Okay!!
Money is a massive deal at the moment for almost everyone, maybe not for the queen, but anyway.. everybody’s so stressed out because either they’ve lost their job, they can’t find a job, university is going to cost too much, a gap year is going to cost too much etc etc, i mean how can you ever be happy when theres all this stress going on, WELL WELL WELL…
1:
The society we live in revolves around money, constantly it’s the only thing we hear about, people gambling money, people wanting the desginer clothes, the latest car, latest holiday, all of these add so much pressure on people to live up to OTHERS ‘standards’, just think.. if everyone had equal amounts of money how much happier would people be.. there would be no need to strive for more than what you’ve already got because everyone would be equal.. having all of the luxuries above does not add any value to who you are as a person!!

You need to be comfortable in who you are as a person.. people think that buying all this crazy stuff will make them happy when actually it might do for a while but its not fullfilling because you will just want more and more. If you feel comfortable with who you are, then you know people are going to want to be friends with you etc because you’re YOU!! There is a huge pressure in schools to be wearing the ‘expensive clothes’, no matter how cheesy it sounds beauty does come from within and it’s true! Once you are happy within yourself and are comfortable with your personality you’ll have confidence to dress however you like and know that the people love you EXACTLY how you are and if they don’t they clearly have their own insecurities.

Everybody has individual gifts which money can’t buy and are perfect for the individual person and loads of people think they’re not gifted because they don’t have a really obvious gift like art, music or sports or something and I know that personally i’ve spent most of my life everyday being all meh because i’m not somebody else or i’m not talented but actually i’ve come to realise now that gifts are in different forms and actually listening, offering advice, talking etc are all gifts so use them to the advantage of others- which is why i’m blogging. Striving after other people’s gifts is just going to end up making you feel jealous and rubbish and also completely takes your eyes off the gifts you’ve been given!

As you begin to get older the value of money becomes less in the fact we can’t buy as much for your money but also becomes more important because thats what we need to live, i read a facebook status the other day saying -
’ watching all the children getting so much for their £10, then i go to the petrol station and only just get out of the red zone’
This is so so true.. and £10 to us won’t even buy us a piece of clothing anymore, so it just gets spent on rubbish which isn’t even appreciated however £10 to someone who is homeless could literally pay for like 5 days of food, so use the money you do have wisely!
ANYWAY, remember beauty is from within and every single person is priceless because they are so individual and unique- embrace your awesomeness and GO! <3 love love love!
