Status: In a relationship

By -


Sorry, guys. That is a totally click bait title. However, it's not exactly untrue. I really am in a relationship. The best kind of relationship, one that is constantly evolving, growing more and more fabulous by the day...I am in a relationship with myself. 

Okay, okay, I know that sounds totally weird, but that's the only way I can think to describe it! For the majority of this year, I've been on a journey of self discovery (how cliche). I've been learning about what I'm capable of, what I like doing, what I don't want to do, who is worth my time and who isn't. It's been very much like getting to know someone at the start of a relationship, see what I mean? (I'm not totally crazy).

Honestly though, I was talking about this with my friend Alex the other day, and I realised I genuinely don't have time for a relationship right now. I am so busy working on myself (for myself, by myself) as well as holding down six jobs, trying to squeeze in a night a week to see my dad, a night a week to see a friend, blogging every day and working out/walking/runnning, I have no extra time!

My relationship with myself is the most important thing right now. I've never been so independent for so long and I'm still getting used to it. I'm loving being able to do what I want, when I want, answering to no one. I'm loving seeing myself evolve and change as a person. I don't think I'm ready for that to be over yet. Self love is of the utmost of importance to me, and it's something I struggle with a lot- so right now, it's my number one priority! 

love myself self love be true i love me loving yourself

Maybe one day I'll be doing a similar post to this one, when I'm really in a relationship. But right now, it's just me, myself and I, baby.

Love from,
Florence Grace

The final words to my ex.

Today's blog post is late, I know, but that's because it's been very hard for me to write.  This is going to be the last time I write about my ex boyfriend and my previous relationship. Effectively, I am giving it all a final goodbye.  Of course  I know my relationship ended on New Year's Eve. Unofficially, it probably ended long before then. I haven't seen my ex since 27th of December, since last year, which is a really weird thought. And whilst I had accepted it was over, I had a teeny tiny part of me that still loved him and hoped we would get back together.  I had deleted him from all social media except facebook, boxed up all of my things from him and taken down all of the photos. I got a new phone (by coincidental timing) and did not keep his number, nor did I send him my new one. But I kept him on facebook so we had some way of getting in touch should we need to talk about anything (getting back together).  And then I was told he wa...

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

By -
It never fails to make me smile when I get nominated for a bloggers award out of the blue, and it never fails to make me smile when I am called an inspiration- making my nomination for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award from A Blogs Life one that made me overly happy indeed! A Blogs Life is a very unique styled blog, and the only one of it's kind that I follow- it is run by all the family, which I think is incredibly sweet! So thank you to the whole lot of you for nominating me- I appreciate it more than you know! The Rules 1) After being nominated, write a post, starting off with a mention of the blogger who nominated you, as a small thank you to them! 2) Have a bit of fun and come up with seven facts about yourself.  3) Nominate 15 bloggers that inspire you for the award! The problem with being nominated for bloggers awards, is that they nearly always ask you for facts about yourself! On top of this, I recently did a post named "50 facts about me" ...

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -...
