Hi!
So, here's a quick message to say Hi and tell you a bit about myself. My name is Jenny Rose, and I come from a small city in Staffordshire called Lichfield. I've lived here all my life and its safe to say it's not the most exciting place ever. Of course, it is very picturesque in parts and there are a lot of events going on, but I'm outgrowing it now.
I'm currently 15 years old, my birthday being 19th March (1999). I have a sister called Liz and she's amazing, I don't know what I'd do without her. We do fight a lot though, mainly on who gets the TV to watch the next episode of 'American Horror Story' (AHS) or 'Orange Is The New Black' (OITNB).
I'm just about to go into Year 11. Exam Year. I'm not looking forward to it one bit, I don't cope well under pressure. This is hopefully going to be a bit of a release from school life.
I don't want to brand my blog, there's not a specific genre of blog this will fall under. I want to include fashion, beauty, lifestyle and discussions. By discussions I mean talking about life- how to cope with stress, mental illness, physical illness, feminism, war, body image, confidence etc. Everyday issues really as i think they're important to discuss and to share opinions on.
I decided to start this blog for a few reasons. Let's make this easier in a list form:
1. I LOVE writing. It's one of those things that I've always done but never really told anyone about. I love knowing that you're thoughts are so unique and writing them down means they are permanent. It's a way of expression and, having most of that stripped from me in school, I generally like to take all the opportunities I'm given.
2. I have this friend called Sarah. She lives in the states and I've never met her, but we met on tumblr. Tumblr is like the first step to a proper blog. I say a proper blog because on Tumblr all I do is hit the reblog button so I feel like I'm not blogging properly. God I love it though, I can spend hours and hours on there- it's just so relatable. Anyway, back to Sarah. I've talked to her about making a blog and YouTube videos for so long and she's always supported my dreams (cheesy but true). She's always been there for me and I trust her more than any of my friends I know in person. She's one of the best things that has happened to me so I wanted to kind of make note of that by making a blog that she can see and be proud of. She inspired to write more too. Thanks Sarah.
3. I like sharing ideas. It's as simple (or complicated?) as that. I want to share my ideas, thoughts and interests with other people who feel the same way as me. I want to teach people things, help people, inspire people and make something of myself. I don't want to be stuck in an office wasting away in a mediocre job never living my life. I want to travel, explore, and enjoy my life. I want to be different and unique and not have any regrets when I'm dying. I want to meet so many people and share things with the world and hopefully this blog will help me do that. I don't expect to become an amazing and successful blogger, of course that would be lovely but this is a place for me to express myself and rant and share my thoughts. It's my own thing, no-one elses. I like the thought of that. This is mine.
4. Photography. I'm obsessed with the idea of giving someone a radical makeup look and expressing my ideas through photography and art. I have so many good ideas (at least I think they're good) that I want to develop. I'll hopefully be able to share these with you as time goes on. In fact I'm going to try and reel my friends in to do some modelling as I try and improve my skills as an artist and in makeup application. I don't want an average job, I want this. At least I think I do, I'm only 15, I have the rest of my life to decide. Who knows which direction I'll take.
5. Expression, Passion. This is a huge part of this blog for me. If I can't express myself or the passions I have then what's the point? I read somewhere 'passion is the key to life'. That quote is the center of my thoughts explained in words. If you don't have a passion for something it doesn't matter. Of course in school you have to do what you're told, get the qualifications even if its hard and you hate it. The stress isn't worth it. Exam results don't define who you are, I'm not saying don't try, they're important for a lot of people but just because you don't do well in exams it doesn't mean you can't do what you aspire to. Anything is possible (unless you want to be a doctor and you get all D's, you're pretty much screwed then).
I know there are probably more reasons that aren't coming to me right now. Those are just a few reasons and thoughts about my life and choices. I hope you read it all if you somehow find me. It means a lot to think that people might be reading this post, and who knows this may be the start of something amazing. Or it might just be another one of my dreams that won't ever come to life, who knows. I'll hopefully post something every Sunday, we'll see how that one goes.
Stay in touch, Jen x
