Hey guys,
So the words 'moving on' are words that are used a lot right? I always say it mostly when somebody says something awkward and I just chime in with 'moving on.' But the two words have a meaning that is much stronger than getting out of an awkward situation that you've found yourself in. Moving on has a different meaning to everybody I guess, the thought of moving on can obviously sometimes be a very scary thought.
So the words 'moving on' are words that are used a lot right? I always say it mostly when somebody says something awkward and I just chime in with 'moving on.' But the two words have a meaning that is much stronger than getting out of an awkward situation that you've found yourself in. Moving on has a different meaning to everybody I guess, the thought of moving on can obviously sometimes be a very scary thought.
For example, in September, in just under three weeks actually, I'm moving on. I'm making the transition from High School to college and that change is going to be amazing for me. High school for me has been a hard time because of everything that happened while I was there but now I'm moving onto better things. Which is a relieve for both me and my parents because I know how worried they are about me and about thinking I would relapse. I'll admit, I'm scared about going to college, not knowing anybody that's there with me but it's an excited kind of scared, it's going to be a whole new adventure for me to embark on and I know I'm actually going to love it.
I'm also moving on from a bad stage on my life. This 'bad stage' as I call it ranged from January 2014 - August 2015 so just over a year and a half. In this year and a half, things haven't been exactly what I'd call good for me and there's nobody else to blame but myself. I let myself get into a state that I shouldn't have, I wasn't as strong as I wanted to be and I took that out on myself in a bad way. Whether I was physically causing harm to myself or I was telling myself things that put me down, I knew that both of those things were wrong and weren't healthy but I did them anyway because I thought I deserved it. I thought I needed to be punished. This resulted in me doing just that, punishing myself. My physical harm stopped in October 2014 and that's when I started to take control of my situation but not fully, putting myself down is something I still do every time I look at myself or look at the scars on my skin. Yesterday, I decided to put this to a stop which is why I've logged out of my Twitter and Facebook at the moment, to take some time to myself and I still know my friends are in quick reach as I can still text them but yes, as of today, I am putting myself first and I'm moving on from that dark time to try and make myself happy and the people around me happy.
Obviously, sometimes, moving on is not an easy thing to do. I was born in Plymouth, Devon and I lived there for the first third of my life now I guess but when I was five, my dad left home and moved up to Rugely which is near Birmingham because he got a new job that paid more and my mum wanted to move because she could be closer to my nan. Anyway, I knew that it meant we'd also be moving and at first, I was excited about leaving and moving on but as time progressed, I didn't want too. I was leaving everything that was familiar to me behind me and moving somewhere where I didn't know anybody; the thought terrified me. And now, sometimes, I wish that I still lived there because it was peaceful and loved it even though, I know moving up here was a good choice for all of us, moving on really was hard.
When you're sad or something's bad happened do you ever get tired of hearing the phrase 'it gets better?' I know I do. I did. When I was going through that bad stage, everybody would say that phrase to me and it was honestly the most annoying thing ever and I hated it whenever they slipped out of somebody's mouth. When things are bad, you don't believe it. You don't believe that things are going to get better because basically it doesn't feel like it actually will get better. Like that simple phrase is a story we have to tell ourselves to help us actually sleep at night. In the past year and a half, I can't count how many times I heard that and how many times I responded with 'Okay, whatever. I hate that phrase' because I did, I hated it. The reason I hated it was because I didn't believe it, there was no way that things were going to get better, that's what my mind told me anyway.
Just under a week ago, I collected my GCSE results and to put it shortly, I was dreading it. I had worked so hard on them, I really had and the thought of them not being very good terrified me, I was scared of disappointing those around me but most of all, I was scared of disappointing myself because I knew I'd be right back in a bad place. As it turns out, my hard work really did pay off because I got 2A's, 3B's and 2C's which is better than I thought so in the end, things did get better. I managed to get through those school years that were killing me and it paid off because I got the results that I wanted and needed to get into college which I've know enrolled into.
So, no matter how much you hate the phrase and don't believe it when things are going on, it gets better. I know that it seems like it really won't because things are so badly going wrong but they really, really do and that's a promise. Don't brush off the phrase the next time somebody says it to you like I did because now I know that it's true and that no matter what, I can do it. I can take control over myself, my work and my body because here I am, alive and pretty healthy and I managed to do that myself. Give yourself credit because, things are going to be okay. You're going to be okay.
On my spotify, I have a private playlist called 'You Got This' and it's a playlist of all the songs I like to listen to when I'm feeling down and I thought I'd share some of it with you guys because it might help some of you too and I'll link all of the songs too!

Now I listen to some of these songs because they motivate me so much with the words and meanings of the song and then I listen to some of them because they hold a special meaning for me for example A Thousand Miles brings back great memories of last year, the live version of Good Girls makes me giggle and reminds me of Shayla, each song I listen to for a different reason but a special reason. This isn't even half of the playlist by the way, just a small snippet.
Anyway, I hope you liked this post and I hoped it even helped some of you,
Have a lovely day, you deserve it,
