    I’m sorry to be so crass in the opening title of this post, but I think it really needed to be written just so I follow through on this post. I also think I need to apologise for the amount of blog posts that start with “The Importance Of…” and then I end up going off on some sort of wild tangent, but I’ll let it slide because it makes for a good blog post. It’s just in my latter twenties (eurgh – that sounds so scary to say) I’m starting to realise so much about myself and my daily surroundings, and now that I’ve started to accept it I’ve found that my anxiety is actually starting to calm down.

    My brain is now mentally taking its own “woo-saa” approach to life and it’s never been so clear that there’s a huge importance to letting shit go…

    For a long time I’ve found myself a bit of a “half empty” kinda person. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m always living on the edge of caution. Worrying about the “ifs” and the “buts” and the “oh my goodness, something terrible will happen if we do this.” To be honest, sometimes it’s pretty draining to be in my own head. That’s why this Summer I’m trying to make a habit of getting myself out of that little rut I have found myself in. I recently went to Blog At The Beach with icelolly.com and Jen Lowthrop presented a talk on “doing fun things when we work full time and releasing our inner fun.” It really opened my eyes to the kinds of possibilities that would turn me more in to the “half full” kinda gal I wanna be!

    WHEN DID I BECOME SO CYNICAL | QUEENBEADY

    When did I become so cynical? Is it my age? Is there something wrong with me? Is it because I’ve encountered too many pricks for one lifetime? (Ps. Dontcha just love the expressive cacti photo to work alongside this intro?)

    Truth be told, I’ve always had a little guard up. I never expect too much of people, (this probably stems back to my absent sperm-donor of a father that waltzed in and out of my early teen years – thanks, ya big ol’ twat!) but really, I’ve almost started to expect the worst in everything. Be it in a persons actions or behaviour or just general day to day life. It’s the most bizarre thing. “I’m going to get the sack!” or “Why did so & so do what they did, it’s so inconsiderate?” are just a few examples over the last few weeks my brain has decided throw at me.

    Growing up we are always finding ways to fit in, be the best and generally muddling through our teenage lives without trying (but failing) to F up everything. I’ve spoken on here before about how my teenage years were riddled with confusion. One minute I’d find my tribe and the next I wasn’t welcome. It was hard. I’m confident, not scared to stand up for what I believe in, yet I’m plagued with worrying about the aftermath of that. As I’ve grown older I’ve found my voice a little bit more and the best way to use it, funnily enough, this blog is where I let my creative juices flow. Whilst I do wish I had certain things – “Hello, lottery win, where are ya?” I’ve managed to carve something of a life that I can feel content with. I’ve got a whistle stop tour of how you can create a more chilled out, stress-free, content life for yourself.

    Where Do I Fit In? | QueenBeady

    It seems such a stupid question to be asking at nearly 27 years. It’s something you’d expect of a teenager at school to ask, wouldn’t you? But, what happens when you are in your mid to late twenties and you still feel like you don’t & haven’t ever quite fit in? It’s a question that I have always asked myself. Have you?
