What Do I Believe In?

hello everybody

So, i saw a video on Youtube titled 'What do you believe in?' and it got me thinking about all the things i believe in.

In no way, do i want this post to cause any issues among different opinions, this is just me stating what i believe in and hey, if you believe in something different to me, leave it in the comments below as i would be interested to know what everybody believes in. 

We ARE all entitled to our own opinions right?

anyway, with that being said, I'm going to carry on...

1) I believe in marriage equality- I think that everybody should be able to express their feelings no matter what! I think that marriage of every gender should be accepted because what difference does it make if two men/women get married to each other over a man and a woman marrying each other? Regardless of somebody's sexual orientation or gender, i believe that everybody should have the right to marry the one they love! 

2) I believe that if we have the right mindset and the determination, the possibilities are endless of what we can achieve in our lifetime.

3) I believe that in generations, the power of social media will truly become remarkable- sure social media has a huge effect on modern day life, but i believe that in generations to come, social media will have developed even further into something even more remarkable than it is now!

4) I believe that we are all different, but we are unique- no matter what gender/race/ethnicity we all are, we are all unique and we should all be proud of that! I for one, believe that our differences do not make us stand apart from one another, they bring us together because at the end of the day, we are all humans. 

5) I believe that people care- no matter what problems you are facing, there is always someone that cares about you and will put your needs before their own. They may not be around all the time, but they are closer than you think! They may even be someone you least expected it from. The right times reveal the right people! Just know that there is somebody that does care for you. 

6)I believe that we can change the world- step by step, little by little. The actions of many are helping shape the world into a much better place. This links in the #3 as, as of now, the power that social media has is unbelievable! Social media really does have a huge effect on what shapes the world into the place people dream for it to be- all loving and all happy, and with the actions of some or many, we can change it into that world!

7) I believe that we all have the right to express our beliefs- just like i am doing now while writing this. Everybody has their own beliefs and i think that everybody should have the chance to express them! We may not agree on everything, but that is part of who we are and we should accept that not everybody will have the same beliefs as us!

I could go on for ages listing things i believe in but i want to end with two last things.

1) I believe in MYSELF!- everybody should at least believe in one thing- themselves. This for me is one of the most powerful things to do because if we don't believe in ourselves, what can we truly believe in? Believing in ourselves, gives us the strength and the power to believe that we can do remarkable things to change the lives of ourselves and many others around us.

2) I believe in YOU!- yes you reading this! I believe that no matter what your life is like- whether your totally happy, or your facing some difficult times right now, i believe that you can achieve amazing things with your life. It may not seem like it right now, but i believe that with power, strength and determination, along with the right mindset, i believe that you can do almost anything you put your mind to- just don't give up!

Please comment below and leave a response to what your beliefs are- i would be really interested to see if some of your beliefs are the same to mine or not

One Of My Favourite Places To Go...

hello everybody, 

Now, as i am writing this, i have just returned home from a little jog (not like me at all!)

Like I've just mentioned, me going on a jog voluntarily isn't something which i do on a regular basis. 

While out on my jog, the trail leads to where you can look onto the beach, as there are steps in which you can take to get down onto the beach. 

For me, being somewhere by the sea/ocean is one of the places where i can relax and de-stress. I've found that going on light exercises help keep my anxiety at bay. Now I've not felt like i needed to go somewhere and calm myself down for a while and I've never thought that exercising really helps that much, being that I've been quite calm/relaxed whenever i have done exercise.

Now for me and the school that i go to, my year has mock exams, you know the exams in which prepare you for the real things? in my case, these mock exams were preparing me for my GCSE'S next year. As i have panic attacks and anxiety attacks, being in a hall full of people is very very daunting so i asked to be seated next to the door at the back. 

And of course, fifteen minutes into the exam, i have a panic attack. As to why, i am not entirely sure, i personally think it was the whole factor of being in the hall with everybody else. nonetheless it left me feeling down and in a rubbish mood for the rest of the day! Then on top of that, new exam boards have been issued into departments into the school. I'm terrible at science, always have and i always will! For some reason i was feeling okay about having my science mocks... until we got told that we were switching exam boards which means that half of what we have learnt in year ten is useless. needless to say, over this next week or so i will be teaching myself science :( 

Just being able to be close to the sea is really a blessing. Sometimes i get my blog post ideas when i am calming myself down. It does sound really cliché to say that the ocean is one of my favourite places to go, but it really is! Theres a little bench where you overlook the sea and its quiet,calm and reserved. Only dog walkers or joggers go down the track so it really is somewhere where i can go and relax.  For me, the main thing as to why i go is to rid myself of the anxious feeling that is left behind whenever i have had a panic attack. I go for a run,blast some 5SOS/One Direction and leave all my worries behind. almost as though the sea will wash them away (cliché, i know). 

Now it may not work for everybody, but i do highly suggest that if you are near a beach, or even where you can go for a walk/jog/run then go do it! Sometimes, just being outside and not overthinking your problems does really work! I would also try this if like myself, you experience anxiety attacks/panic attacks. 

I know this blog has been a little bit of a rant in some certain areas but i just thought i would let you know one of my favourite places to go whenever i am feeling down or anxious or i have had a bit of a bad day. 

*I will not be blogging frequently as i normally do (excluding the weeks i have missed previously) as i have exams and i have to be revising as much as i can these next two-three weeks. Of course, once they are over, i will be back blogging very often but there may be gaps in the blogging updates from me. sorry :(*
