18th Birthday...

It's just over a week till my 18th birthday- exciting!! This is the time of year, for me, when people say 'what do you want?', and I jokingly reply 'world peace'. Well, this year I'm changing my answer. This year, I want better research into and treatment for mental illnesses. It's all I've ever wanted, really; it's the one thing I've wanted to change about the world, for as long as I can remember. However, this year I'm doing whatever I can to help us to get there- and I'm asking for your help. If you were planning on getting me a present/card for my birthday, then I've got a small ask for you. Instead of getting me something, I would much much rather you made a donation to my 2015in2015 campaign instead. It's not that I don't appreciate presents, of course I do. It's just, you see, there's really nothing I need- I've got my health and happiness, I've got love and friendship. Mental health research/treatments need funding, and if I can help give them that, then that's what I will do. If you weren't planning on getting me anything then that's totally cool, ignore this status! But if you were, please take a minute to check out www.justgiving.com/2015in2015, and make a donation- it doesn't matter how big or small, it just matters to me that you've made one. Thank you so so much, and I hope you have a beautiful day x ‪

Update :)

Hey!! How are you doing?! Me?- I'm doing alright thanks. The sun is up, and so am I! So far this week, I have worn my unicorn onesie for the first of the month, gone back to social media and- eek!- given up chocolate for a month. By 'chocolate' I mean anything that has 'cocoa' listed as a main ingredient. So, yup, back to not having Milky Bar yoghurts and Pop Tarts :( I also don't get to have the amazing chocolatey things they do at school, or any kind of chocolate biscuit. So far, it's been pretty damn difficult (especially considering PMS, which is making me want to eat ALL the things, particularly the chocolate ones). However, it's all for a good cause, right?! Anyway, I'm gonna go and revise... :( Here's hoping you have a fantastic day :) <3
