The Art Of Being Single


I know what you're all thinking..."ugh here we go again, another rant about your failing love life?"
That's probably not what you're thinking actually, I'm clearly too mean to myself.
But no, this will not be a rant.
I'm tired of that.

Instead I shall try to turn the tables and have an appreciative post, enjoying the benefits of my love drought.
Yeah you heard me, love drought
My new name for my love life because my love life is dryer than the Sahara dessert at the moment.

I feel like I'm going to get bombarded with people saying "remember you don't need a boyfriend to be happy" after posting this and all I have to say is, believe me I know, I've spent months trying to drill that thought into my thick skull and finally I truly understand that true happiness, comes from within.
I know... I'm Gandhi af.

To be honest I'm still not sure whether I actually want to be in a relationship or just like the idea of it, eh..i don't know and I have no actual way of finding it out unless I spend a good long hour thinking about it and then again I probably wouldn't get a clear answer, just smoke coming from my brain and probably brain damage.

I'll just be confused for the time being
Instead of making a list (WHICH I SEEM TO DO REGULARLY ON MY BLOG POSTS BTW) lets have a discussion, what are the positives of being single?
Well, for me even when I'm not in a relationship and just have a crush, I turn into a demon I get jealous, insecure and paranoid and then when I'm actually in a relationship, all of that behaviour gets ENHANCED..its all just..no thanks.
That kind of stress, for me especially since I'm pretty psychotic is NOT.NEEDED so for now I'll embrace my stress free life.

Lets elaborate on the insecurity, I'll admit when I do get into relationships, instead of being chill and enjoying the relationship, I obsess and focus on if I'm pretty enough and worry if anyone is going to steal the guy I'm dating.
Its annoying really, its like a subconscious thought in my head constantly saying
"This girl likes your boyfriend, he's going to start liking her back. DO SOMETHING"
"You look gross today, he's going to leave you"
"Don't put your hair in a ponytail, it makes your forehead look too big, he'll think its ugly"

Yeah.. it also doesn't help that I see
"GOALS"
"RELATIONSHIP GOALS <333333"
plastered everywhere, I'll start getting upset wishing I was prettier, to match my pretty boyfriend
Constant comparison will destroy you.
I DONT KNOW HOW BUT SOMEHOW EVERY COUPLE IN THOSE DAMN "RELATIONSHIP GOALS" PICTURES ARE GORGEOUS AF, I WANNA KNOW THEIR SECRET.

Moving on, what else is good about being single?
Oh yeah, the freedom, the liberation, the fact you could go to a club and marry 3 different people without bae getting mad.
Wait is that even legal?
Oh well, you could do it anyway because you are single.

Also no relationship=no fear of heartbreak
YES. THATS PROBABLY THE BEST PART.

..Wow.. in this huge babble I've only listed like 3 positives...OH WELL
I know I kinda just rambled but I did try to make this like my old funnier posts, I hope you liked it.
And in all seriousness, I do constantly try and look at the positives of being single, I'm only 16 I have a long time to find a boyfriend but sometimes I do wish I had someone to give meh the cuddles *cough* DAN HOWELL *cough*
Its not always fun being single but hey,
if you can enjoy it and walk the earth with a "idgaf about dating" attitude
then you my friend, are an artist
;)

P.S: This post was somewhat inspired by this video by Buzzfeed

And this is one of my favourite posts to read, it is by Jon Cozart/Paint
http://joncozart.tumblr.com/post/14007267327/why-i-want-a-girlfriend
It pretty much breaks down why he wants a girlfriend (which I think he has now) but it also draws similarities to why I want a boyfriend.
Enjoy.

My Thoughts On Going Back To School

So I was inspired by a girl named Izzy to talk about my thoughts on going back to school and I thought it was a great idea! I personally have an extremely strong opinion on school so when I talk about it I speak with 0 filter. I hate school with a fiery passion. (See, I do not sugar coat my hatred) I hate the teachers. I hate the homework. I hate the learning. And I sure as hell hate the horrendous uniform. Seeing my friends is the only thing that convinces me to get up at 6:45 every morning and attend. ..Well that and the occasional bake sales.. Luckily enough I live in the Uk so I don't start school till September the 4th (On a Thursday) But I have so many assignments I haven't completed yet. I even have a Food Technology assignment where I have to bake 5 things and take a picture of them and send them to my teacher. Yeah.. like that's happening I'll probably just steal some from a cooking website. ..Wow I'm just the perfect

Why I'm Envious Of Americans

So as some of you may know, I went back to school.. -.- I absolutely hate it and I've only been back for 2 days *sigh* Since this is a pretty important year I'll probably have to stick to posting once a week by completing posts and uploading them on the weekend.  Although whenever I get holidays I will vow to post as much as I can without getting annoying. Now in case you're wondering: Why not complete multiple posts on the weekends and save them as drafts? I wanted to but I realised its better to wait a few days so fresh ideas can come out then type loads of boring rambly ideas in an hour. Hope you understand where I'm coming from :) Anyways lets get onto what I'm supposed to be talking about shall we? At first I was going to talk about answers to questions people have for British people since I'm British but instead I thought It would be better to talk about my envy for Americans Trust me, this is not as serious/evil as it sou

So My Prom Is Next Year...

So recently I done a collab with Caroline Reinhart and we both talked about Prom, you can check out my post here: http://www.emojicorn.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/guest-post-my-first-prom-experience-by.html The thing is, I happily made that post knowing I would not have prom for at least another 2 years. Yeah.. my prom is in 8 months. 8 Months You may be wondering, prom is fun, what's bad about that? Back in primary school it would've been fun but not now, definitely not. I'm not sure why I feel this way but I just really don't want a prom, the stress of trying to look good with probably land me in hospital and my school severely lacks the 'Troy And Gabriella Romance' it so desperately needs. I mean seriously there's more romance between me and my phone than there is in the school, and that's saying something. I'm probably just going to buy a cheap dress from Primark, literally no one cares what you look like and I re
