It’s not often I write about personal things on my blog, but today I thought I’d switch it up and tell you all about how I have found living by myself. For the last 26 years of my life, I have lived in the same home. The same four walls and with the same people. My siblings moved out (I am the youngest) and it was then me and my parents for a while. I always felt so comfortable living where I lived, it was home.

If you’re here, then I’m sure at some point you have thought about wanting to quit being a blogger. Honestly, there have been countless times I’ve wanted to give up and delete everything. If you’re not familiar with my blogging journey, I actually did quit my blog years ago. When I first joined WordPress I was a beauty blogger. I didn’t take it too seriously and very rarely posted, but I enjoyed myself. After being bored of what I was doing, I quit for 4 years. When I returned to blogging, I rebranded into the site you see today and haven’t ever regretted it.

I remember when I first started blogging, I had all of these (what I thought) were achievable blogging goals and aspirations of being the next rising blogging star. Now there is nothing wrong with having those goals when you’re a new blogger. In fact having goals and setting milestone markers is something I encourage new bloggers to do. The issue I had, was that my goals were not achievable. Not instantly anyway.

Losing a pet is probably the worst loss I have ever experienced. Before my own dogs passing, I had no idea how it felt. Any other animals I have had in my life have never passed away whilst still being in my family. The last dog I had was given to my auntie because she became too violent with us, so I didn’t know how it felt losing her. But my dog, Honey we had for 14 years. 14 wonderful years of her wagging tail and beaming brown eyes. 14 years of her love and companionship.

I cannot quite believe that my 10 month update has come around so quickly. In one way time has gone so fast and in others it has gone so slow. I started this journey back in April 2021, without any idea how long I would be going for. Looking back at pictures and videos of myself back then is almost like looking at a stranger. I have no idea who that person was. I definitely think this weight-loss and fitness journey has been the best decision I have ever made.
