The one where: I love my job!

Is it better to do something you love, or learn to love whatever job you do? 

At the mere age of 19, I'm proud to say I've found a job I truly love. It's like I almost wake up every morning and think "Wow! I can't believe I've found one I love so much at such a young age!" I still remember coming in for the interview and instantly feeling like I was at home in the office. Nearly one whole year on and I feel at home even more and I still can't believe how lucky I am to say I work here - my dream job.

Ever since I took English Language in school and started to learn about how different people spoke and why they spoke in that way, I became suddenly interested in the media background of things. Taking up hobbies like writing stories and handing them in to my English teacher for her to mark, or even updating this blog! Writing has and always will be a big passion of mine and probably one of the main reasons I love my job so much. I'm constantly wanting to write the next social media post or type up a new blog post - it's such an interesting job and I love it more and more each day.

One key reason many people like their job is also because of the people they work with. If you love them, it makes your job that tiny bit better. One of my best pals in work is probably Richard (although I love them all) - he brightens up my already bright days and makes me feel at home even more. He's the older brother I always wished for growing up and although he moans at me...A LOT, I know he only means well and is preparing me for future life. I don't think anyone actually realises how happy I am that I didn't go to University! To think I spent many months umm'ing and arr'ing over whether to go to University or not, it's so silly now! I've never been more happy in my life than I am right now. My life is good - I have good people around me and I'm ready to take on the world :-) 

To anyone out there that is wondering whether or not they should take up an apprenticeship in the field they love or go to uni and work hard for 3+ years to maybe not get a job in the end of it, 100% do the apprenticeship! My life has changed drastically since I started this in July and I couldn't be happier. Live for you and follow your dreams. 

Until next time, 

The one where: I think about getting a tattoo

Is a tattoo a bad idea?

So, I've been so busy with work, sorry. Although I'm 100% convinced no one reads this blog, I still want to make time to edit and have fun with it. Like I've said in the past, I want this to be something for me to look back on and remember the good(and bad) times I've had in my life.

Recently, I've been thinking, why not get a tattoo? What do I have to lose? I haven't really thought that much into it. I mean, I'm not doing an entire blog post on it or anything...I would like to get something that meant something to me but at the same time, was silly. So silly that when I look back in five - ten years time, I look at it and think "wow remember how crazy I was trying to be back when I was 19 and attempting to live a care-free life!?".

Tattoos are a topic that often pull up a lot of arguments. Are they attractive? Are they a masculine thing? What will you look like when you're a 75 year old woman(or man) with all these tattoos? I say, you will look like an woman who has actually lived her life! Don't get me wrong, if I saw an older woman with 'love' printed on her knuckles and 'Billy' tattooed to the side of her arm, I'd instantly think 'wow...it's not every day you see something like that'. It's natural to instantly relate tattoos to these huge men with even bigger egos, but tattoos are becoming more and more popular as time goes on.

From A-list celebrities to unknown wanna-bees, people everywhere are jumping on the 'get-a-tattoo' bandwagon and they're heading for the hills! Take a look here at Harry Styles' tattoos. Now, I'm clearly not the best person to be slagging off his tattoos (how I would kill anyone that said a bad word about him) but, did someone let a 3 year old lose on his arm?! Yes, tattoos are a way of showing how you feel without actually showing how you feel (weird, I know) but, c'mon Harry...random squiggly writing above a heart on your left arm, is this really what we are coming to?

It's not only Harry that seems to have lost a train of thought whilst at the tattoo parlour. Miley Cyrus' newest edition to her tattoo family is this beauty. Three questions to ask with this one. 1. Why does it look like she has just drew this on with a biro pen? 2. Is that supposed to be a dog or a cat and 3. Just why Miley, why? Maybe with a little help from her 'fwends' she can learn how to spell, hey?

The word tattoo comes from two major derivations - the Polynesian word 'ta', which means 'striking something' and the Tahitian word 'tatau' which means 'to mark something'. Simple, right? Wrong! These things are staying on our bodies for the rest of our lives, unless we pay even more that the actual tattoo to get them taken off.

Think before you ink. 

Until next time,
