Amy Pollock Just blog about anything interesting that you see or hear or even that just pops into your head, whether its deep and intellectual or just silly and really funny, because chances are if your friends are the target demographic then should enjoy having an insight into what you find interesting :) write what you feel, and if some people don't like it then who cares because it's your blog not theirs!

What great advice :) i asked my facebook friends what i should blog about, yes I am that desperate for inspiration, awful, and the best answer I got was this one. Amy's response is honest and really what a good blog should be. I wish I naturally had the confidence to blog from my heart about what I saw and did, but I'm so scared of not being successful or what i write not being good enough that I have put this off for years.

My last blog post was almost two years ago. This time two years ago I kept a journal that i wrote in almost every day, and there was so much going on in my little life that I was writing interesting and 'deep' stuff all the time, I mastered the technique of slowing my thoughts down to the point where they flowed from the pen as soon as i thought them. It was an exciting, but stressful time in my life, and with all the things I have been through in the last two years, my life now, which is settled in comparison, comes as a welcomed changed. However settled doesn't make for writing as good as the writing of a 19year old with serious issues!

That's why i think i have 'writer's block' because even if I could bring myself to write every day again, and something interesting happened to me every day, I don't think most of it could ever compare to that time of my life when i was a messy little girl who couldn't let go of a bit of a dark past and had problems coming at me from all angles.

I'm going to try my best not to compare my life now to my life then any more, because as much as my writing was alot better, I have to remind myself that I was incredibly unhappy with myself, and to be perfectly honest with everyone else too. I am it seems, in a much better place now. I have managed to get myself as far as University (studying politics) and a week away from my 21st birthday without totally fucking my life up, and for that I have to congratulate myself.

I'm going to do my absolute best to stick to my resolution and write on this thing every time I think of something to write about.

Thank you Russell for encouraging me and thank you Amy for inspiring me :)
