Happy Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day. Whether you're the type of person who throws themselves completely into the day or dismisses it as a businesses' money making scheme, or maybe somewhere in between, you got to admit that it makes some sort of impact.

Personally, I am reluctant to buy things for Valentine's Day. I dislike giving away my money to buy presents on a day that has been exploited by shops for their own (money-making) purposes, and Valentine's Day isn't a real holiday, is it?

Well whether it is a 'real' holiday or not and worthy of acknowledgment is up for debate, but it seems to get that acknowledgment anyway. Today I got given an article to read in French class about the origins of the day! (In French of course.)

So I say take this day as an opportunity to make your loved ones days. Write messages to them, ask them to be your Valentine or just wish them a Happy Valentine's Day. The last one especially takes no effort, and is sure to brighten up someone's day.

Hi there!

I'd been thinking about creating a blog for a while now. Weighing up the positives against the negatives for months which has resulted in now. My first blog post.

It's been a weird year, with doing all I wanted to do (Two Year 12 subjects a year early, school choir, piano, and having a social life) and fitting it around the stuff I would have rather avoided (migraines and all the problems it causes).

With all I've learnt this year, there's one thing that I consider particularly important: that I deserve to have fun and be happy. Everyone does. And if anything gets in the way of that, I have to get around it, to the best of my ability.

Hopefully this blog with remind myself (and maybe others) of this fact.
