2013 in Photos

January

January was the month of no school because of snow,


 the consumption of mini eggs,


the purchase of many books,


happy nephews,


to kill a mockingbird,


 Harry Potter necklaces,


bookshops,



and rainy bus stops.



January was friends, family and happiness. January was happy pictures of friends I can no longer show. January was good to me.

February

February was the month of Temple Run 2,


a very 'sweet' valentines day,


mild, sunshiney motorways,


and baking.


February was friends, family, happiness and the Believe Tour. February was happy pictures of friends I can no longer show. February was amazing to me.

March

March was the month of a very happy Megan,


sparkly hello kitty pez dispensers,


panda nails,


the first signs of spring,


and hiding from the cold at friend's houses.


March was friends, family, happiness, pastels, Beautiful Creatures and cinemas. March was happy pictures of friends I can no longer show. March was wonderful.

April

April was the month of sibling love,


selfies with nephews,


a new found love for Yankee Candle,


my braces off,


and fluffy doggy love.


April was friends, family, happiness, barbecues, instagram and ice cream. April was happy pictures of friends I can no longer show. April was lovely.

May

May was the month of pretty lace dresses,


pastel skater skirts,


heart shaped sunglasses,


sunshine,


fanpages,


and loss. May was the breakdown of friendships and twists of fate. May was a sudden state of depression. It was anger, hurt and fear. May was lonely.

May was making myself sick at school so that I could escape. This was wrong.

May was my Mum bringing iced coffee and tea cakes into my bedroom as an attempt to cheer me up as I sobbed into my pillow, begging to move schools. I love her.


May was a lot of love from you guys. I can not express just how much your love impacted me to keep smiling. Without the knowledge of always having someone to talk to, I have no I idea where I would be right now. Thank you.


May was a blur. It was sitting in the school library on my own during break and lunch times, hiding from the world. May was a constant stinging of blood shot eyes. It was no friends and many disappointments. May made me stronger.

June

June was being saved by new people, and being welcomed into a new friendship group where I felt supported and accepted. June was me rebuilding myself, and regaining happiness. It was hard, but I was getting there. June would still have spells of tears.

June was regaining strength through God and The Lord, making be a better person,


sunshiney shopping with my sister,


lemon meringue pie,


building bonds,


work experience,


and my sister planting pictures of Phil Mitchell all over my room whilst I was out.


June was hard at times due to something that was still raw, but June was showing signs of happiness. It was adjusting to new surroundings and people, but June was me seeing the light, and I am forever thankful.

July

July was the month of flowers,


and my first true smile in weeks, months even.


And the smiles kept coming.


I was even smiling on SPORTS DAY!!!!


It was drinking strawberry water outside with a friend,


silly faces crossed with class A photobombing from my sister,


failed selfies with friends,


sparkly watermelon nails,



swimming with dolphins,


and a holiday to Cuba that I will never forget. (I'm so tempted to do a blogpost!! What do you think?)


It was coming back super tanned (for me anyway),



reflecting on how far I had come,


and cuddles for my teddy to thank him for being there for me when I'd find the memories resurfacing at night.


July was myself being happy again. July was meals out, sunshine, and a holiday that I will never forget. It was also a time that I got verbally abused via phone call which destroyed me again, but this time I was stronger, and I was surrounded by friends who all witnessed it for themselves. I was too strong to care.

August

August was experimenting with creative makeup,


sleepovers with my sister,


volleyball with my cousins in the sun,


playful doggies,


a new found love for highlighter,


playgrounds with my nephew,


and sibling love.


August was happy, sunny, and the last bits of Cuba and the Summer holidays. August was amazing.

September

September was the month of my Mum telling me she had seen my sparkle back,


waking up for school with crazy hair,


Disney trivia,


a lot of love for Miley Cyrus,


selfies with my Mummy,


a CHRISTMAS TREE! (In September, I know right,)


falling down slides,


party planning with Nat,


Nat drowning me in orange juice,


the first signs of autumn,


and finding my childhood sleeping bag.


September was returning to school with a clear head, feeling comfortable and secure. It was 'We Can't Stop' on replay, and a whole lot of happiness. September was beautiful.

October

October was the month of a huge Boohoo delivery,


recreating Halloween nails,


3 teenage girls attempting to fix a phone,


Halloween cake pops,


the cotton wool ball challenge with my sister,


shopping with Gina,


finding my personal 'style',


new born piglets,


pizza,


a family outing to pizza hut,


posing quite literally 'in' a tree for my sisters Media Studies photoshoot,


crazy dark makeup for a Halloween party,


a trip to Blackpool to see the lights (it really is quite beautiful),


a picture of Millie and my sister who are both 13 looking older than myself who is 16,


home made chocolate orange cake shaped like a pumpkin,


Halloween decorations,



and reminiscing.


October was busy and fun filled. October was one of my favourite months of the year. It was friends, family and mild chilly days. October was a mad Halloween party and seeing my niece and nephew dressed up for Halloween. It was happy and that is all that I could have asked for. October was special.

November

November was the month of finding ridiculous yet cute snowflake glasses in primark,


sparkly gold heels,


my birthday,


being sent this by Britt who since watching my videos has become a great friend,


a surprising pleasant birthday at school with my favourite people,


the most AMAZING birthday cake ever, made by my Mum,


receiving what I call 'my bear',


the most thoughtful gift ever off my best friends,


daring lip colours,


and a beautiful Christmas Tree in Manchester.



November was my birthday, dressing up and love. It was a sense of Christmas everywhere and I'm a Celeb 2013, which is always a highlight. It was the hacking of my first YouTube channel which I had worked so hard on for a year, but the start of a new one. It was new opportunities. November was nice.

December

December was the month of mock exams,


my disgusting school photo,


our beautiful Christmas Tree,


meek December sunlight,


being silly in a Santa hat,


and the most beautiful ring.


Most importantly, December was family, friends and delicious food. It was a time to be thankful and to look back on the year. It was time to correct our mistakes and praise our successes. December was remembering, but also forgetting and moving on. 

It was lovely writing this blogpost, but difficult all the same. It was an opportunity for me to reflect on 2013, and to see how far I'd come. It was nice to refresh myself of the memories that I will never forget. If you take anything away from this post, please let it be the fact that things really do get better. I was depressed and I felt trapped. I was suffocating in my own sadness and I was panicked that I would never be able to escape it. But I did. You can do it, and you will do it, no matter what obstacles you may come across. Make 2014 your year, and forget about any horrors you were faced with. Pack up the memories and the good things in a suitcase that I like to call your heart, and leave the bad things behind. I love you, and I hope 2014 is everything you could hope for. Live for the now, take pictures, and be optimistic. This is what will make your year the most memorable. Thanks for reading my vague description of last year and letting me share things with you.
