Something that came to mind recently one night was how there are certain areas about myself that nobody really knows which led me to think about whether we even know everything about ourselves. Though I feel like yes we are the ones that know ourselves best for the most part- there are certain things that only you can know about yourself and no one else can. Do any of us really know absolutely everything about ourselves?

It is true that appearance isn't what is important and that it is inner beauty that counts. That being said, we cannot deny that as a society we do focus on appearance and we all care about how we look to an extent. Taking time to look put together can help you feel put together - how you look can impact how you feel. 

Most of us want direction. And sometimes we want to have everything worked out,  but we can't because life is unpredictable.

I came up with this idea to hopefully bring some comfort and joy to someone. The idea is that I write a series of letters/ notes anonymously to help lift spirits and make people feel less alone. We aren't always as honest and open with more difficult and negative feelings, which can leave us feeling lonely - I wanted to create a space that was truthful to more negative feelings we can all sometimes experience, yet bought some hope. A place that could be a safe haven or a little pick me up for people when they need it (including me).

After researching on the internet to see if something like this existed, I found that there were no blogs which had a section of anonymous letters or notes,  or had written anonymous letters. However, I came across Letters left in London (https://lettersleftinlondon.tumblr.com) which is a blog that showcases someone's journey of leaving anonymous uplifting messages/letters in public spaces for strangers to find. Since that blog is older than mine, it is only right I mention it. It is a beautiful idea and blog so definitely go and check it out! These are a series of notes or letters, for anyone to read, but rather than being left in a public space outside, it is a section of my blog.

I hope that these put a smile on your face or bring comfort and encourage you to spread kindness and positivity into the world. But more than that, I hope it reminds you that you are never alone and that we can connect over feelings that as humans we all experience.

This section is starting off as letters or notes, but it might expand into an area of things that bring reassurance.

Have a beautiful day!

Notes to reader and self to always remember- letters to self

Social media. Incredible in so many different ways. It's a way of spreading love, positivity, connecting with people, awareness, helping out others and keeping in touch with people. But, sometimes it does the opposite - it can be negative, draining, can make you miserable and is something time consuming that leaves you feeling empty.

There are different sides to us all - but does anyone see all of them? 

I always really enjoy reading people's end of year posts and what they have learnt from that year. 2017 has been a pretty good year overall for me. But the end has not been quite the way I would have liked and I'm ready for a new beginning. New year- a new start and a fresh slate. Here are things to take away from 2017... This is what I learnt.
