative writing/journalism degree or if you enjoy writing, look up iTrigga. This is a company that hire you to work from home writing short advertising articles on different products. I am unsure of the pay but I imagine it is all good experience that is relevant to your course and will help to keep you earning money. It may also give you an idea of the career you want to pursue in the future. You have to send off a sample of your written work to the company to see if it meets their standards and then based on that they will employ you.

3) Install Qmee to your browser. If you search a lot through google this is a great one for you. You search as normal and sometimes an advert will appear in the sidebar of your search results with an amount next to it (i.e 6p). If this is relevant to your needs click this and 6p will be added to your Qmee piggy bank. There is no minimal amount you can withdraw from Qmee and it can be withdrawn straight to your paypal account. This is a great tool to use as you are saving as you go, albeit very small amounts but it all adds up in the end.

I hope this was helpful to you, it’s a little different to last week’s post but also very useful to know! If you have any further tips to add please leave them in the comments box!

University Tips - Moving into Halls of Residence

This is the start of a University series on my blog. I will be posting about what to take, tips for moving into halls and tips for moving into a house. I will add in anything I feel is important to know!




I have been at Staffordshire University for three years now and in September I will be entering my fourth. The reason I’ve been there so long is because I had what is known as a ‘false start’. This is where you apply to study one course but find it isn’t for you and switch to another course. I completed one year of an Early Childhood Studies degree and then switched to Film Production Technology. I have lived in halls and in a house so I have experience with both

If you are starting university in September then my advice for you is as follows:
Join the Facebook groups for your chosen university/accomodation – post an introductory post to who you are, what you will be studying and where you will be living! This is a great way to find people from the same area/course/halls as you and an excellent way of making friends.

Talk to as many people as you can before you go! – This is something that really helped me before I moved in. I found all my flatmates and spoke to them loads before moving in so once we all got there it felt like we’d known each other ages and all slotted together to form a group. I also spoke to people from my course which meant I recognised some faces when I attended the welcome week activities for my course!

Bring some things to decorate your room. – I think this is essential. You need to make your bedroom into a place you want to be and somewhere you feel comfortable. I didn’t unpack my things for about a month when I first moved in and I hated being in my bedroom, it wasn’t comforting and it just meant I had a rough few weeks. Once I had unpacked I felt much more comfortable and more accepting of the fact that this is where I will be living for the next 9 months.

Don’t visit home before Christmas. – This one’s a little bit tricky I suppose but I would recommend not going home until Christmas. This is because the first three months are crucial for making bonds with people and finding your feet living away from home. If you go home every weekend you are likely to miss out on a lot of activities within the friendship group and you also won’t feel as independent.

Make sure attend lectures (and actually pay attention). – This one sounds so obvious but it’s something that a surprising amount of people don’t do. It’s all well and good to go out partying every night and hang out with your friends until the early hours but if that mean’s missing your 9am lecture, is it worth it in the long run? Make notes and re-read them a few days later to see if you still understand. This is your future and you need to work for it. First year doesn’t count towards your overall grade but it is still very important as it covers all the basics you need to know for the rest of your degree.


I do have a lot more to say on this subject but I will save it for now. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! I am happy to help, it’s a very exciting time in your life so be prepared for a truly great 3 years!

The Liebster Award


This is actually the second time I have been nominated for this award but I deleted the original post when I restarted my blog earlier this year. I was really happy to be nominated again, this time by the lovely Hera from Hello Hera.

The rules this time round seem to differ slightly to the original one I was tagged in but I will adhere to the rules stated in Hera’s post. 

So here are the rules:
1) Post the award on your blog
2) Thank the blogger who awarded you and provide a link to their blog
3) Write 11 random facts about yourself
4) Nominate 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers
5) Answer the 11 questions asked by the blogger who presented you with the award
6) Ask 11 questions for the bloggers you nominate to answer.

It all seems very focussed on the number 11! So let’s get started.

11 Random Facts About Me
1) I used to be left handed before I was hospitalised with pneumonia when I was two years old, the doctors assumed I preferred my right hand and placed the splint and drip on my left hand. I had to learn to use my right hand for everything during my stay and now I am right handed. Weird!

2) Following my recent holiday to Greece (June 2014, photo’s here) I seem to have caught the travel bug and after never having flown before, I now want to fly everywhere and visit everywhere!


