Bloggers Block

Recently I've been competing with myself to front up with a great new blog post idea. I've had no inspiration and it feels horrible. Bloggers block is certainly a thing! So here is me having no inspiration to write a post, while writing a post about it. Hmm, I guess that makes sense.

Certainly I am not the best writer. Although I must admit I enjoy writing for this blog. Putting words together, re-arranging, to throw across beautiful messages to readers, even though there are only a few of you, I really do get a buzz from it. If over the course of this only one person reads my scrambles and enjoys it, it'll still be worth it, obviously! If I can make someone else think, "hey I can do that", "Yeah I want to see that and try that" through this blog then I'll be amazed.

Don't jump to any conclusions now, there are definitely exciting things to come. They just take a bit more planning and doing than just typing away my thoughts. They will involve good quality pictures and my amazing chummy! Of course a blog post to look forward to.

Have you ever experienced bloggers block? Although I am only starting, with a total of 13 blog posts to date, I am feeling stuck. Any advice?

Took me by suprise.. An Earthquake!

So a couple of weeks back in July, here in Wellington New Zealand we had a few Earthquakes! Eventually it all settled down. Life went about normally or at least until now; we've just had another reasonably large one on Friday 16th of August. I'd like to share my lil' story and my thoughts about the emotions that come with such an event. 

It measured 6.6 and happened at 2:31 NZ time. (Keep reading, I promise its not an essay on Earthquakes and how they happen!) I was actually at school on the second story of an older building when it hit. It's hard to put into words how scary it was. I've never experienced anything like it. Everyone was screaming and I just recall diving under the desk while the building swayed violently from side to side! It lastest quite long aswell!

Its still kind of a blur, though I do remember many aftershocks following and they are still continuing! It was honestly my worst nightmare for one to hit when I was at school. Guess my nightmare came true! Its horrible when you experience one in a larger building and away from your house and family. Oh to make it worse the phone lines weren't working because of an overload, meh. Last time a big Earthquake hit it was a Sunday and my whole family and I were at home, which was much less scarier!

Anyways, enough with the dwelling! I survived and so did my house, family and friends. No buildings in Wellington collapsed and no one was killed. It really gets me thinking though about how fortunate I am. Its taught me to appreciate everything thing, big or small. How lucky I am to be getting a good education (even though I don't really like school, aha), to have a beautiful family and friends and even to be here, alive. Anything could happen unexpectedly just like this Earthquake and your world could be turned upside down just like that! Never take things for granted lovelies. 

Enjoy and hold on tight to your own journey because you only get one life to live.

Reflecting on July

The month of July has come and gone. It just flew by, I'm sure many of you can relate. This is going to be a sort of 'reflection' post about it. I hope you enjoy the read.

Well where do I begin. Sorry this is going to sound very negative (but I promise there will be a positive outcome later in this post) my month of July was boring. I literally did not do anything, so sadly I have nothing exciting to share with you! I went to school, I was upset about my results, I went on school holidays for 2 weeks and did bugger all. The highlight of my July was definitely going to the cinemas to see Despicable Me 2; which was absolutely adorable, I highly recommend it! 

Now that the definition of my life has been thrown into the depths of the Internet, how about some positivity? Yeah! Personally I am constantly learning from my past; I think its also a typical trait of teenagers, we really are learning day by day. Out of looking back at July, I really want to accomplish bigger and brighter things this August. I may even have to annoy my 5 followers with more motivational posts, sorry guys. On my first motavational post I found it was quite a boost to write it.
.

A big thing for me, especially in the next few weeks, I really need to be motivated to study! I have practice exams which could end up being extremely important. But even with all the studying, I still want to have a life, and enjoy living!! So here is my brighter and positive attitude. I truely believe that if you are positive, good things will come.

Love Dani! x

Feel free to comment as well, I'd love to know how your July was!
