America is scaring me

By -


Yesterday, I wrote a blog post pleading American citizens not to vote for the joke of a politician that is Donald Trump. I wrote about the adverse affect he would have on the country and how he stood for everything that is wrong with the world.

But today it dawned on me that there is something far scarier- and far worse- than Donald Trump (yes, really).

It's his supporters.

Because it's one thing for one man to have such vile views on people who aren't straight, white males, but it's another when you realise just how much of America support his views. A huge portion of American's support his views and what he stands for, They believe the things he say are right! They're anti gay, they're anti black, they're anti Muslim, they're anti women- even the women! It's ludicrous but it's also terrifying.

Imagine if Trump wins the elections. Imagine if after all he has said and done, he gets elected to be Prime Minister. It will make all those American citizens who think the same way Trump do that their way of thinking is right.

In addition to this, think how powerful America is in comparison to the rest of the world. Think how many people they could at least attempt to impress these same, damaging views on!

It's a horrible, terrifying thought. In a world that's more diverse than ever before, where more people are open and honest about their faith,their background, their gender and sexuality, its sad and scary to think this could be quickly altered due to the ignorance of Donald Trump.

I hate to whine on about this topic two days in a row, but before when I felt confident that Trump wouldn't be taken seriously, I'm now beginning to panic- and I'm not even an American citizen! But I can understand just how damaging he will be should he be given the power a President has.

Love from,
Florence Grace

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" ...

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...

#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 -...
