Hiya, I’m Amy. I’m 26 and I haven’t really done anything noteworthy in my life yet. I’m pretty boring.

I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while now. I know I’m not particularly interesting or even that clever but I feel like sometimes thoughts need to be shared so people don’t feel alone, so they realise that other people think the same as them and, most importantly, to help show no body really has a clue whats going on.

Some of you won’t like my writing style, I write how I think, jumping from one topic to the next, never really finishing or rounding up the previous thought. I know it’s annoying and I will try and not do it much!

As you can also tell, I am not a strong writer, when I was younger I dreamed of being a writer but I’m just not wired that way. I like to think I can write pretty coherently but I never use proper grammar or sentence structure or anything like that, I just write how I talk.

So I guess the main idea around this blog is just to get my thoughts out there. Yes I will talk about topics that I don’t fully understand or know much about but I don’t think you should be put off sharing an opinion or idea just because you don’t fully understand something, It’s a way of learning more and growing on your initial thought/feeling.

I’ll also talk about my (very unhealthy) relationship with food and how I deal with being an overweight, emotional eater (this won’t be talked about all the time, just now and again when its playing on my mind). I’ve never really openly discussed how it’s affected me and how I feel there’s a slight stigma attached to it.

I’ll write about how my menstrual cycle (TMI, soz) rules my life and affects every aspect of it. It’s an ongoing battle that I will hopefully learn more about as time goes on (any guys reading this I’m sorry but it might help educate you a little too!).

I have a lot of in-depth discussions with my boy friend and my friends and I’ll be sharing snippets of those and showing how the closest people to you don’t always think the same way/agree with you.

I guess I’m hoping that this will be a little journey of self discovery, that I’ll start realising I should maybe have more confidence than I do, that my feelings and thoughts are valid and that sometimes, I’m just being a massive idiot and need to get over it!

Hopefully, someone will take something away from this! And if not, I hope it’s been entertaining!
