This Generation

I am a part of the generation,
where pouting is a second nature.
The numbers on my gram
decide on my self-worth of the day.
I don't feel pretty
until somebody tells me that I am.
But then I respond to compliments
with self-deprecation.

I am a part of the generation
where I hate myself
but I am also madly obsessed with my selfie.
I'll swear to you I am self-conscious
but, show myself off like I am the epitome of confidence.
Call me self-conceited, or a fake
I'm just trying to survive in this world full of hate.

I was raised in the generation
where beauty comes first
but amongst the other contenders
I'm simply a pretender
hand me a book
 rather than cover me in lipstick
show me worlds of imagination
not beauty guru's imitations.
I care more for my thoughts
than I do of my looks.

With this generation
I aim to impress
but surely I can do that with more than how I dress?
My voice and opinions should not be limitations
For I am a person
worth more than numbers or hesitation
why should I conform to the role of my generation?

Summer plans for the blog

Today  I was out with my best friend Demi, we were discussing Summer and plans and everything. It got me thinking that perhaps I could do some more things for my blog.
1) Like maybe if I am having an interesting day or something I could perhaps have a go at Vlogging, scary thought I know. I do also plan on going shopping and maybe get a new tattoo or a few, and I could film a haul and some experiences. I would post this content this blog for you guys, I know this is a writing blog but I don't want to limit myself, plus sometimes (especially with hauls) visuals do help! Don't worry videos won't take over my blog, I will mainly be doing things on the weekend due to babysitting through the week. Plus if after the Summer I continued to do video stuff on here it would probably be like once a month if that due to college starting up again.
2) I want to start a college series in August/Septmeber, just to give advice and share experiences. I did try this a while back but I wasn't focused then, and now I am ready to take on more. These series will be like a once a week thing, maybe every Tuesday, who knows things could change by then.
3)If you guys aren't aware already I am very much looking into journalism and well I am wanting to play around with interviewing and article writing, so I think I am going to try and do a few pieces and put them out onto my blog, it isn't very serious like I will be interviewing to teachers, college students, different people who work in different professions, just something chill. Something for me to practice on and for you to be entertained by.
4) Weekly favourites are coming back, now my exams are over I have more time and I'm not being boring(ish) anymore, so I can go back to posting my favourites every Sunday!

That's all for this lovely Friday, sorry for a late one. Any thoughts please let me know!
