Sport has always been something I've felt not great about but it is something I've thought about a lot recently. After seeing Hannah Witton's video My Relationship with Sport and Exercise, I got to thinking about my relationship with sport. I'll give you a little teaser, it's non-existent.
By default, I've always been a Manchester City fan. But because it is only my brother who's big on football, I was never actively involved in supporting them. In my life I've been to three football matches. 1. A City match I remember nothing about. 2. The London 2012 Olympics which I remember nothing about (not entirely sure it actually happened) 3. Manchester City Women cup final win about two weeks ago.
Hearing Hannah talk about the women's team inspired me to go and see them myself. I do think it's a great thing to support because the amount of people who'll attend a women's football match doesn't even compare the number at a men's match. (Funny considering the women won that day and the men lost) I had a really great time. It makes me very nervous to watch football but it's also incredibly exciting. I don't feel the same about it when I see a match on TV than when I go in person. Usually on TV, I'm just not that invested. I'd like to be but I'm not.
When thinking about sport, what always pops up is humiliation education or as it's more commonly known Physical Education (P.E.). I hated this in school. Not because I hated sport but because I wasn't good at it. If you weren't good at sport, you were disliked in PE. There wasn't encouragement to improve so I stopped trying. Any enthusiasm I had for sports was gone after a PE lesson. And now I'm just trying to get that enthusiasm back. I will never be good at any sport. But I do think I could enjoy it again.
This has been a little random. I didn't really have a point to make other than watch Hannah Witton and PE was awful. These were some of my thoughts on sport, feel free to share yours with me. Thank you for reading
For a very long time I've wanted to make films. At the age of 8, to a crowd of my own reflection, I gave a wonderful Oscars speech. My friend and I would always make videos on our crappy cameras thinking for some reason that they were Hollywood hits. Some of the best titles included Super Frog, Hopscotch Monster, and Invasion of the Dinos (which sadly never made it to production). I don't know what made us think of those things but I do know what inspires me to write now. So here are eight films that inspire me to make films:
In my last post I outlined the struggles I've faced in the past few years and it helped me realise I need help. Not from therapists or doctors I've had enough of those. I need to help myself. That is why I've made the decision to be healthy mentally and physically. I know it's two in the morning so my brain is a little muddled but I think day time Erin will agree with me. I don't believe that you can just decide to be happy one day but you can decide to be healthy. Or at least try to be and that's what I plan to do.
Just when you thought I would stop talking about The Fosters, I come back with a whole post about it. But this isn't going to be me talking about how great the show is or the fact that I ship Jonnor like there's no tomorrow. This is, finally, another Erin Writes post. I made this series when I first started blogging and since then have only written three posts on it. There have been various different reasons as to why I only did three but more recently it was due to my complete lack of inspiration. I went for around two months without writing a single word for any of my books. It didn't bother me too much though until I started watching The Fosters when I realised how long it had been since I had written.
Two years ago I started watching Zoella on YouTube. This was when she just hit one million subscribers. It's difficult not to love Zoe's personality within the videos she makes. But as her channel grew, I unsubscribed. This was mostly because the content of her channel didn't interest me anymore. I just wasn't much of a fan and to be honest I wouldn't say I really am now. A few days ago I started to watch some of Zoe's vlogs and now I'm subscribed to her second channel. Today I thought I would write this post to explain to you why I find Zoella inspiring.
About a week ago I wrote a post about Carrie Hope Fletcher (which you can see here) and so today I decided I should write a review of her book. I'm quite a slow reader and All I Know Now only took about 10 days to read which is good, for me. And I found the whole book to be inspiring and one that I could just read over and over again.
I am not much of a summer person. Currently I am sat in the garden feeling super uncomfortable and having spiders invade my personal space, in the hope that my skin tone can possibly change from ghost to fresh corpse. (That was a joke but seriously I am unhealthily pale. Go and sit in the sun if you can, it helps with staying alive and stuff.) Anyway, I have never really enjoyed summer but this year I seem quite excited about it so today I thought I would share with you some of the things I would like to do this Summer:
When I was around 12, I found Carrie Fletcher (Its Way Past My Bedtime) on YouTube. It was about 11pm and I had been watching Danisnotonfire when I saw a video he made with Carrie. I instantly knew who she was because a friend of mine had said she watched her channel. At first I thought I'll just watch one video but I think we all know that on YouTube that sentence is laughed at frequently. Needless to say, I was awake till stupidly late watching all of Carrie's videos. I've always found I could relate to her in one way or the other. Back then I think it was because we both have curly hair, and my brother is also in a band (not a famous one, obviously. And to be honest I've never actually heard them before so they could be terrible but that isn't the point). Now I've come to find many more reasons that I find Carrie Fletcher so inspirational.
I can go months without having a single word to write in my books. It can be very annoying, especially if I've set myself a deadline. And I find that if I force myself to write, it is never as good. So today I thought I would share with you some tips to help with writers block.
This month the group I am apart of, the Beau Bloggers, have a theme of inspiration so I thought I would write about the things that inspire me to write. Inspiration is found everywhere in life and one small thing can come from all different places of inspiration making creations extra beautiful.
