Giving Up, Not Giving In

(source)

Sometimes giving up is your best option and while that's difficult to admit sometimes, it's true. So here is my list of things I'm glad I gave up:

On that particular guy:

 - He was the love of my very short life and in our time together I had convinced myself he was my one and only and then obviously he left me. I held out hope for him much longer than I care to admit so in the end finally giving up on him was just a massive relief.

Clarinet:

 - I was awful. It took me four years to get to Grade Two and I massacred every piece I ever played!! When my music teacher moved to China (not because against my crimes against music I promise!) this was the sign I needed to to move on

Ballet:

- Firstly you cannot be a twenty one year old ballet dancer unless you are a professional and secondly tutus do not suit anyone over four stone.

Blogging:

- I'm glad I gave up blogging. There, I said it. It had become something that I didn't enjoy anymore. I felt like I had nothing to say and no one wanted to hear it anyway but giving up made me realise how much I missed it so here I am!! 

Chronicles Begin...Again

Hey my beauties.

Yes I know, I know, it's been a while but yeah sometimes life just gets busy, so lets just start again and pretend this is the first time that I have inundated you with my crazy greetings and get down to an old fashioned introduction.

I'm Toyota, nice to meet you, how do you do and all that jazz.

I will let you into a secret...

I do not have all the answers, my life is not perfect. Shock horror I know but why is it that as a child you assume that as an adult you will have life perfectly in order? You will be married by the age of 20, happily living on a diet of cocktails and salad, jogging with a toddler in a pushchair and a baby strapped to your back to your perfectly white pristine house. 

Or not

I'm single, living with my parents and still eating turkey dinosaurs.

So this blog will be a bit of my life and my struggle for the answers as a twenty something living in the real world in (hopefully) a humorous way.

I work (too much), eat (too much also) and play (hard but not enough) while working my way through a university degree. So come drop by and we will work through the crazy together.

Much love

Do you come here often? *wink*

If so then you will notice that things have been updated slightly and I did it all myself (super proud) with some help from my good friend Google.

I now have a blog button which you can pop onto your sidebar if you want, if you do let me know and we can swap! If you would like to make your own then check out these great tutorials that I used to help me (1) & (2). They were really helpful and I am a complete techno fail so really easy

I also managed to make my own links for my social media which I have been trying to do for absolutely ages. It includes my Facebook, Twitter, Bloglovin' and Pinterest so if you would like to check me out then I would be really happy!! Making this was a little bit more difficult (but this tutorial really helped) and I will probably play around with the pictures a bit more!
