I haven't been posting as much lately, I say lately it's been basically this entire year, because I am at a complete loss of what to say. I am a writer, that's what I get paid for, it's what I've always done. When everything else has failed me, words never have, and yet I find myself at a total loss for them and that's really weird for me. I just don' know what to say to you guys anymore. I think this is partly because I have a very creative job and I expend most of my creative energy and I think its partly because I've run out of ideas. And that makes me really sad.

Let's Get Real: Still Effin' Lost

Let's Get Real: Still Effin' Lost

11 months ago I wrote a post called Let's Get Real: I'm Lost (read it here). In that post I talked about how I was feeling after finishing university and that I really didn't know exactly what it is that I wanted to do with my life. I felt really lost, and if I'm honest, scared. Well it's been nearly a year since that post, a year I've spent thinking about nothing but what to do with my life, except now I'm a year older, I'm no closer to knowing what I want out of my life and now I'm terrified.

This is gonna sound really over dramatic but stick with me here, I'm painfully aware that I'm going to die one day, I'm also painfully aware that I have no idea when that will be and I'm really scared that I'm going to die before I've achieved all the things I want to. I think about that every single day.  But here's where things get really messed up and complicated because how can I possibly work towards anything if I don't know what I'm working towards? This is a question that has kept me up at night and still does. At this point it just feels like all I'm doing is wasting my own time and that's probably the scariest thing, because a year has just gone and I can't even tell you what I've achieved in that year. I don't know. I just feel that at 25 years old I should have my life together, at least a little bit, and I should have more of an idea of what I want and I just don't - Sidenote: should is a really horrible word! -  don't get me wrong I have taken some positive steps this year but it doesn't feel like enough.

Life is a scary old thing, and the scariest thing about it is that it ends, usually before we're ready for it. I'm really sorry that this post has been super depressing and moany. Talk about first world problems. It's something I've been thinking about for a while now, well nearly a year, and I just wanted to get it off my chest.

My name is Lauren, I love music, fashion, musicals, make up, painting my (very short) nails, reading and travelling to name but a few of my interests so this blog will probably be a mixture of  all those things. I am a second year English student and have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. I've started this blog to see if I'm any good at this writing mallarky.

Check me out on twitter, facebook, Bloglovin, instagram & pinterest.
