Changes


Hi guys,
I didn't really have anything exciting (photography wise) to post today so I'm just going to tell you a bit more of myself.

As you know (if you have read my previous posts) I'm a photography student at college. I'm 17 years old and live in a little town in West Yorkshire. I play netball in a local laugue to try and keep fit. I play with people I could class as family, It's actually so much fun to be involved with other groups of people!

 Because I live in a small area, it's surrounded by hills, so theres plenty of places I can take my camera when I want to photography of either hills or a 'different' place for fashion photography. Recently, I showed my two friends Ethan and Stevie places in my little town where we could go to take these photos and ended up doing a mini shoot for Stevie's blog! It was such a good day out and that's one of the reasons I pushed to have my own blog, because I saw how much fun Stevie was having.

The reason the title of this post is 'Changes', is because I wanted to speak about how the past few months and how everything has changed as they occured. I have recently just got out of a relationship (I'm not going to give details), like most relationships, it ended quite badly and we both over reacted in the heat of the moment and things bottled up over time got mentioned and we both agreed we weren't happy in the relationship so we called it off. Being in a relationship I was in can be quite difficult. I felt trapped, but because I was 'in love' it was hard for me to let go, and when I finally did, I struggled for a while getting back onto my feet.Even though we aren't together anymore, and there were quite a few bad things about the relationship, there are some things that need to be credited where it's due. For example, he introduced me to all kinds of new things, like taking me to my first ever music festival and different foods etc.

About 3 months ago, I got kicked out of home, part of this was my own fault and I'm willing to admit that. It was also partly the fault of my ex (not naming) and my parents. We all had an argument, and again, in the heat of the moment things were said that weren't meant and then I moved in with my Auntie and little Cousin. Since then I have started to get back onto my feet. I've been getting the odd shift at a pub I've worked at for a while. everything between myself, my mum and my step dad have been resolved but have figured out it's best if I stay where I am, as I'm so much happier as a person/

Since I got out of the relationship I was recently in and the incident of being kicked out of home, I've become a brand new person. I'm more confident in myself, I have surrounded myself with positive things/people and life itself is looking good again.

Overall, I think the whole message of this post is saying that no matter what you're going through. If it's troubles with your parter, struggling with coursework or school, or even just a bad day in general, things will get better. Just remember that!

I know it's a day late, but I was quite nervous to post this! I hope you enjoyed reading my scramble!

Until next time,

Meet Ted



Hi guys,

I can't believe my blog has been up for a week and I've already got over 100 followers! Thank you so much! I'd like to thank one of my closest friends, Stevie (SimplyStevie9) for introducing me to the blogging world, and even writing her own blog post about me!

Anyway, This blog is about 2 things, I guess. First, Meet Ted, my four year old Golden Retriever. With me only being 5"2, it's quite hard for me to keep control of him on a lead because he's so strong! He is such a good dog, though. He is rarely ever naughty and loves anybody who gives him attention. He absolutely loves walking, and with living right in the centre of a valley, we go out quite often.
The other day, myself, my Auntie and my cousin all went to the tops, and we were out for about 3 hours! we walked up to the 'building' which you can just see at the top of the hill, from my house, and then we walked around the windmill farm then walked down and around the the local reservoir.

It was such a lovely walk! I took my camera out and managed to take some photos, and even taught my little cousin how to take them on my camera and she loved it! I'm not really sure how to go on without rambling about the same things I've already said! Just go out and have an adventure, if you have an animal or not. Explore new things and take new opportunities!

Anyhow, I think I'm going to post my blogs weekly, on a Monday which I normally have free!
Be sure to follow my Bloglovin' and Instagram (both at the top)!
The photos I took whilst on this walk are below, have a look and tell me what you think!

Until next time,

An Introduction

Hi guys,

This is my first ever blog post, so I'm not entirely sure how to start. Making a blog is something I've wanted to do for such a long time! I've never really had the time or courage to, until now. I am 17 years old and am currently studying Film and Photography at college. I figured this would be a good place to showcase my work alongside beginning a fashion blog. I've always been interested in blogging so I am starting this adventure whilst I can! As you know, I'm new to this so bare with me! Be sure to follow my Bloglovin' page (link at the top of my page) and check out my personal Instagram: MeganGledhill!

Until next time,
