I hope all of you, whether you've been reading lifewithluce from the very beginning or just coincidentally come across my blog today, I hope you're all very well and happy.
I've thought about my blog quite a bit recently as a sort of 'pick me up' as my happiness levels are so very varied at the moment. Today, sitting in front of me is my trusted laptop, a cup of green tea and a cheeky chocolate biscuit aswell as the patio doors wide open to freshen up the dining room.
Unfortunately, I've had to take the day off sixth form as I woke this morning to a chronic cold which consisted of breathing difficulties and a crappy ass headache, not to mention i've lost my voice. Mum says it's because I don't have enough 'vital vitamins' and she's probably right. I don't enjoy having to take days off sixth form to be completely truthful, it leaves me feeling very bored at home as all my friends are busy at sixth form and it also means i'm behind in my work and revision. BUT, it means I can take the day to recover and chat away on my little blog.
So it's exam season and doing subjects such as law, English literature and food technology, you can imagine I have a hella amount of revision and my motivation as per usual is non existent. It's ironic that even after doing my GCSE exams and achieving grades which didn't really reflect my ability due to the lack of revision, i'm still missing that determination to do the best I can. Which, ISN'T good. I'm sure it'll come to me soon enough.
On the topic of determination, I have certain obstacles that I need to overcome in the coming month which I'm really rather nervous to undergo. Without going into detail, there's two ways that this certain obstacle can go, either i'll feel overly happy with the outcome or absolutely miserable. Now, I shouldn't depend all my time and energy on something which should just be a given, by that I mean I shouldn't be working towards this outcome if it was meant to be in the first place. Unfortunately, life isn't that simple nowadays and if I was a 13 year old me reading this I tell myself to get a grip and do more of what makes me happy. Sadly, I've changed a lot since being thirteen and I have a strong habit of over thinking minor things in my head which consequently leaves little space in my head for the more important things in life. So note to self- do more of what makes me happy.
A year ago I wouldn't of imagined my life the way it is now at all, for instance I was in a relationship this time last year, I was attempting to revise for my GCSE's and I had a totally different friend group. Whereas now, I've been single for four or so months, i'm learning how to drive, I've had a job for nearly three years and I'm attempting to revise for A levels and like I said, I have a completely different friend group. By the way, the friend group I have now at sixth form doesn't diminish the fact that I loved my friends in year 11, but people and circumstances change and that's just how it is. But because of these changes, it makes me optimistic, excited and oblivious into where i'll be, what i'll be doing and who I'll be at 18 years old.

Also, I've finished watching a BBC drama called Thirteen which was absolutely amazing. It's about a girl called Ivy Moxam (played by Jodie Comer) who was kidnapped when she was thirteen and escapes thirteen years later when she's 26. It's about her life afterwards and how she has to adapt to the real life modern day and how her relationships develop with her family and friends. Both, two very different programs yet both equally as brilliant.
