hi, spring.









Springtime has arrived.

All around me trees are blossoming, flowers are blooming, the sun has come out to say hello, and temperatures have risen to a lovely warmth. Nature, which has been asleep for so long, is finally waking up and coming to its usual vibrant, beautiful life. In this current moment, when it feels like the whole world has ground to a standstill, it's heartening to see that nature is still continuing on its yearly cycles, growing and thriving as though nothing has changed. If nature can continue, then so can we.

I'm lucky that I've been able to be out in my garden these last few days and I'm able to safely go on short walks around my very quiet neighbourhood. The changing weather and flowering trees have definitely improved my mood lately. There's so much stress and uncertainty going around at the moment and it's so important to focus on the good in life -- keeping a positive outlook is one of the most important things you can do in a situation like this.

I hope you're all well and staying safe, try and keep calm and remember this will all be over before we know it!! Sending socially distanced hugs 😊😌❤️

Let's spread some positivity! Tell me about something that makes you happy? How have you guys been? (Does anyone still follow this blog?)

If you follow me on Instagram, sorry that you're seeing this again! I think I might start recycling some of my Insta posts in order to revive this site (I don't have any other post ideas lol).

    Everything here has turned such a vivid green. It's one of my favorite colors to see after so many gray days.

"You Can't Change The Past": A short story

You can't change the past. It's the only thought in my mind as I sit alone in my room. It spins around and around in my head, obliterating every single other thought. You can't change the past. You can't change the past. I wish I could, though. I wish it with all my might. I wish I could step through a portal and appear, say, a year into my past. I could grab hold of myself at that time and explain what would happen, and how easily I could avoid so much grief and heartache. Just a decision. Just by making a single decision differently my life could change completely. I laugh bitterly. That sort of thing only happens in sci-fi movies. In real life we're forced to live with the consequences of our actions. No time travel. No easy way out. I've made so many mistakes. So many. I didn't know they were mistakes at the time - I thought I was doing the right thing, always. But I see now how terribly misguided I was. If only I'd had someone to make me see...

Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge: September

This is actually going to be a thing I'm so excited!!! Hey, remember the idea I wrote about yesterday in this post?  Well, a few people said they were interested so I've decided to make it into something official. Welcome to Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge! (I'll probably give it a snappier title later on...) The idea: at the start of every month, I come up with a theme, such as "music", "friendship", "pets", "summer". And whoever wants to participate has until the end of the month to write a short story on the theme I've chosen. Here are the rules! THE RULES: - Anyone can participate! - There aren't really any rules about what you can write, so long as it has something to do with the theme (that's the whole point of this challenge, after all). I only ask that you keep it clean (i.e. no bad swearing or any content that's unsuitable for kids, you get the idea). - You can write as much or as little ...

Really Random Post - life updates, YouTube shoutouts + WIP snippets!

*jumps into view* HEY GUYS! So. It's been a while. I mean, not a huge while?? Just like... three weeks? Ok so that's a pretty big while. BUT. Hey, I'm here now,  aren't I!! I'm back!! Isn't this exciting!! Anyways, I do  have an excuse for having dropped off the blogging radar for some time, or rather, I have several excuses. These are:                           1. I have my first GCSE exams coming up in just over a week (A WEEK?!) so I've been reeeallly busy revising and finishing everything off and just basically stressing. (I mean, I'm not that stressed? But I do have LOADS I still have to revise before my exams.) Which means I have very little free time to come up with blog posts and even less time to actually WRITE the darn things. (No but seriously, how come blog posts can't just write themselves?? It would make everything so much easier.)               ...