3) I study Film Production Technology and Staffordshire University and I think I regret this decision a lot. Not the decision to go to university, just the decision of which course to study. Choose wisely!

4) I rarely wear make-up (except mascara, eye liner and lipstick on a night out) and I desperately want to change this. I just need someone to help me pick products and shades that suit me, and then show me how to apply it!

5) I am the second child of 4 children and would say I am the most spoilt, not by my parents necessarily but by everyone in my life. I’m not complaining though!


6) I am allergic to cats but I wouldn’t like them anyway even if I wasn’t. I am not an animal lover at all. Except for one special little bug in my life, my hamster (I think there’s a question about pets below so more on him later).

7) I once scored 100% on an essay I wrote the night before the deadline and thought for sure I’d failed.

8) I am far better at written assignments than practical ones which is why the third year of my degree scares me as, although there is a lot of writing involved, there is a LOT of practical work to go with it which I am just no good at.

9) I am still quite new to the blogging world and would love some blogging friends in my area! I live in Stafford, Staffordshire so anyone from around there send me a tweet!

10) I have recently become obsessed with youtube and spend most of the day watching vlogs, hauls and my favourites get ready with me videos!

11) (This writing facts about myself is really hard…) I have naturally ginger hair but much prefer it when it’s dyed purple. However, I have had to stop dying my hair in an effort to grow it to a much longer length. It’s a very slow process!

That was very tough! All my facts are quite long winded too, sorry guys! Now onto the questions Hera asked.

Hera's Questions 
What was the last thing you ate? – the last thing I ate was a homemade cupcake I made yesterday. My boyfriend brought it up to me whilst I was having a lie down due to a migraine, the little cutie.

Long nails or short nails? – I love the look of long nails more so than short but every time my nails grow long the snap off at work. I would say middle length nails are best though!

What time is it right now? – The time is 00.56am Friday 15th August (although by the time this goes live it will be a very different time altogether!)

When was the last time you went on holiday and where? – Ooo I didn’t realise this would be a question! The last time I went on holiday was June 22d 2014 when I went to Thassos, Greece for two weeks and spent my 21st birthday there too. Just my luck to spend my birthday in a country that doesn’t celebrate birthday’s though.

Favourite Disney film? – Has to be Cinderella doesn’t it! I used to watch it every single day when I was younger, and also played one of the ugly sisters in an assembly in primary school.

Any pets? – Yes! Just the one, my lovely little Russian Dwarf Hamster Humbug! I love him so much, he’s just the cutest!


How long have you been blogging for? – Well, I have been blogging in total for over a year now but I recently decided my nail blog just wasn’t enough to fill my interests so I deleted everything and started again with the blog I’m writing now. I feel so much happier now that I am not contained to just one niche and I am able to write all the things I want to.

How long was your longest break from blogging? Hours? Days? Etc. – My longest break has to be a few months as I was stuck with where I wanted my blog to go. I didn’t want to start a new blog and lose interest again if it didn’t work out how I wanted so I took a few months to sort out where I wanted it to go before starting up again.

What colour is your hair? – Natural redhead.

Favourite scent/smell? – Ooo, this is a tough one! My Flirty Alice perfume is one of my favourite smells but then my boyfriend’s Hugo Boss aftershave is pretty nice too! And the smell of Christmas, the wrapping paper, new things, food. I think its Christmas. Christmas is my favourite smell!

Your biggest achievement? – That’s a tough one! I really don’t know this one at all. Nothing is coming to my mind as something I have achieved but I’m sure there’s lots of things! I can’t answer this one, sorry!

My questions to those I am about to nominate are:
1) How long have you been blogging?
2) Who was your inspiration for starting a blog/what was the reason you started blogging?
3) Where in the world would you most like to visit?
4) Do you have any pets?
5) What is your favourite colour?
6) What was your most favourite blog post you have ever written?
7) (This one isn't really a question but I thought I would stick it in anyway) Check out my Favourite Memories for Alzheimers post and write one of your own!
8) How many siblings do you have?
9) Do your friends and family know about your blog?
10) If you could guest post on any blog, which would it be and why?
11) What is your favourite food?

These were all very random questions but just go with it! Next up are my nominees. I haven’t actually got 11 people to nominate, I have 4 so if you want to take part then go ahead and say I nominated you!

