Sixteen things I’ve learned at sixteen
Hello lovelies! I was certain that I'd written a version of this post last year and the year previous, but as it turns out, I did no such thing. That brings me to the point of today's post- although late, here are sixteen meaningful lessons I've learned over the course of my small lifetime. Enjoy, and I hope you're able to take something away. Your teenage years aren't necessarily the best. Whether spoken or unspoken, there is this largely false idea that your teenage years are the best of your life. It's really not this black and white at all. There is no timeline on when you're in your prime, because it's different from everybody. Right now, I know I'm not there yet. I'm currently stuck in that weird in-between where there's more responsibility and new things to tackle, but little recognition for it. When I think about getting older, it's not about wishing my life away, but wanting to move into a new stage where I feel I could really be all that I'm capable of. Be vocal about the things that move you or you feel need ...
I’m not here to be liked, I’m here to be me.
I met a guy back in September last year. He seemed like the sort I'd be surprised by- and I was- just not pleasantly.I did manage to surprise me though, pleasantly. For the first time, just like any other teenager, I went to the movies with a group of friends. This guy and his group. They'd extended an invitation and I was so pleased with how things seemed to be going between us- of course I was going to accept. What else was there to do?I live with less regrets than I did when I was younger so I won't say the last seven months were spent uselessly. I got a taste of the normal life, the one I can't and never have seemed to be able to embrace. I like the quiet, the solace that comes only from empty rooms. I like intellectuals; emotional stimulation. Many people my age just don't fit the bar. I've realised this is not about them or myself at all. It's about the divide that comes from having frequent experiences that are worlds apart... and traumatic.This guy that I'd placed so much faith in, who had seemed different, who I'd felt I connected with, was somehow not on ...

10 questions with Carly Allison- chatting all things lifestyle, veganism, travel and fashion
Hello Carly! Thank you so much for agreeing to this interview. First off, can you tell us about you and your blog? I’m Carly and I’m a fifteen year old blogger from Seattle, Washington. I’ve had my blog lovecarlyallison.com for five years. It started off as an art and DIY blog and has morphed into a travel, lifestyle and fashion blog! How do you balance your personal life with blogging and podcasting? This is something I’m always working on. I think a really important part is to decide what parts of your life you are going to keep personal and what you are going to share online. What is your philosophy of life and why? My philosophy on life is the way you look at something is the way it is. I think that if you look at something with a positive outlook it will seem better than it is. The same thing goes with negativity- if you complain constantly and only see the bad, that’s all there will ever be for you. What strengths of yours make you a good blogger? I’m best at expressing myself with writing or typing rather than words in the ...
