Breaking Free

"But your faith it gives me strength, strength to be believe"

Hey the girl who inspired me to return to blogging started her first post with a HSM quote so it's only fitting that I do too (and we both know who's the bigger HSM fan between us). 

Recently my friend Sinead returned to blogging and described the reasons why she stopped/ lost interest. You can read the post here, it's fantastic. She describes being afraid of what people/ potential employers would think of her, and trying to fit the beauty blogger mold that isn't for everyone. As I was reading I was shocked, these were the exact reasons why I stopped. I became inspired. To blog, to journal but again I was struck by fear- would Sinead think I was copying her? Trying to steal her thunder? Then I laughed, I was making excuses again. 

So here I am, a twenty something student midwife, 5 months, 2 weeks and 5 days away from starting a full time job and entering the real world. As I start my final year of college, I know that this is a big year that will continue to define me. I will want to remember this, not just the memories or experiences, but how I thought about things, my views and how I looked at life.

Sure fuck it, be grand.
