Time is precious

If I were to received a pound for every time I logged on here and began writing a post, only to delete everything I've wrote and close it, I would be UNBEARABLY rich. I absolutely adore blogging, it's one of my favourite things to do, but sometimes I wonder whether I actually have enough to talk about to continue to keep my blog alive, to continue to keep it interesting enough for people to come here and read. I just worry that I don't have the imagination to create wonderfully interesting reads. 

I'm finding that most of the time I'm struggling to find the time to come here and talk to you, my life has been taken over by work, and when I'm not working I'm most likely reading, or catching up on TV shows. I just never seem to have enough time to do all the things that I so desperately want and need to do in my life. 

The last year of my life and more so the last few months I've found myself falling into that horrible pattern that nobody wants to fall into. I wake up, I go to work, where I'm barely even treated like a human being with feelings, I then get home with barely enough time to eat, and then head off to bed. When I get home I'm lucky if I get to have some form of interaction with my other half, which is completely insane considering that we live together! I swear I don't see why I'm paying for a mortgage, I'm out of the house more than I'm in it. 

Hell is repetition, and my life is repetition. 

There's so much I use to want to do with my life, still so much that I want to do. I miss the times where I had the spare money and spare time to not work in a horrible stuffy office, instead I would get to run around with my camera and be crazy creative. 

When I was in University I would have gave anything for it to be over, for me to finally enter the real world with my degree and find a wonderful job that I could fall in love with. Little did I know the real world was never how I pictured it, how people told me it was going to be. No one ever told me it was going to be this hard, no one told me that no one would care about all I've put myself through in order to try and be the best version of me. I always thought that once completing University I would actually be able to fall into the career of my dreams. 

Work, bills, work, bills. MY ENTIRE LIFE. 

My partner and I have booked a trip to Rome very shortly, and I'm more excited about this than I have been about anything in such a long time. I can't wait to spend an entire 5 days in awe staring at the beautiful historical structures that will be standing before me, to be running around with my camera and not having a care in the world. I will completely be in my element, having my camera in my hand and my soul mate by my side. I've literally left myself completely broke in order to book this trip because it was the only way as I have less money now than I have ever had. That's completely hilarious considering this is my first 'real' job, my first real job and I have no money. 

I love certain aspects of my life, I really do. Actually, I love every small detail about my life, aside from the pathetic excuse of a job I currently have. I'm not saying this is an awful job, I'm not saying that people can't enjoy it because it really isn't the worst thing in the world. Honestly, it's just the kind of thing I always said I would never do, it's not the kind of thing that I've worked my entire life  I have a naturally creative mind and not one thing about this job fits my personality. I actually feel like my talents are going to waste, and I'm stuck here now, I don't know what the hell to do to get out, to get out there and do what I was destined to do, be the person I'm truly meant to be. 

In ways my life is a lot more than I thought it would be at this point, I have a wonderful partner, family, and even extended family. I am surrounded by the most wonderful people, people that I find inspirational and just love more than words can express, especially my wonderful better half. I just wish I wasn't stuck in a job I can't stand, I wish it was easy to escape into something that will fill my days with happiness. 

My hun and I 

I want to be a writer

THE DREAM:

I WANT TO BE A WRITER.

THE REALITY:

I AM GOING TO BECOME A WRITER

Hey guys, do you remember me? I know I've been gone for awhile, life happened.

Life can sometimes get in the way of who you want to be, you have bills to pay for, mouths to feed, it makes following your dreams something much harder than you ever expected. Since leaving University and starting work I've pretty much stopped doing most of the things I love, the things that I'm truly passionate about, it's something I shouldn't have let happen, something that I intend to change. I can't help but look at my life an feel incredibly lucky for what I do have, it's something I'll never take for granted, I just never thought that I would find myself in a position that I wouldn't be able to follow my dreams. 

Everything's going to change, those things that have always been important to me will take first priority in my life.

Life can be hard, it throws obstacles into your life that you never expect, sometimes it can be hard to fight your way through this, but these are the things that make you a stronger person, these are the things that ultimately make you who you are.

I have a dream. I mean I have a lot of dreams, but this one is the most important, this is the one that will become a reality, whether it works out the way I want it to or not. 

At the end of 2014/beginning of 2015 I lost myself a little bit, I forgot who I was, I didn't quite know who I wanted to become and which paths in life I wanted to take, but all of that has changed.

I want to become a writer.

