30 Day Writing Challenge: Exhale, Enter, Enjoy

Exhale.

I breathed in the cold air. I was stood outside of the pub, hesitant about going in. I knew you'd be there. I knew how I'd feel when I saw you. I knew that my stomach would knot itself up like it usually did around you. You'd come over, ask how i was, place your arm around my shoulders and buy me a drink. And all of that terrified me. Such a familiar feeling for me but I was terrified that one day I wouldn't be able to control it. Fear that you'd see all of the emotions that are whizzing around my body paralysed me for seconds.

Enter.

Ten seconds later, I'm in the pub. The warmth of the room caresses my body and surely enough, there you are, As predicted, you walk over, the smell of whisky catches my nostrils. "How are you? Can I get you a drink?", I know you so well. Surely enough, you buy me a rose. "Cheers" a clink of our glasses. I take a sip of my wine... Sip... Ahh.. I have arrived.

Now to enjoy the evening.

Okay, so I actually really struggled with this one and I'm still not overly proud of the work! However, I'm doing this challenge with the idea, that it's a challenge and hopefully I'll end out with some bits and bobs that I can edit and expand on to make better work! :)

30 Day Writing Challenge: Take A Risk, Do Something Writing-wise You've Never Done Before

So for this challenge, I decided to try my hand at a palindrome. Trust me, they are hard! But it was so much fun and it is definitely something I want to try more of! For those that aren't sure; a palindrome is something that reads the same one way as it does another.. For instance, the name Hannah, the word Madam.

30 Day Writing Challenge: Escapism

Escapism. At times many people just want to escape certain things in life and everyone does it differently. Some people use substances, some people run away to somewhere comforting and some people throw themselves into something creative. I'm the kind of person who throws myself into writing. I love the idea of escaping into another world, with different people and new adventures. Sometimes it's just nice to dream of an alternate reality. With writing I can also challenge myself, like this writing challenge! And attached is a photo of a bird... they're like the epitome of escapism.

30 Day Writing Challenge: Take a Photo

So this photo was taken when I went to the park with my friend Sarah and her beautiful little boy. I'm pretty proud of this photo, but i know I've got a long way to go in continuing my self teaching of photography. I've been asked to do some photos at a wedding too! :) So I might be 'not too shabby' with a camera, but to be honest, the world is a beautiful place and people should take more photos. BUT! Don't live your life through a screen, I mean, savour those memory photos too. There are images i remember that i never took photos of at the time, but i can recall them like they were yesterday! 

Things such as strolling through Barcelona streets at 1am! The sunset in Croatia. The vibrant colours of Santa Monica and the greeny blue hues of Lake Bled, Slovenia. All absolutely stunning and I did take photos! But i also experienced it, in 4d! The sights, sounds, smells and I will use the photos i took to take me back there whenever I need. Thats what photos were meant for.
