Motivational Quote #7

Stop caring and wondering about how much you matter to others...
(photo from pinterest)

Hello everyone!!

At a stage in my life I once cared about what everyone thought of me, I always thought people were judging me and that stopped me from truly living my life. Once I stopped worrying and caring about the other people's opinions I realised that I was just being myself and having fun. I became happier and I began doing things that I normally stopped myself from doing. So my advice is if you stop caring about the things that are stopping you from living your life then get rid of them. They don't truly mean anything because if they did they wouldn't be making you unhappy. Being happy is something I truly value and appreciate in life as there have been times in my life where I was really unhappy. I also think another thing that will make you happy is finding a passion in life (mine is acting) and doing it for the rest of your life will make sure that your happiness is always there.

I hope you have an amazing day & thank you for reading!!

Motivational Quote #6


The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain. - Dolly Parton    Free Printable

Hello everyone!!

Last year I started doing motivational posts where I would put up a quote that would hopefully brighten up someone’s day. Lately I have been looking up quotes to get me motivated for the day due to feeling a little down in the mornings. The quote I thought I would share with you today is one that is currently up on my chalkboard in my room and by one of my favourite people.

“If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain”

Its true that if you want something truly wonderful in life you got to put up with a few obstacles here and there before you get to where you truly want to be. As an acting student this quote is rather appropriate for me due to having to take on roles that may not be to your liking or getting rejection but in the end you will land a role that is your dream role. In high school drama, I found I got cast as an older and much more mature character due to most of those in my class looking and acting a lot younger than myself. Do not get me wrong I loved playing older characters but sometimes I wanted change, I wanted to show that I could play a wide variety of characters. Now at college I finally have the chance to display what I really can do and it makes me so happy knowing I’m getting to play characters that are amazing. For my final production my class is tackling “4:48 Psychosis” a play by Sarah Kane, it is a wonderfully written piece with no set directions or characters. The scenes my lecturer/director has given me are fantastic and are really going to showcase my acting skills, this performance is almost like another audition as this is may help me get into next year of my course. I hope this quote gives you a little boost in life.

Hope you enjoyed reading & have a lovely day!!

5 Great Things About My Week!!


Hello everyone!!

I thought I would do a different kind of blog post today and tell you 5 things that have been great this week;

Rehearsals  -  This year for my final production at college we have took on "4:48 Psychosis" by Sarah Kane which we will be performing in 16 days which is not too long away but this week it finally has came together. We only have a few more scenes to finalise and then we are good to go which is amazing considering how tough a year we have had.

New Lecturer - a week ago, my college got a new lecturer who has taken over my voice classes and he is amazing. There is something about him that I really like, and he really cares about not only my class but also the work we are doing. He gives great advice and I feel like if I had him from the start of the year college may have been that little bit better. I think Friday was one of my favourite days at college so far and there have been many good days.

Juice Detox - I found a Glasgow based Juice Company that specialises in a Juice Detox and decided to try out a 3 day one this week. Everything about it I loved (apart from not getting my third day on time which I'm not too happy about as it meant I couldn't finish the Detox) it made me feel like I had been wiped out from all the badness.

New Clothes - I purchased a lot of new clothes this week and I think I had a delivery every single day, which made me very happy as I never get mail. I felt my wardrobe needed updating even though most of the stuff I bought was plain black for college.

My College Friends - I have a few close friends that I have known all throughout my school years but my college friends are just amazing!! From the very first day as a whole class, we connected and this week has just been another great week with them. It is as though we have known each other our whole lives and I will miss them all dearly when things change next year.
    1. I hope you enjoyed hearing about the top 5 things that made my week great!!

Have Faith & Believe In Yourself

Hello everyone!! Today was my the first performance of this years school pantomime Cinderella, and although I do acting all the time I felt like I was going to miss it up this time. We worked to a really short time scale to get the show ready in a matter of three weeks and I just didn't think we would be able to pull it off but we did. I stayed positive and didn't get nervous and went out there and showed everyone in the audience that I could do it. I gave myself something to be proud of and can't wait to do it all over again tonight. At times like this, this is when I know that on stage performing is where I truly belong (as cheesy as that sounds its true.) Sorry for the short post today I just had so much to prepare for tonight's show but tomorrow I'll post some pictures of the show and how it all went on our final performance.

Thanks for reading and hope you have a lovely day!!