My Favourite Memories - The Alzheimers Society

Today I was asked by a friend to share a photo on Facebook related to one of my favourite memories and accompany that picture with the caption:

‘’To help lead the fight against dementia, to end the distress it causes, take action and raise awareness and money for Alzheimer's Society. The idea is to post a picture related to one of your favourite memories and make a donation by texting 'ASFM90' followed by the amount to 70070. So for example: ASFM90 £2’

I thought to myself ‘why stick to Facebook? Why not blog about it too?’ So that’s what this post is going to be about, my favourite memories and the intention of raising awareness and funds for a charity close to my heart!



I have seen someone close to me go through the stages of dementia and have seen how it affects every aspect of their lives, from simple things like forgetting your cup of tea to more advanced stages such as forgetting how to walk/talk/feed yourself. It is truly a horrific thing for any person to go through. In my case, my nana forgot who I was and actually thought I was her sister (her sister as a child that is) and used to frequently ask me what I had done to my hair as it was ‘different to normal’. Sadly my nana passed away about 3 years ago and by this time she lived in a home and required a lot of care.


However, this post is about my favourite memories photo’s that are related to those memories so first up we have this photo that was taken a few days ago of my two brothers, my sister and me. This photo was taken by my dad in my kitchen and isn’t exactly related to a specific memory but it does remind me of all the fun things we have done as a family such as days out, games nights and Christmases. Believe it or not, the giant at the back is the youngest at only 14 but dwarfs us all!


 Second we have this photo I took on my recent holiday to Thassos, Greece (more photo’s here). This is such a good memory because it’s the first time I’ve been on holiday by myself and also the first time I have ever been on an aeroplane! The whole flying aspect of going on holiday really blew my mind. Being above the clouds was such a surreal experience I don’t think I’ll ever forget it! The holiday itself was amazing, I celebrated my 21st birthday in another country and spent 2 weeks by the sea, it was gorgeous.


The last memory I am going to talk about is the time my sister visited me at university and we went to the karaoke night at the SU bar. This is one of my favourite memories because it was lovely to see my sister come out of her shell a bit more and have a first-hand experience of what university is like before she starts in September.


What are your favourite memories? Share them in the comments section below and if you write a similar blogpost then send me the link so I can read them too! Don’t forget to donate to The Alzheimer's Society by texting 'ASFM90' followed by the amount to 70070. So for example: ASFM90 £2’

Thassos 2014

So as you may have noticed, I have not posted in a while! This is because I was away on holiday to Thassos, a small northern Greek island. It was absolutely gorgeous and today I am sharing with you a few of the photo's I like the best from a photography stand point. I am planning on sharing other photo's in the future of certain days out etc. so look forward to those! This is a very photo heavy post so i'm keeping the writing short. 











Let me know what you thought of the photo's in the comments section! Which one is your favourite? Have you ever visited the island? Would you like to?

The Self Love Tag

Hey guys, I recently restarted my blog up after a long break of not posting and I have decided to switch things up a bit. I’ve changed the name and URL of my blog to be more of a ‘free’ blog in terms of the posts I write. I will be doing personal, wish lists, lifestyle, nail art, film and maybe some beauty posts thrown in there too. I need this to be a space to write what I want to write, not necessarily fit into any specific genre.

So with that I am going to fill in this self-love tag I saw a while back. I haven’t been tagged necessarily and I can’t remember where I saved it from but I thought I’d give it a go regardless. Here goes!



The rules are as follows:
Answer all of the below questions in a blog post.
Then nominate other bloggers to do the tag.

1. What does Self-love mean to you?
Self-love has the obvious meaning of loving yourself but I also think it means accepting who you are and what you are. If you don’t like something about yourself and you can change it, then why haven’t you? If you don’t like something about yourself and you can’t change it then there’s no point worrying about it. Accept yourself and realise you are you for a reason.

2. What is your favourite way to pamper yourself?
I love settling down with a book, hot chocolate and a face mask! Time to myself means a lot as I have a lot of stuff to do with working part time and also being in university full time with a boyfriend on the side. It’s a lot to take on and it’s good to have some me time! I also love painting my nails, I always feel better with nice nails!

Using Soap and Glory face mask
3. What are your three favourite hobbies/ pass times that make your soul feel on fire?
I love reading! I’ll read anything and everything. I can spend all day curled up in my bed with a bar of chocolate and a good book! As I mentioned in the question above, I love painting my nails too! I like to get creative and this is a simple thing that gets my creativity flowing. My third hobby I would say is writing. I write short stories sometimes and hide them in notebooks no one will ever read. It’s nice to get them written down without anyone having to see them.

