Chapter 8, 10 happy occurrences.

I noticed my last too post titles ended with 'bitch', I had to resist the urge to triple it, that has nothing to do with the point of this blog.

Anyway, so lately I've been doing an insane amount of thinking and rethinking about myself, the people around me and my life. The out come? I'm starting to feel myself again (took your bloody time...shutup).

SO as everyone seems to be posting positive statuses lately, about the good things that happened during their week, I thought I would post a little blog for mine instead c:

My ten happy occurrences so far this month:

1. I reached a milestone on my Facebook page (photography & art) AND have my first 8 commissions to complete, not only that but my first bit of business!
2. As well as reaching my milestone, I'am also slowly progressing in my art and photography (and any other creative things I try to do) and I can feel my confidence starting to climb. I'm starting to learn how to edit the lighting, perfect angles and scenery for images. I'm also learning how to look at things better when drawing, where I'm going wrong and how to make it better. 
3. I learnt that I'm better at drawing men than women, this is a ridiculous realisation for me as I've never properly drawn a man before. I did this drawing of Ragnar from Vikings (below) and my wonderful JackJack (in other words boyfriend) told me how good I am at drawing guys! He's done nothing but be supportive of me and my art lately, it's making me progress so much more. 

4. Talking of Mr. Jack, nothing has ever made me happier than this boy, but lately our relationship reached an all new high. We reacted better towards each other about so many things, alright I was still grumpy but I blame the hormones. We've had some lovely days together (even though I haven't seen him much recently due to a work trip to London and a first aid course), laughs and he keeps making me feel beautiful and talented.

5.  My book buying/hoarding is getting back to the point of needing to creatively stack them around my room again. Why does it make me happy? Because I'm getting closer to the right amount of books to fill my own library which I WILL have when me and Jack move out. I WILL HAVE IT.

6.  My apprenticeship is nearly over, my portfolio is to a high standard so I'm excited to see if I pass! Which seems extremely likely at this time. When I do finish my apprenticeship I get to carry on working where I do currently and go to a four day week so I can start my own business!

7.  I've started spending time with some old friends again and enjoying every moment of it, making people laugh and just messing around like complete twats. Making new friends in the process and also new food (briscakes).

8.  Today I ate the most amazing chocolate and beetroot cake, made by my work colleague and I got the keep A WHOLE HALF of it!

9.  I visited London for the first time ever and it was amazing (I still need to upload the photos...). It was such a culture shock but oh my goodness china town. Nuff said.

10.  I don't even know what to put as my final happy occurrence.. so many things have happened lately that have made me feel so so soo much better. I guess the best thing I can say is I saw lightening for the first time in my life. I've seen the flash and heard the thunder but never the actual forks or webs of the lightening itself. It was so dramatically beautiful and dangerous looking at the same time. I was so in awe and really wanted to get some photos but I was in the car at the time so I couldn't (plenty of people uploaded photos onto Facebook within like 5 minutes anyway.. how the fuck do they do that so quickly anyways?)

        

 

So there we go my top ten happy stuffs so far this month! c: Why not post your happy moments too? Big or small it doesn't matter, if you can think of at least one thing that's made you smile then you can use it to keep yourself smiling and keep the good times coming. 

Ohh fancy wiseman shit 'n' all that.
