Where to start..

Hello there everyone!

It's been a while, so I thought I might just give you guys a bit of an update, but just a warning: this is going to be a bit of a 'word vomit' post - who knows what might come out?!

First of all, my YouTube channel is coming along really nicely! Thank you so much for your support and lovely comments - it means the world. There is definitely a new video coming as soon as I get home and it involves a very special guest so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Next up, my summer holidays have been going amazingly well. At first, all the free time took a bit of getting used to and I just wanted to go back to school, but honestly, I needed the space. The last months before my summer began (every since February really) were so tough and I went through a lot and I was really drained. Some people may have dealt really well with exams and stress and you're so so lucky but I was definitely not one of you. I'm glad it's over and that I've had the summer to recharge my batteries and do things that I enjoy. *If you want to see how my list is coming along, click here!*

Finally, the thing that was always looming in the back of mind as I swam in the sea, sunbathed and saw friends and family...Results day. It came and it went and I'm so relieved. I might update this and say what I got someday but for now I just want you guys to know that I am over the moon with my results and I couldn't be happier to see that my hard work and anxiety was worth it. A lot of you must have gotten results too and I really hope you can say the same. 

My anxiety was something that I really had to come to face this summer. *If you want to see the blog post I wrote about my anxiety and panic attacks while I was revising for exams you can click here.* I kept having panic attacks while I was going through exams but when I finished school I thought they would stop. They didn't. I was so surprised and shocked because I thought they were triggered by stress but I now know that's probably not the case and I'm slightly apprehensive of how it's going to affect my next two years in education. I don't want to go into too much detail right now but if you want me to do a whole blog post about it, or even a video, you can leave a comment and I'll definitely do that. 

So all in all, these last few months have been pretty insane but I've grown so much and really come to terms with everything about myself: good and bad.
To finish, here are some photos of my summer - I hope you had a good one and I wish you all the best in the next year!
