Treacle Moon's #BeYou project

Many young people in today's society have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders to be what society classes as normal. They are made into somebody that they are not just to be accepted by their peers. It is so easy to be somebody else around other people, you can easily lose sight of who you really are. The popularity of social media is also at the highest point, especially for young people, which also means it is now harder and harder for young people to be accepted into society and this leads to bullying, which is now also happening when the young people go home, through their phones and the internet. If everybody in the world were identical, it would be a boring place to live. I am working with Treacle Moon and  I am promoting #BeYou.



Treacle Moon's #BeYou project is about having the confidence to be exactly who you are, not what other people want you to be. It's about having the confidence to stand up and speak out and not just following the crowd. It is showing people how wonderful it is to just #BeYou. Treacle Moon are also working alongside Bullies Out, to raise awareness and funds for the amazing work they do to help victims of bullying.


Being yourself is one of the easiest things you can be. If you like different music, embrace it. If you wear different clothes to the people you know, work it.  If you don't like the latest trends, that is okay. Never be or do anything that you feel uncomfortble with, just #BeYou. When people make negative comments about you, don't think you need to change your whole personality to fit their idea of perfection. Grow from it and you can and will become stronger. So many people will love you for you.

It it okay to be yourself!

'I was taught that being myself was not only okay, but encouraged-and by being unapologetically yourself, you thrive and inspire others to thrive' - Tyler Oakley 

 This project is something that needs to be talked about. If you are wondering how to get invloved you can;
Tweet @treaclemoon_UK an inspiring quote, whether you make it up or if you see one you like on the internet. Be sure to include #BeYou.
You can also post on Facebook or Instagram a picture of something that makes you, you. Whether you have a weird hobby or a unique fashion sense.
Treacle Moon also have merchandise for the #BeYou project. You can buy a wristband, a bag or a T-shirt, just like mine and wear them with pride to show you are supporting #BeYou. Again, they would love to see it on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with the hashtag #BeYou.
You can also fundraise for Bullies Out through cake sales and other fundraisers.

I will also be looking on instragram and twitter at the hashtag #BeYou to see your posts and the awareness being raised for this incredible project.

I'M ON THE AKINATOR

It is coming up for a year when I started to consistantly write this blog. I write it for fun, I don't ever write it for fame, I just love people to read it. I never think people actually take in what I write, but I'm starting to see that there are people who read every single post of mine, because as you can read from the title, this blog, me, is on the Akinator!!!!

If you are unaware of what the akinator is, it is one of those online games where 'a genie' asks you a series of questions and it guesses who you are thinking of. It is mainly famous people or it can answer 'Your mum' 'Your brother' but never with specific names.This game has been played many times by youtubers. I thought as I have this blog (even though it isn't very big), I would see if somebody has put me on there, AND IT WORKED. It guessed my tiny little blog.

I was so excited about this, because I feel as if with every month, this blog is achieving more and more every single time I post. And it also means people are liking what I write to actually know me and my blog.
I would like to say thank you to the person who thought I was good enough to be on it and also to the other people who have thought of me and played it. This is so exciting and I'm incredibly grateful.

Feel free to go over to the Akinator and play this!

Until next time

P.S. This is in no way bragging, I am just so excited about it. And this is not a paid advertorial.

Life Update : Moving to Univerisity

Writing this blog is something that took a backseat for a while, because big changes were happening in my life, so now I'm back and ready to update you!

On Saturday 26th September, I left my little hometown and moved to a city over 2 hours away all by myself. I ventured to the world of univeristy to start my degree in Adult Nursing. I was so excited for this adventure to begin.

University was so incredibly scary to begin with. I was living with 7 other people, who I'd never met before the day. I was so nervous to start with but I've settled in really well and I love it here. This is my new home. I've made a little family in my flat and met amazing people on my course. I've learnt so much in such a short space of time and I feel like I've been here for years not just a short month.

The change was scary, but good at the same time. I can't believe I'm actually here. I was homesick to start with, but after a trip home last week, I missed it at univeristy.

Never give up on your dreams because change seems scary. Go for everything you want head first. I'm Back!
