1) Music
Anyone who knows me well (or just at all) will know that music is my main love. Not performing music- I'm not that talented! Just music in general. The way it makes me feel. The way I can connect with an artist through their lyrics. The way my memories and moments in my life can live on through a certain song. I honestly love it so much and spend nearly all of my free time plugged in to Spotify.

2) Concerts
Hand in hand with music, are concerts. It's fair to say that concerts are definitely my happy places, somewhere that I can just forget about the world and all my problems, and just live there in the moment with some of my favourite bands/artists.

3) Meeting band members/YouTubers
I've been lucky enough to have met several of my favourite band members and YouTubers over the years, and honestly they were so lovely. The feeling that I had after meeting them is one of the best feelings ever, especially when you see them in concert after and feel like you have a special connection even though you only met for a few seconds.

4) YouTube
I've been watching YouTube religiously now for 4 years and still love it as much as ever. I feel like I can connect with the YouTubers as they have a lot in common with me and just come across as genuinely nice people. My favourite types of video are vlogs as I find it so interesting seeing what other people do in their lives, and quite often I take it as inspiration for things I can do in my own!
Nothing better than catching up on YouTube
5) Travelling
By travelling I don't necessarily mean leaving the country, I just mean exploring new places. I've been lucky enough to travel to new cities in the UK these past few years as before that I'd never really been up North. I love the feeling of experiencing this new place, and feeling like you've left your troubles behind, even if it's just for a night. In 2016 I got to visit Bristol and Birmingham, with even more adventures to come this year as I'm going to Cardiff, Dublin, Mallorca and possibly even Oslo!

6) Taking Photos
Now I'm not the best at photography, in fact my camera is just the one on my iPhone, but I love it nonetheless. I just love catching a memory and knowing that it has been preserved forever. I especially enjoy taking photos of landscapes, cities and sunsets. This past year I've been obsessed with printing my photos off as polaroids and sticking them on my wall. I just like having physical copies and knowing that I have them safe to look back on at any time. I'm currently saving up to buy myself a proper camera so I can improve my pictures even more!

There you go! As you can probably tell I'm quite the fangirl! I hope you learnt a bit more about me in this post, and as I said before I hope to blog more about these things!
Thanks for reading!
