Settle Down.

It's been a weird month.

I've always thrown around the term 'limbo' but I don't think it's until now that I've really experienced something like it. I've never been so 'in between' in my life. I've been going up and down from London to Brighton, working the odd shift, plus I've only just unpacked from moving in a few weeks ago as I've barely been anywhere for a long period of time. Plus, since finishing university, I've had the inevitable 'OH GOD WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE WHAT EVEN IS LIFE' feeling, so the concoction of the two has resulted in me just feeling unsettled, on all sorts of levels, leaving me in some kind of weird transitional stage where I'm neither here nor there, physically or mentally.

As much as this has put me in a weird position, on reflection it's actually okay. This whole time I've been worrying that I'm completely alone in this but it's pretty much the opposite, which is insanely reassuring. There's definitely some uncertainty in the air but at least I'm not the only one. Plus, once I tell myself to stop worrying, the uncertainty is actually pretty exciting.

For this week's blog post, I was lucky enough to shoot with my awesome friend Patrick - we just messed around in Brighton and (because Patch is brilliant) we managed to get some really cool shots. You can check out more of his stuff by clicking here.

Moving Too Fast.

Once again, I find myself rushed off my feet. And as I rush off my feet, many things seem to be coming to a close.

As I write this, I'm chilling in my half empty room in what has been my home for the past two years.  I've finished university and will graduate on the 29th July (WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT). As everything draws to a close, I've realised that for the first time in my life, I have no forced structure. I've always had some kind of structure since the age of 4, and now I'm being thrust out of my comfort zone and into something I've never experienced before; freedom. From now, I could get a job. I could travel. I could emigrate to the polar ice caps. Technically, anything. And it's such a weird sensation.

But as things come to a close, other doors open. Tomorrow, I move out and into a new (grown up) house. I've just started my new job at Irregular Choice's Brighton store. Plus, now that my studies are over I'll have more time to concentrate what I'm really passionate about - modelling and acting. So yes, you could say that things are moving a little fast for my liking. But I'm catching up.

For now, I'm just going to enjoy the summer I have. I just got back from Lisbon with two of my best friends and had the best time I've had in months. I'm so desperate to go back. Though I don't need to mope around too much as I'm gallivanting around Europe in August. I can't wait.

Thanks again to my wonderful friend Toby who took these pictures for me in a uriney alleyway in the outskirts of Lisbon. You wouldn't think it was uriney from the pictures!

What I'm Wearing:
Crop Top - Pink Brighton
Skirt - New Look