4. What movie always puts you in a good mood when you’re not in the greatest mood?
I don’t really have a specific film if I’m honest. My preferences change day to day but you can bet anything I’ll fall asleep regardless of what I put on!

5. Who do you trust SO MUCH that you would easily believe in anything and everything they said?
I don’t know if I trust someone that much, but I believe my boyfriend most of the time because he always checks his sources when he finds something out! Literally, any article he sees if it sounds not 100% true he’ll check it out.

6. What quote totally motivates you?
I don’t know if it’s a quote or where it comes from but ‘nothing is impossible’ I think is a good thing to stick by. You just have to try your best at everything you do and then you will get the results you deserve.

7. When was the last time you took yourself on a date? What did you do?
This would have to be never, I don’t really do things by myself as I get anxious but if I were to take myself on a date it would probably be just to the cinema to watch a film. It wouldn’t be anywhere for a long time as I don’t like being out and about on my own, I’d prefer to have someone with me.

8. What make-up or beauty product makes you feel like a million bucks?
Lip products! I always have Vaseline, Babylips (Cherry), the Barry M green lipstick or my newest Rimmel lip crayon on me at all times. (Lipstick and lip crayon for nights out mostly).

Me and Jordan (boyfriend) at the SU Cops and Robbers fancy dress night.
9. What is the last thing you did for someone else that made you feel amazing?
I have been helping the people I live with with their university assignments a lot recently. It’s really geeky but I love Harvard referencing so I’ve been helping them understand it and checking they’ve done it properly. I love it, what can I say!

10. Do you feel comfortable with and without make-up on? Why?
I feel comfortable without make up more times than with. I don’t like wearing it through the day, only special occasions if I’m going out somewhere or on a Friday or Tuesday night when I go out with my friends. I feel comfortable wearing it too though, don’t get me wrong, I just think that I don’t need it to be comfortable with my appearance.

11. What piece of advice would you give a child about to grow up with the pressures of today’s media and its crushing expectations?
Just be comfortable and confident in your own skin because no matter what you do someone will put you down. As long as you are happy with you, no one else matters.

12. What song puts you in a good mood every time?
Don Broco – Thug Workout
Wiley – Can you hear me
Hadouken – Get Smashed Gate Crash
Those are probably the three songs that put me in an instant happy mood! (Too indecisive to just pick one, sorry guys!)

13. What is the best advice someone gave you or you realized about life?
If they’re bitching to you, they’re bitching about you. People always love to talk about other people.

14. Who makes you giggle like a giggle monster?
No one specific, but when you make me laugh, I will laugh until it’s not funny anymore and then laugh some more. There’s no stopping me when something has tickled me.

15. What is something about society that bugs you that you wish didn’t?
A lot of things bug me that I wish didn’t. But mostly I suppose people getting in other people’s business. Just leave people to live their lives and you live yours. I mean, I wish it didn’t happen but I suppose I will settle for it just not annoying me anymore.

16. What is one of your favourite things to do on the weekends?
I like to go on day trips to places I’ve never been before and explore! I recently went to Warwick Castle for the first time (blog post to come) and it really was a great day out! Also one day last year I went on a spur of the moment trip to Liverpool. It's such a lovely city and I loved being by the water!

Boat in the Dock's at Liverpool


17. What is something you’re really proud of that you’ve done?
I’m really proud of an essay I wrote in my first year of university. It was a logbook based on one of my favourite films Moonrise Kingdom. I got 100% which my lecturer said is the only 100% he’s ever given out in the 7 years he’s been teaching. It made me think, if I can do that, I can do anything!

18. What is one of your favourite memories with one of your friends?
One of my favourite memories is with my mum (does this count?). We went to York for 3 days for my 18th birthday and it really was such a lovely mini break. It was nice to spend some time just me and my mum as we never get that time together, especially not now I live 100 miles away! Unfortunately I cannot find a single picture from the trip of me and my mum together!

19. What advice would you give someone who needs a boost in confidence?
That you can do anything you set your mind too. Work really hard and it will pay off!

20. Lastly, how do you plan on investing in self-love?
I plan on taking more of my own advice and accepting the things I cannot change about myself. I’m working on the things I can change so I guess I’m half way there. I need to take more me time and concentrate on what makes me happy rather than trying to please everyone else.

If you made it through that then you deserve a prize!
