The A-Z of Me.

I'm not gonna lie, I've led a very boring life the past few weeks.

Between being ill and revision for exams- it's left little time to be exciting and gain embarrassing stories for you all to chuckle at!

So I decided to take a little inspiration from one of my favourite bloggers, Etienne- Etienne is one of the most beautiful writers I've ever witnessed (and I read ALOT of books), she has such a way with words. You're gonna have to go check her out to see it for yourself, but seriously- she has such talent.

Etienne has an A-Z feature and does beautiful posts about her chosen subject beginning with that letter. 

Mine wont be the same, mine will be more random I suppose, more me. But the original idea came from Etienne and she deserves all the credit :)

So onto A

A is for acceptance. 

The action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered.
Acceptance is a massive thing in everyone's lives. 

We all long to be accepted, in our family, with our friends, with everything we do. 

Nobody wants to be the one person on the outside who doesn't feel part of it, but yet we've all felt like we are at some point or another. But when we're not that person, does that mean that we're making someone else be on the outside? 

You see, I live in a flat with 5 people, 2 we don't talk to my guy best friend, and my best friend in the whole world..and another girl.
At the start we were all best friends, us 4. We were family, but after a couple of weeks it seemed like I was on the outside of that, of the two girls anyway. I missed out on all the in jokes, somehow missed out on being one of them, I was outside.

After a few more weeks, one of the girls got a boyfriend, and spent a lot of time with him back home. So we got closer as a 3. 

Now we're a family of 3 and the other girl is on the outside, yes it was her fault (she acted in ways you couldn't imagine) but she's still on the outside. And nobody wants that.

Being accepted is a must have by human nature, if we're not accepted - then we don't feel good enough for them.

But you know what? We were made how we are and that's the way it should be. 

Maybe we have to find a few bad friends a long the way. 

But we sure are gonna find some amazing ones too, ones that we'll be with forever. 

As long as we're accepted by the ones we love, who cares?

In other news, I'm still trekking to and from the doctors in an attempt to get better.

So what did I do to try and make myself better?

I got peer pressured into dying my hair! 

My best friend dyes hers all the time and was re-doing it this weekend, and whilst I was chatting to her about it, she managed to convince me to do mine.

After hearing so many horror stories about allergic reactions and things I made certain that I did a skin test properly and safely before anything else.

I was so nervous too- I'd never dyed my hair before, and didn't want it to go wrong. But I figured I'm only young once, so what did I have to lose (apart from the obvious). 

So I'm not gonna lie, I'm quite relieved it's very subtle and in some lights you can't tell. 

Baby steps eh?

It's a very dark shade of Red. Which you can only see in certain lights- otherwise it just looks a darker brown. I'm pretty pleased with it, I've still got my hair, and my eyes are normal size (a side effect was swollen eyes!)

I'll be doing my A-Z sporadically when I don't have an interesting life, hope that's okay :)

Love, Elizabeth xx
