Ever been sat
there staring into space wondering what you’ll be doing in 3 years, 5 years, 10
years. Where you’ll be, will you be married, kids, career…
For as long as I
can remember, Architecture has been my main driving force, my passion, the
career I want to flourish in.
However, since
starting this little thing, things have changed. This past year has truly been
a world wind adventure, from attending copious amounts of gigs, getting two
jobs off the back of my writing and having an interview published this month in
a well known magazine.
It’s crazy to
think all of the above sort of stemmed from this innocent little thing, an
online diary. I never expected in my wildest dreams I would get 5 views, let
alone 20,000.
However, it’s not
about the hits. Although it continues to amaze me, the experience is what I
strive to relish in. I love it when I see comments on a post or I see my name
flash up on Facebook or Twitter, someone thanking me for my recommendations.
I must apologise,
to anyone who used to read this everyday. I did it religiously throughout uni,
maybe it was a way to stay connected to home. Since, it has been two months
without writing a thing. I’m not over it, I’ve simply moved onto bigger, better
things.
However, I don’t
want this gem to vanish. After all, I owe it my all so there are a few tricks
up my sleeve. From this month, I will hopefully be doing several interviews and
exploring that field. I hope you’ll support me in my new journey.
Another new one,
I have started blogging for an amazing company called Crypt Sessions, again, I
would love for you to take a look and head over to their blog, which I now run.
Come say Hi, I’d love to hear from you.
So, I guess the
next thing is to give you a quick fire update on my crazy Summer, the best yet
and I sort of have to keep pinching myself that I’m actually living my life
like this.
First off, my
weeks work experience at Wakestock was the best thing I’ve ever done. I met the
most amazing people, watched live music and splashed in the mud. I won’t go
into details but I met several artists, some of which will be doing the
interviews with me in the next few weeks.
Following that,
the week that followed was like come down central in my house. I missed the mud,
I even missed working. I missed everyone I’d met for just a few days.
Thankfully, I didn’t
have to wait long until my next festival, since I’ve done another and in just
two days I’ll be traveling to the Isle of Wight for Bestival. With a first
class line up of live music, art and everything else that the wonderful world
of Bestival has lined up, it’s safe to say I’m ecstatic. I’m also sorta excited
to experience living on a tour bus for five days!
Anyway, back to
the month of July. If I can remember that far back. It was supposed to be our
Summer. I’m not convinced.
So, I GRADUATED. I
donned a cap and gown and celebrated in style with the most wonderful bunch of
friends I’ve met over the years.
Four days later,
I turned 21 and had the best night with my family and friends. I received
copious bottles of champagne and a swish new phone, diamond necklace etc. I
will spare all the nitty gritty. Incase you all become jealous! However, I may
mention here, Lianne La Havas wished me a happy birthday!
Next, we were
into August. We headed back to Abersoch, my second home and relished in the
sunshine for a week on the beach. My idea of perfection. A few days working
then it was off to another festival. This time, Green Man as a punter. Ooh I
hear you say, well it was down right the best festival ever. The most amazing music.
Oh, here I should add, The Staves played a song for me. Smug.
Next, I drove
home with an hour to spare, jumped on a plane and flew solo to Palma. I lazed
about in the sunshine with some precious people for three days before flying
back for another festival.
Phew. A breathe
of fresh air. I did two festivals and flew to Mallorca and back in a week. I
felt like a rockstar, if only I could sing.
Fast forward a
week and here we are. I’ve worked a hellish 17 hour shift, done three weddings
and I am now currently sat in bed fully clothed having been out early, whilst
my dog snores like a trooper at my feet.
Work in an hour
for a meeting then I must unpack from the last three weeks as I have been
living out of a rucksack. Standard.
Lastly I want to
thank each and every one of you for reading.
Especially, the
lovely Tanja for letting me loose on her very own blog for a few months and
offering her readers some of my musical knowledge. It’s through blogging we’ve
become friends and it’s amazing how much we share in common. It’s also at this
point I will direct you over to her amazing blog, take a look – you won’t
regret it.
That’s all for
now folks,
I am sure I will
update you with my adventures next week,
In the meantime,
peace and love.
