A Very Important Beginning

I suck at writing blogs. 

Its like diaries, I start off reasonably well, posting every so often, but before long I get bored of myself or just simply forget about it altogether.

I had a blog before, based on me learning to live with my mental health. I think I got 5 or 6 posts in until, again, I lost interest. You could say I am easily dis-

There is a reason for that rather boring introduction. And that is because I am bored. Extremely. 

Now, don't get me wrong, I am happy. I have a loving family, a wonderful boyfriend, a steady job and a great flat with said boyfriend. 

But dear god can it be boring. And that is mostly down to me.

As some of you may know I have some mental health issues. About 5 years ago, at the end of my second year it hit me like a ton of bricks. I won't go into too much detail right now, but it has had an enormous effect on me. I've completely accepted it, but I am still learning to live with it. 

Unfortunately it has held me back from enjoying, well, life. Living with a black cloud wrapped around you makes getting out of bed seem the hardest and scariest thing to do, let alone sociaising and trying new things. 

So this is where it stops, with 3 words: My Bucket List.

It's something we have all thought about - what things do I really want to do before its too late?

I initially thought about what I could do in the next 5 years. Being 25 years old I thought 5 years is a good time frame - What to do before I hit 30?

But then I thought, why should I limit myself to just 5 years? I've already limited myself by being too scared and too wrapped up in my mind to go out and just live my life. So the less restrictions the better. 

I do have to be realistic though - financially there are some things that will be impossible. I will however give it my best shot. And not all Bucket List Items have to be massive, a small thing can have the biggest meaning too.

And I am already one, well 2 step ahead, as I have already done 2 items. 

You'll have to wait for the next amazingly interesting blog about this though. I promise (attempting at) amusing tales of badminton and food. 

I bet you can't wait.
