Don't like where you are? Move.

When I first saw this quote on LinkedIn, I laughed.

"You're not a tree." It sounds absolutely ridiculous and cheesy.

But the sentiment it completely true - if you don't like where you are (whether that be where you're living, where you're working or just where you are in life) then just move.

You don't have to stay somewhere just because it's easier.

You don't have to stick something out just to prove a point.

You don't have to be somewhere just because it's where everyone thinks you should be.

Don't like it? Do something about it.

It'll never be as bad as you think.

It's something my dad has said to me a lot recently, and is something that his dad always said to him. 

It never is as bad as I think it will be, but that doesn't stop me worrying every time. And it won't stop you worrying every now and then either. 

When it does feel like tomorrow is going to be an absolute disaster, Pooh and Piglet might make you feel a little bit better. Just remember: it might never happen.

New home, new job, same old me.

I've had so many blogs over the years. I've written blogs for fun, I've written blogs for assignments, tumblr blogs, wordpress blogs; the list goes on. And they all have one thing in common: reading back through the posts makes me shudder, thinking "oh dear God did I really write that?!"

So what better time to start afresh than with a new home, an exciting new job and the same old me?

I'll keep it short.

New home: I've just moved back to the lovely city where I grew up and am living in a little flat in Kelham Island overlooking the river.

New job: I did a stupid thing - I quit my job with no new role lined up. I did it though, I start my new job in November.

Same old me: I'm still me; I love coffee, gin and pole fitness. I hate comic sans. I have a wonderful group of friends and family and am completely in love with an incredible guy. Life is good.

This blog will most likely be made up of my love of all things digital and of course a little bit about my life.
