Sorry I haven't been on here for a few weeks but I've been slightly stressed with school. I've never been one to be open about my feelings but I feel like I should share this with you.

Recently, I've been coming home after school and dance clubs upset and sad. I don't really have a solid reason why but in the past year I've lost six people from my friendship group but have gained two amazing people.

I don't feel like doing something which I've loved from a young age and I feel really pressured to do well in school, I have three proper GCSE exams next month and our teacher are always saying they're disappointed in us and are always pointing out the bad things rather than praising the good.

To help cheer myself up I'm going to list a few things which have happened to me recently which have made me happy:

1. The sun has been shining. Personally, I like the rain but the sun is out, people are happy, moods are lifted and it just makes everything seem so much better.

2. I went for a run. Running is suppose to release endorphins and make you happier but to be honest I feel terrible after going for a run as I'm not very good but even though it did take 45 minutes I ran/walked 3.8 miles! I've never been the healthiest or the fittest but I'd like to get healthier.

3. Making Paige happy. I have a short anecdote for you, Paige my friend loves the Gold chocolate bars but her mum never buys them for her. My mum bought them for me and my brother for lunch at school and I told my mum this and she got me to take on to school for her and it made her so happy, which made me happy.

4. Cherry blossom trees. I absolutely love cherry blossom trees especially the pink ones. In my home town for the past month or so they've been in bloom so it just makes everywhere so much prettier. I also had a nice chat to my grandad about them and he told me the pink ones are ornamental and don't actually grow cherries.

I'm not going to do this every week or day, I'll probably just add two or three things to the end of every post. I hope you had a nice day! (Here is picture of flowers which I took over the weekend)
