Howdy gang,
So today I have a bit of a life-type post. Don't get all emosh with it, it's going to be a positive post. So stop getting stressed. Goodness me.
Okay so, what I want to talk about is my opinions of life and how I feel about stuff. I was in a very serious car accident over a year ago, the details of which I won't go into, but it made me think about life and what's important to me. All a bit stressful and the last year certainly has been but in this post I am going to talk about the positive effects that this experience has had on me.
YOLO
It's true y'know. YOLO (You Only Live Once) is a thing. It's my new motto. If you go on my twitter (@ChloeFrench93) you'll see that my bio is simply 'YOLO'. My near-death experience just made me think about how life can be very short and could be taken away from you at any time which isn't nice at all. You never think that it could happen to you. So, now, I'm taking opportunities that I probably wouldn't have considered before. For example, when Ash (my boyfriend) and I went to Turkey I didn't want to get into the swimming pool because it was jolly cold and I would be frozen. But I told myself 'YOLO' and knew I'd regret not getting in that pool because I wasn't going to have that experience again. So I did it. In my head I went "1...2...3...YOLO!". And it was blooming freezing and in hindsight that probably wasn't a good idea. Maybe this wasn't the best example...ahem. Some other things that I've done that I probably wouldn't have done before:
- Spontaneously went to London to meet Kandee Johnson (one of my favourite YouTubers) with my best Irish buddy Ciara.
- Started a nail technician course.
- Got a last minute ticket to see Hairspray that a friend was offering.
- Ate a lot of noodles from my fave restaurant in Worcester (probably would have done that anyway)
They are just a few things. I had the courage to do what I wanted because life is short and you gotta do what you wanna do.
The simple things in life
Ooh I do appreciate the little things now. I'll go to Lush, get myself a bath bomb, buy a candle from TK Maxx, come home, run a bath and read a book. And I'll appreciate that hour that I'll have to relax and do what I want to do, because things could be a lot worse. I could be at the hospital or whatever, something else equally rubbish or even worse. It just makes me feel good that I can have this time just to do little things. My best buddy Hannah and I spend hours watching one of our fave TV programmes (House) because we can, and we enjoy it. We're just chillin'. And I love times like that.
Family
Well this goes without saying really. I cherish every single moment that I have with my famalam. And I am so grateful that we are all still here. Every day I think about people who have lost someone close to them and my heart aches for them. I pray for those people to be strong and think about how I appreciate who I have here with me.
In conclusion
So basically, I appreciate stuff in life now. I'm not saying that it's not hard and life is wonderful all the time, I'm just saying that it's important not to take things for granted. And that's all I gotta say.
Don't worry. Be happy.
Chloe