I started studying my degree during September of 2012, I always thought that this was the right path for  my life, I always though this was how I was going to become who I wanted to be. I soon noticed that wasn't the case, but I chose to stick at it anyway because I didn't know where to go from there, I'm still a little uncertain. 

I haven't gave my degree the full dedication that I probably should have, this was the first sign that I had made a big mistake. During my final year at University I lost my motivation completely, I found it hard to continue.

One thing in life I hate more than anything is having a lack of motivation, which is something that I have nothing for when it comes to media, but when I think about writing and becoming a writer, well that's a completely different story.

I have began writing a book, it might seem a little random, but it's something I have wanted to do for the longest time. It's still in the REALLY early stages, but I am feeling quite hopeful with the direction in which it's going. 

Where do I go from here?

• Just sit down and write.
• Have a target of 1500 words a day.
• Writing doesn't stop when I leave the house, use my iPhone/iPad to write whilst I am out and about.
• When writing, disconnect from the world, the less distractions the better. 
• Make a drink before I start, the less reasons to procrastinate the better. 
• Spend each day re-reading what I have written the day before.
• 
  

I haven't felt this motivated about something in such a long time, this is the greatest feeling. I'm taking some really big risks with my life right now, although I am not much of a risk taker, this seems necessary. 

This is hopefully going to change who I am as a person, hopefully I will become more driven than I am at the moment, hopefully I will procrastinate less and strive to be the greatest that I can be.

I'll keep you updated.

All the best, Ashleigh

I'm moving forward

There are times when I go through phases where I don't blog, I don't even think about blogging. Sometimes I just completely forget, whereas other times I have writers block. Sometimes I leave for a few days, sometimes for a few weeks, and sometimes for a few months, but I'll always come back, always.

I have a little bit of news...I actually have a pretty little job! That I imagine after working 40 hours a week will soon lose the pretty part. Although it's going to mean ridiculously early mornings, long bus journeys, and ridiculously long days, I think I'm okay with that, for now anyway. The time is fast approaching where I can SAVE, SAVE, SAVE! My inner traveller is just excited to burst out, and I can't wait to take myself and my camera away on wonderful adventures where we can take beautiful photos and write blog posts.

The last 3 years of my life have been incredibly long, painful and stressful, and every bad descriptive word that you could ever possibly think of. For the entirety of University I was stuck in such a bad place, and I don't mean because I was involved in a car accident or any of the other bad things that happened during this time...I went through stages of hating everyone and the world around me, but I've made it to the end of that era of my life and I believe myself to be a much better and happier person. I will always consider that to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life, I will always hate that I let society and the educational system determine which direction my life would go in, but I will learn from these mistakes. 

I can be the most inspired and determined person in the entire world, but for that I have to have passion, without the passion the determination and inspiration is not going to be there. I won't seek a career in movie making, I will however try to reconnect the passion I once had, I will try to learn to love media the way I once did.

I do hope to somewhere down the line pursue a career in photography, or travel blogging, or writing. The two biggest things in my life right now are writing and photography, it would be an absolute dream come true to gain a career in these industries, all I can do is work at it, maybe somewhere down the line I will make dreams come true, but for now I will make my dreams of seeing the world come true. 

My story doesn't end here, my story begins here...the future is a wonderful thing full of mysteries. All I can do now is send my CV out everywhere in the hope that someone wants me, in the hope that someone sees my potential and believes in me. 

Life for me right now is about being happy. I'm going to go on some wonderful adventures, hopefully with my camera in hand and the man of my dreams stood by my side. I'm going to take beautiful pictures because that's what I do best. I'm never going to stop dreaming, I'm never going to stop blogging, I'm back and I'm not going anywhere.

My Biggest Dreams: Swim With Sharks

3. Swim with Sharks

"Many people continue to think of sharks as man-eating beasts. Sharks are enormously powerful and wild creatures, but you're more likely to be killed by your kitchen toaster than a shark!"

- Ted Danson

Everyone has dreams, I probably have too many, too many to actually fulfil  but one thing it for sure…I'll give it my best shot.

I love Sharks, I think they are one of the most wonderful, beautiful and misunderstood creatures alive today. I love how they are like the king of the ocean, but in every single film you watch, they are made to be the bad guy, always made to be the bad guy. 

Most people want to swim with Dolphins, I want to swim with Sharks, I think it would truly be a memorable and magical experience. I'd like to swim with Sharks at Typhoon Lagoon, or even cage dive with them, just so long as i get to experience this beautifully remarkable creature up close, I honestly don't care how this happens. 

"Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you're lucky enough to see lots of them, that means that you're in a healthy ocean. You should be afraid if you are in the ocean and don't see sharks."
-Sylvia Earle

I do have one problem, one fear I will have to overcome before this dream could ever become a reality, that problem is my inability to swim. I've never knew how to swim, I had bad experiences when learning to swim when I was younger and I now have a fear of swimming, a bit of an anxiety if you will, something that I need to overcome. 

Sharks are remarkable, they are beautiful and misunderstood and one day I will swim with them!

Until next time!

A Letter To My Future Self

A letter to Granny A.

Dearest Ashleigh,

How's life been treating you? I hope the years have been kind to you, I know that you always feared growing old, I want you to know that if you're holding onto any grudges or if you have any regrets, then you should let them go, life's too short. I'm writing to you in the year of 2015, some would say this is the prime of your life, you've just turned 21 and I believe a lot will have changed since then.

2015 was the year that you moved into a new house with your dearest friend Stacey, the year you had a fresh start, I don't know how much of it you will remember, but at this moment in time you're absolutely loving it. You've been living here for nearly 3 months, I'm not going to lie to you and say that it has been easy, but know that this has been one of the best years of your life so far. How is Stacey by the way? I hope that she's still in your life, she should always be in your life, I'm not quite sure how you'd cope without her. This was the time in your life that you found out more about your bestfriend than you ever thought possible.

All through your childhood and young adulthood you found it quite hard to fully accept who you were and who you were always going to be, know that being at war with yourself for so long was one of your biggest flaws, know that you should have never hated yourself so intensely. I'd like to think that by now you fully appreciate yourself, you're worth so much more than you once thought.

You get addicted to things, quite easily actually, you have quite the addictive personality. You could literally watch Netflix none stop, for days on end, marathoning your way through Television Shows like there's no tomorrow. You currently have 3 different xbox consoles, you absolutely love to game, it's your way of switching yourself off from the world, you're known as the "geeky" friend. You drink a lot of water, I really do mean a lot, they say it's healthy to drink water, but probably not the amount you currently drink.

You find it quite hard to be alone, especially being alone in your home, it's something you haven't quite got the hang of. You sometimes find it incredibly hard to sleep at a reasonable time, although you love the morning, you love gazing at the sunrise, sometimes you just don't have the choice but to miss out on that, you have sleep tremors, usually more often than you don't. The world is something you love, you can't wait to travel, to explore the beauty that it holds, I hope that's something you managed to do, I know that if you didn't then that's probably something that you now regret.

You have an introverted personality, people often don't understand, most just think you're rude and that hurts to know. Talking to new people can often be hard for you, but you have the most wonderful friends in your life right now, you also have such an amazing boyfriend. OH YES! You have a boyfriend! How did that one work out? Was it the 'one' ? I hope so, I truly do. You've never been as happy in a relationship as you are at this present moment, you've never connected with someone so deeply, never had so much in common with one individual, don't ruin that, don't let that one get away. You're so loving, you care so deeply about so much, you risk your feelings too much and get hurt even more.

You're quite restless, you always feel like you should be doing something. You adore blogging, you've actually nearly been blogging for a year now, so congratulations! I hope that this never stops, this makes you so happy! You love music, I mean really love music, you absolutely adore Taylor Swift, she's your role model, she's always been your role model and you love her so intensely. You love McFly, they are your boys, a few years ago they joined up with James Bourne and Matt Willis to create the ultimate supergroup, McBusted, it's a wonderful experience, something you'll never forget, don't ever forget.

You've grown up so much in the past few years, you're so much wiser than your age.

You want to be a writer, a director, a zoo keeper, a singer, a photographer, a columnist, a time traveler, a forensic anthropologist and a demon hunter…I don't think you actually know what you want to be, but a writer seems to be the winning idea for you. You're a dreamer and a believer. You believe that time travel will one day be possible, you believe in extra terrestrial life, you believe in many conspiracies, in fact, you're practically Hodgins from Bones. You are kind, you believe that being kind is the greatest legacy that you can leave behind, you've been doing so much for charity lately, I hope that's something that never stops.

How's the family? I really do hope that everything worked out with you and Mike because you should never be alone Granny A, and he's so incredibly perfect. You find losing loved ones to be one of the hardest things in the world, you're not strong, not at all. Earlier this month, April 2015, your dearest Grandmother was sent to hospital, you were right to worry from day one, she's incredibily sick and you're currently incredibly heartbroken, I hope that everything will be okay because I know that you're going to hurt so much if it's not. Losing your Grandad was the hardest thing that you have ever had to experience, sometimes I look back and wonder how you made it past that moment in time, but you did and it was so hard. Think positive.

