Chapter(s), Not The Book
I haven’t written on this blog for a while. However, my timeline shifted so fast last year, that I didn’t have a chance to fully take it all in let alone come on here and update this. Plus, Writing on here was mainly to showcase copywriting + also the pleasure typing thoughts, opinions and feelings give me.
This post will be a range of different things. Ranging from experiences, lessons and new dreams.
So lets start with the obvious… I moved from the family home, the home I’d lived in my entire existence to my first ever flat - IN BRIGHTON. I got offered my dream job, at my absolute dream company + with the privilege to work with my idol, *box ticked*!
How amazing! It was a true whirlwind and I was fully swept up in its bliss. I moved down in June and the rest feels like an honest blur (yet I remember every single detail) - it truly feels like one of those dreams from childhood that was super vivid yet you still can recall everything years later + be able to share every scent, noise, experience. I was able to work with Zoe Sugg on exciting projects like Carrie Elizabeths collaboration collection launch, personal channel story designs, and many more!!
Getting to work on brand deals, creating content from briefs to the social channels. Working with the team on blog concepts and imagery / video curations and graphics. Zoella social, and getting to just be apart of something so many people interact with and have followed for years (myself included).
Another chapter of this was, of course, living alone for the first time. This has provided a roller coaster of emotions as well. Cooking, cleaning, living alone-being a challenge, funding the living space… the balance of prioritising socialising after work, exercising, enjoying the flat and the space it gave me to be independent. All things most of us all crave right?
All this aligned, I feel I’ve thrived within this experience. I have truly loved every second. Even the days where my own company wasn’t quite enough. But learning to manage these emotions and to find ways to keep busy / positive. I had some preparation for this though, as being an only child, my own company has always been easy and simple. It’s finding things that fill the spaces. Exercise, cooking, tidying, self-care, phone calls/FT, going for walks, reading, etc etc.
All of these amazing moments have helped to shape a new version of myself. And for that I am grateful.
Now, onto a new chapter…
