Loving School

I feel like while i was unwell I learnt a lot of life lessons. The first being to appreciate the little things in life like taking a walk. The next thing I feel I learned was to really make the most of everything, School in particular.

I'm in my last year at school at the moment and I also manged to get the grades I needed for university last year so as a result before Christmas I was really at the end of my tether with school. I felt like I really didn't want to be there but at the same time I didn't want to leave. I just wasn't enjoying it to the point that I couldn't go a day without saying "I can't wait to leave"

Then I got ill.

Being ill for 3 months has meant being absent from school for 3 months and spending a large amount of that time stuck in a hospital room really opened my eyes to how much I love school. The social aspects of it mostly. Seeing friends every single day and even my teachers. Being part of something is also what I really missed. Having something to do with my life instead of sitting unable to do anything. Technically meaning I missed learning, I missed class, I just missed everything.

So basically what I'm saying is really make the most of everything, make the most of school even if you're not enjoying it. Really words can't describe how horrible it was to be stuck in hospital or at home while all my friends were at school. 

As horrible as it was being ill for 3 months I feel a lot of good has come out of it too, as cheesy as it sounds I really do feel like I've learnt a lot about appreciating life after everything I've been through this year. I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.

A Simple Little Walk

Well hey there,

As you probably already know from the title it's about walks. Sounds so simple and boring but I absolutely love going for walks and I'm trying to make a conscious effort to go for one more. 

I've unfortunately spent quite some time in hospital this year and during my admissions all I wanted to do was to go out for a walk, to get outside and breathe some fresh air but the difference was I couldn't. I was either too ill to actually go anywhere or not aloud to walk and had to go every where in a wheelchair.

As I had a lot of time to think whilst in hospital I made the decision to take advantage of being able to out for a walk and enjoy all the little things like that because you really do miss it when the option is taken from you. 

I've been for a few walks since I've been out now and I'm absolutely loving it. There's something about walks that lifts my mood. I feel great after being out, like I've actually done something during the day, instead of spending all day inside on my laptop. 

To conclude, all i'm really saying is appreciate all the little things in life because you'll really miss them when they're gone. 

Here I will leave you with one of my favourite things about walks, you can take some beautiful pictures. This is one of my favourites that i took on Tuesday. Another one to add to my collection of scenery pictures.

Hope you all have a wonderful day
