Hello from the other side...

Hellooooo people of the interweb,

So, obviously I did not stick to my New Year’s resolutions and I am bad at this “new year, new me” business. I have finally made time to start trying my very best to stick to some of my aims of 2016. So, I’m trying something new! I was actually meant to start this on Monday so I’m going to post until I’ve caught up with myself.

I don’t know if any of you would remember “The 365 Day Challenge”? Me neither. You see I am not a tumblr kinda gal, I’m actually quite internet challenged, so I mean navigating this blog is a genuine miracle….

Anyway, so I’ve decided to do a collab with a pal of mine who has also decided to start a blog. Check out her blog, it’s much cooler than my own, she’s good at all this cute snazzy shit; whereas, I am the Kim Kardashian (pre sex tape) of internet blogs…..

So, were both taking part in this challenge, it should have started on the 18^th January 2016. Wow! I know! We are awful people who SUCK at keeping our blogs up to date.

Please forgive me for the sins of my misguided youth; but, now firmly adulting in the realm of the twenty year olds, I’m going to do my best to blossom from my little bud into a flower worth of all the sunlight I can potentially get (I was really trying for some great imagery but hey-ho!)

Anyway, so I will be doing this challenge and trying to post as much as I can (bare with me, I’d love to say I didn’t choose the law life and that it chose me, but that simply would not be true; I am the product of my own messes). So, here goes nothing, I hope you’ll enjoy the posts of 2016….

Until next time, remember I've said it so it must be true....

Social media ban...

So recently, I was called "childish" by someone I consider to be one of my best friends. We argued about the actions of another person who behaved maliciously but apparently defending myself is "immature".

What was my reaction? 

Well initially I threw my phone in a dramatic rage. After realising how childish that seemed and always wanting to be right, I went and picked up my phone and deleted all my social media apps. 

Goodbye Facebook, adios Twitter, s'later snapchat, and hasta lavista Instagram. 

This was going to be difficult....

Growing up with phones with all these cool apps which let me check where my friends are, let me chat on the go, let me send ugly selfies and let me pretend that my life is incredibly pretty; how would people know how amazing my life was? 

The most difficult to lose has been Twitter, I love my Twitter account. 

Without how would my 1000+ followed know what stupid thing Jess just said?  How would they know where I am today?How would they know the results of my latest buzzfeed quiz? 

Well they don't. 

It is probably one of the best things I've done for a long time. 

See I became a person I was not really comfortable being. I became aware of what someone unimportant had said to me and I felt the need to defend myself via social media. But by doing so I dignified her pettiness with a response. 

So, although I miss them all dearly, right now I think a social media detox is what I need. 

It was the mature thing to do. Because tweeting bitchy things, and snapchating photos of people with penis' drawn into their mouths really isn't mature. Maybe other people should take a step back from their social media accounts and gain a little perspective. 

Don't worry though they won't be gone forever, I'll be more social media active in the coming months. 

So, if you're going to completely ignore me and my advice to take a social media break, and if you enjoyed reading that, share it, like it, tweet about.

Also follow me on twitter and instagram because I'm pretty fabulous, @chantelle_kiran.

Until next time, remember, I've said it so it must be true....
