I don't know what I want to do with my life

I don't know what I want to do with my life.

There. I said it.

Okay, that's not entirely true. Since I was 12 I have known that I want to be a Radio 1 presenter. That is all I want to do. However, it's really not a very realistic career, and whilst I have worked in radio previously and have plans to in the future, I really do doubt that Radio 1 is ever going to happen for me!



Then I wanted to be a photographer. My dad bought me a huge, fancy photography kit, I applied to study photography at university, I studied it at college. But it always just felt like a hobby. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life doing it.

Since then I've wanted to be a journalist, work in social media, an interior designer, a fashion designer, a magazine editor, run my own business, a blogger, a YouTuber, a TV presenter...it's an ever changing list.

I'm quite lucky because I have done most of those things, albeit in part time or 'unprofessional' format. I am a journalist, writing for numerous publications and on a freelance basis for websites. I have done, and still do work in social media. I have dabbled in fashion design. I run my own magazine, and made my own stationery line. I have trained to be a TV presenter and have appeared in several TV programs.



But I don't know where I want to go next, what I want to do. Should I specialise in one field? Settle down in just one career, rather than seven? How do I pick which one? It seems an impossible task to me.

But it's okay. I'm twenty. It's okay not to have a clue about my life, not to know where I'll be a year from now. It's okay to keep changing my mind about jobs, about where I want to live, who I want to socialise with. I'm twenty. I'm allowed to be indecisive.

As long as I'm happy, that's all that matters to me.

Love from,
Florence Grace

    Never give up on the dream hun. If you still dream of being a radio 1 presenter, who's to say it can't happen? You just need to make a plan.of action on how to realistically get there rather than dreaming about it. Go for it hun! Chris Moyles ain't got nothing on you... Maybe don't tell him I said that the day you meet him! Ha ha! :) xx

    Thank God it's not just me!! I feel like I have a few s-so talents that I could develop, but I don't have one particular skill or vocation. Sometimes it sucks, but other times I'm pretty happy with it.

      It's definitely not just you! I agree, mostly I'm happy about it, but sometimes it's stressful not knowing which way I'm going!

    End quote.

    Doesn't sound so indecisive when you read it again :-)

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri...

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" ...