Remember 2015 as the year that was going incredibly awesome, apart from a few things, remember it as the year you truly understood what it was like to run your own house, the year you fell in love harder than you ever thought possible, and the year you made so many plans for the future.

I'll be seeing you Granny A, until we meet again…

Your dearest self, Ashleigh.
Aged 21.

P.S. NEVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE.

MY BIGGEST DREAMS: PARIS IN A WEEKEND

Paris

A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of life.

 - Thomas Jefferson

I don't actually have a big love for France, not even in the slightest. I see Paris as a little bit overrated, but there are some things in Paris that I absolutely have to see. I want to take Paris by storm in just one weekend.

The Louvre 

1. The Louvre Museum is my biggest reason for wanting to visit Paris. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed about visiting this beautiful museum. It's one of the worlds largest museums and is a historic monument. The Louvre is a central monument of Paris and exhibits some of the worlds most beautiful art, to visit here will be an absolute dream. This beautiful museum houses 35,000 masterpieces, including the world famous 'Mona Lisa' by Leonardo da Vinci, which is considered to be the most famous painting in the world, this masterpiece has been on display in the Louvre since 1797 and is a huge reason for me wanting to visit this wonderful museum. I could spend countless hours exploring this huge monument, with over 600,000 square feet of exhibition space, there's really no time to lose. 

   
   

   
   

   Eiffel Tower

   
   

   

   
   

   I don't have the biggest love ever for the Eiffel Tower, but if I'm going to visit Paris, I'm going to visit it. It took me awhile to find a picture that I was quite fond of, until i came across this beautiful black and white photograph, this is one of the only pictures I have found that truly captures the beauty of this world famous landmark. There's so much to see at the Eiffel Tower…so much to do! The first floor of the tower is one of the most beautiful places in Paris, with it's transparent floor and new installations it's something you're not going to want to miss. On the second floor you can view stunning panoramic views of Paris…imagine the photographs you could take up there! Once the sky is filled with darkness in the evening, the tower will be glowing with beautiful golden lights that can be seen from most, if not all places over Paris. If you visit Paris, make sure you take a trip to the Eiffel tower, it's one of the most iconic structures in the world and shouldn't be missed. 

   
   

   Notre Dame Cathedral
   
   
   

   

   
   

   The Notre Dame Cathedral, also more commonly know as Notre-Dame de Paris, is a historic Catholic cathedral located in Paris that dates back to 1163. If the picture above didn't already convince you to visit this stunning Cathedral, maybe the price will…there is no price, it's completely free to enter. The bishop of Paris in 1160, Maurice de Sully wanted to build something worthy, something that belonged in Paris, he chose to build in the 'gothic style' which was the 'in' style during this time. 

   
   

   Love Lock Bridge 

   
   

   

   
   I absolutely adore the idea of this bridge, I love the idea of engraving a lock, attaching it to the bridge and locking your love there forever, I think it's incredibly romantic. I also think it would be wonderful to travel to Paris with my mother and to lock our love onto the bridge, there's nothing stronger than a mothers and daughters love for each other, what a perfect way to show this. Some people would say there's nothing magical about this bridge, but as the hopeless romantic that I am, I beg to differ.

   Until next time

My Biggest Dreams: Rome - The History

ROME 

When in Rome, live as the Romans do; when elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.

- Saint Ambrose 

I've always had a rather large fascination with Roman history, along with this comes a great desire to explore this beautiful city.  I've spent countless hours reading up on the city, I've came to realise that not only is this city incredibly beautiful, but there is a rather large amount of magnificent ancient Roman architecture that just has to be explored. 

Colosseum

The Roman Colosseum, often referred to as Flavian Amphitheatre is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built in 72 A.D, this Colosseum is still the largest amphitheatre in the world today. This amazing architectural structure has a total of 80 entrances and can hold a whopping 50,000 people in it's grounds. Although this structure is incredible to the eyes, one thing that shouldn't be forgotten when taking in this site, is the rather large amount of cold-blooded deaths that took place within the colosseum. As well as the mass amount of murdered criminals, the Colosseum also homed to many gladiatorial fights, with the last one taking place in 435 AD. This structural beauty is known as the Romans most popular monument and was built for 3 specific reasons. It was built as a gift to Roman Citizens from the Flavian Dynasty as a means of increasing their popularity, to stage entertainment, various different forms, and to show the world what Roman engineering looks like. This structure is the first thing on my list upon visiting Rome, in fact, it was the thing that birthed my fascination for the city and it's history. 

