Cheryl...shares all!

Posted by Cheryl at 18:41
 Now I could lie and say 'I don't normally do things like this but thought I would give it a try!'-the truth is I love surveys and quizzes, often I just can't be arsed to fill in questions but I quite liked the simplicity of this one which I have seen on a few blogs.
 
 1. Blogging. Why?
I have always loved to write, even from a young age and I always wrote a diary and little stories here and there. I love blogging simply because I love writing! I don't do it to get followers (I mean, I only have 10! Thanks guys!) I just do it as a way to express how I feel or what I know and if people read it along the way and enjoy it, then fab! I often wish I could write even more interesting blog posts but not much goes on in my life-I am not particularly fashionable or high-flying, so this blog is mostly just about boring old me!

2. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? 
If we're taking in terms of appearance, I do wish I had long legs and were a little taller! I hate my legs and never wear shorts/short skirts as I am so self consious. In terms of personality, I wish I was less sensitive sometimes as I often take things too personally-sometimes it is a great thing to be sensitive but often it just causes me upset and isn't worth it at all.

3. Chocolate or Vanilla? 
What a deep question. I do really love a good vanilla ice cream although I am also a massive chocolate fan but I do find it a bit too sickly sometimes so I will go for vanilla.
 
 4. Your favorite movie genre? 
A toughie as I love many genres of movie. I would probably have to say action however-I like chases and explosions and gunfire (random I know-Die Hard is one my favourite films)-any film with Arnie in it is a winner for me!

 5. What/Who inspires you? 
In terms of people I would have to say my mum as well as my grandparents. My Nan taught me that life is short and you should see as much as you possibly can in your lifetime. My grandad taught me to be kind and gentle to everyone. My mum has taught me that you can get through the worst if you just stay strong and that it's ok to be me. Many 'things' inspire me-I take a lot of inspiration from old quotes that I read online, especially from philosphers.

 6. The greatest lesson you have learned in the last year? 
To expect nothing from people and that sometimes you have to be your own best friend and rely on yourself. So many times I have given my all in friendships only to be let down and so many times I have shown kindness and not received it back. So I have learnt that in life, not everyone considers the feelings of others, you just have to keep being a nice person and rely on yourself. I have also learnt that because you have depression or anxiety-it DOESN'T have to define you.
  7. Where do you see yourself in five years? 
Well I would like to be married with a child :) I have thought that perhaps it the future I would like to train as a nursery teacher as I really like that age group-also I would love if one of my children's books is successfully published and I had a bit of extra cash!
  8. Dream travel spot? 
It will always be Italy, I love everything about it and would go back again ever year-it is my dream travel spot! I would like to go to rural Tuscany, Sicily and see more of southern Italy.
  9. Random fact about yourself? 
I used to want to be famous and I even attended Sylvia Young Theatre School-stage school for the stars! I decide to leave though as I felt it wasn't for me and I wanted to be a journalist (and then changed my mind again...lol!)
  10. Favorite way to relax? 
A cup of Twinings tea and cake, a Lush bubble bath, listening to my favourite music...or doing this blog, it does relax me funnily enough!
 
Hope everyone is having a good week, I had a lovely weekend and I am still counting down the weeks until the summer hols (just under 4!) and am making some nice plans. I went to the doctor today to get to the route of my pains in my neck/shoulder and found out I have a trapped nerve and may have to have physio, so at least I know now! Me and Michael are so exhausted from work today, how is it only Monday! So we are going to have some dinner and max out with some '24 Season 5' hope you all have a lovely evening xoxo
