What I would tell my 10 year old self

It's clear that everyone changes when growing up, but for me, I am a completely different person. As a 10 year old, I was a nervous, depressed kid with no friends. I didn't have the confidence that I have now, I was completely on my own, too shy to talk to anyone, no one wanted to be around me and friends were just a dream to me, not the reality. I wouldn't usually do a post like this simply because I feel like in order to give advice, you need to actually know what you're talking about and know enough to be able to tell others what to do, what to change and how they can live their life. In this case, I am writing this completely because I am proud of the difference in my person. I am so happy in my life and this post is just to show how much has changed and how much I have overcome.

Dear 10 year old self...


  • People don't matter, although it's nice to have people around you, it's okay to be selfish and live in a world where only you and your dreams matter, it takes time but you come out on top in the end.

  • Share your charm and comical abilities with others, this is you. Don't show people the Jess they want you to be, it get's old and you get bored. Make people laugh because that is something you're good at.

  • Stop caring, before people start liking you, you need to like yourself and in order to do that, you need to forget everyone and just be happy.

  • You're sitting alone at break and lunch times, make an effort girl, go to the people because they won't come to you. Show people you're worthy of being a friend, you're good to be around.

  • You have no friends? They're coming, just wait a while, you find them in the end. You'll realise that they were right in front of you the whole time and they're there all the way through your teenage life and these are not friends you're going to give up any time soon.

  • You do lose people, people you think you need right now, it turns out you're stronger without them. In a few years time, they are nothing to you.

  • Family wise, it's a roller coaster girl so hold on! You never become the favourite for many stupid reasons, I'll let you find out for yourself. But you will face a lot of horrible times and tears. You find that the person the whole family loves, isn't important and you'll let him know. But there is one thing I will tell you, you and Hayden come out on top.

  • You not only have friends, you have people you never thought you would. You've become something you never thought you would. Those 'popular' people you'll find in a year or so, you'll be someone they love in 7 years time. Just because you showed them you. You were no one but yourself and you've earned the love from everyone.

  • You're so happy with everything when you hit 18 and there is so much to come for you. 

  • There's so much to be excited for. Hang in there because everything gets better. Because you stop caring.

Uni/Dorm Room Ideas On Pinterest

If you read regularly, you'll know I'm about to go to university and until now I haven't actually even thought of what I'm going to do with my room. So like every other blogger in the world, I took to Pinterest to find some ideas on what I could do in order to make my new room feel like a home. I'm going for the vintage / shabby chic look because I think it looks beautiful and you can be so creative with it I also want my room to have a cosy feel to it. On this post, there will be mainly pictures but it will leave the link to them below. Anyway this is what I found...