The Pantheon

The Pantheon was originally built during the reign of Augustus during 27 BC - 14 AD, but was then rebuilt around 126 AD. Even after 2000 years, The Pantheon's dome is still the worlds largest unreinforced concrete dome. This structure is one of the best-preserved Ancient Roman buildings and has been used a considerable amount throughout history. The Pantheon is actually a Christian Church and has been used as such for a number of centuries, although due to being rebuilt twice beforehand, this isn't actually the original Pantheon, but is still extremely ancient. The tombs of this structure tell the story of a doomed engagement, the famous Renaissance painter, Raphael, is buried inside, along with his fiancee, Maria Bibbiena. Like quite a lot of ancient architectural buildings, this one is no different in the respect that their is a lot of history to be learned about it. 

Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona is a city square that is located in Rome. Built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, built by Emperor Domitian in 86 AD, the square follows the form of the open space of the stadium. This square is arguably the most beautiful and famous one to exist in Rome. The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, also known as The Fountain of the Four Rivers, is the main attraction of this square, which was constructed between the years of 1647 and 1651 on the request of Pope Innocent X. This fountain consists of four figures which each represent a river from a different continent - The Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio de la Plata, this is just one of the three fountains situated on the Piazza. The others being the Fontana del Nettuno, also known as The Neptune Fountain or The Calderari, and the Fontana del Moro, also known as The Moor Fountain. The Neptune fountain was built in 1576 by Giacomo della Porta and consists of statues of Neptune which are surrounded by sea nymphs, that were added during the 19th century. The Moor Fountain, which was also by Giacomo della Porta, consists of a statues of a Moor holding a dolphin, which was added in the 17th century, the tritons were added later during the 19th century. 

Another great part about The Piazza Navona is The Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, which was again commissioned by Pope Innocent X in 1652 and was completed in 1670. St Agnes was buried in the catacombs at the present basilica of the church and is one of the great Roman virgin martyrs. The most notable part of the Basilica are it's mosaics, the shrine of the virgin martyr St. Agnes, and the catacombs.

1. Musei Capitolini

1. 

   
   

   One thing that I have a huge love for is the fantastic art that people create, which is why The Capitoline Museums are such a fascination to me. These are a group of art and archeological museums that are located in Piazza del Campidogilo. The smaller building was opened to the public in 1734 by Pope Clement XII and contains a fine selection of Greek and Roman sculptures. Art is a wonderful thing to see, it's interesting to view the various different creations from artists, especially for someone like myself who isn't too good at art.

   
   

   Church of San Luigi dei Francesi

   

   
   

   The Church of San Luigi dei Francesi or The Church of St. Louis is a Roman Catholic church in Rome that is located near Piazza Navona and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, St. Denis the Areopagite and St. Louis IX. This beautiful architectural structure was designed by Giacomo della Porta, who also built various fountains located at the Piazza Navona. On the walls of this church hangs 'The Calling of Saint Matthew, which is a reminder that art that is 400 years old was modern when this church was first built. Some say that Rome as a city is actually a living museum, the works of art hanging on the walls of this church could prove this quite easily.

   
   

   Palatine Hill

   
   

   

   
   

   Palatine Hill is one of the most ancient parts of the city, some of the findings here date back to the 10th century BC, and is one of the seven hills of Rome. The Palatine is the location on which the first settlers built their huts, following this is became a residential district. There isn't much to see here, but at the same time there is, most of what can be seen here are the remains of what once stood here.

   
   

   
   

   Castel Sant'Angelo

   

   
   

   
   Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as The Mausoleum of Hadrian is a towering cylindrical building located in Rome that was built as a mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian. Inside of this fortress you can find The National Museum of Castel Sant'Angelo which retraces the history of this structure. The Castel Sant'Angelo has undergone several renovations over the last few centuries, mainly to strengthen the castles defences. This castle is considered to be one of the most desirable tourist attractions in Rome. 
   
   There's a Roman saying "Even a lifetime isn't enough time to see Rome". Never could a saying ever be more true, there's far too much to view in Rome, far too much beauty and architectural history to take in. Rome is most certainly one of the worlds most fascinating cities, especially to someone like myself who has a huge love for the city. I can't wait to visit Rome. I can't wait to stand in awe when looking up at the Colosseum or The Pantheon, I can't wait to walk around the beautiful city of Rome with my camera, taking photographs of every single little thing, because I won't want to miss a thing.
