Ok so I saw something today and it really bothered me and basically I'm going to rant about it. So in my class, we have to do these booklets about careers etc and it's all about planning your life. I don't mean like 'I want to go to university and become a director and get married and live in London' I mean like 'This is my dream job which I will have achieved by this date and if I don't achieve it, this is what I'll do instead which isn't as good'.  This just made me so mad. Why should we have to plan every tiny detail of our lives? What happened to mystery and living in the moment?!! I understand and agree that it's good to have a vague plan but you don't need to plan every second of the next 40 years out!! That's so boring and will just end in disappointment! You don't know what's around the corner! No one does! I understand what they tried to do but personally I think they failed miserably. I love living in the m...

2015. A new year, a new me. Yes, I did just say that and I mean it. 2015 is the year I turn 18 and turning 18 means I'll legally be an adult. And that terrifies me. I don't understand how so much time has passed since I was playing The Simpsons Hit and Run on my PS2 or acting out Harry Potter with my friends. It feels like yesterday that I was starting finishing primary school and starting grammar school. How has all this time passed? How am I almost an adult? Soon it won't be illegal for me to drink, there'll be no risk when going out to clubs, it will be normal and that's scary. I'm scared for what everyone will except of me, I'll be the same person but I'll be 18 so I'll just sound older. It seems like there's a huge jump between 17 and 18 and I'm not ready to take that jump yet. I think I'm most nervous about my 'career', now I'm young and foolish thinking I could be famous but when I'm 18, I don't know if ...

Happiness is something everyone wants but doesn't realise how easy it is to have. So many things bring happiness and if people took more time to appreciate the little things then maybe they would all be a bit happier. This sounds like an angry rant but it's not, it's more of a desperate plea to the world. All I want in life is to be happy. I think a lot of other people share that hope. I don't understand why people will constantly make others sad or angry and just plain unhappy if they themselves want to be happy. Why would you not want others to be happy? By bringing others happiness, it usually makes us feel happier so why wouldn't you do it. I don't understand why people can be so mean and cruel to each other. I'm not talking about wars and terrorist attacks, although whats up with them?!! I mean plain and simple bullying. Most people have been bullied and most people bully others, sometimes without even meaning to. And I hate that this is the world we ...

Hey! So for my fourth post, I thought that I should actually tell you a bit about myself! 1. Do you have a middle name? Yeah, it's Olivia. 2.What was your favourite subject in school? Definitely Moving Image Arts and maybe Maths?? 3. What's your favourite drink? Probably Fanta Ice Lemon but also love lemon and lime water! 4. What's your favourite song at the moment? Not sure, either Dancing Shoes or From The Ritz To The Rubble by the Arctic Monkeys or anything from Taylor Swift's new album, 1989! To be fair, I love everything by the Arctic Monkeys so.. 5. What would you name your children? I'm not sure if I want to have kids but I would want to give them really cool, random names like Valentina or Sephora for a girl or Tiger for a boy. I think I would definitely name them after someone! 6. Do you participate in any sports? ..Don't be silly. 7. What's your favourite book? WELL I don't have a favourite book but I would have multiple different book series t...

Love is weird isn't it? Like you follow the general format of find someone, fall in love, get married, have kids blah blah blah. But life's not like that, you're gonna go through so many people in your hopes to find "the one". And is it worth it? I'm not sure. I'm 17 and romance and love is never been a big issue to me. I just don't want to get married and have kids etc, but this isn't about me. Like who says you have to be a certain age to find "the one"? You may find them when you're 4 or when you're 14 but people will dismiss it as just a crush until you're in your 20's and what's that about. Why are you only allowed to start to be certain about things you want in life when you're an adult? Why do people state that kids who say they're gay, are just going through a phase, no. How would you know what that kid is feeling. Leave them to feel what they feel and accept it and believe them. This has gone like ...

I just made my first post but loads of people from my twitter account started viewing it and I got so excited so I'm writing again. I haven't planned this, no idea what I'm going to say so, fingers crossed. Social media is weird isn't it? Like we post random things about ourselves and our lifes and other people agree or disagree and we all talk about it but I have no clue who I'm actually talking to. Neither do you. I could be a catfish. The person you're tweeting could be a catfish. You could be a catfish. Miley Cyrus could be a catfish. We don't know and we naturally assume and I have no clue where this is going but I'm not a catfish. I wanted to talk about what I was ranting about on twitter the other day. About life. Basically, I'm pretty weird. I'm just life everybody else but I feel different and I suppose that's good yeah? I know everyone says they want to change the world etc but I really want to and I feel like I can. (Look out m...

Hey, I'm Charis and this is new to me. I've wanted to start a blog for a while but never really got round to it..until now. So I'm obsessed with social media, all links will be somewhere, bare with me, and yeah, that's pretty much it. I don't know what I'm going to post about, whether it's beauty or music or travel or what, but hopefully it will be something. Charis twitter instagram tumblr youtube bloglovin
