Introducing 'That London Girl'...

Well that did not take long at all! After confessing yesterday that I wasn't blogging about what I wanted, and that I was going to take some time out from blogging to figure it out, it suddenly hit me, and when I really think about it, there wasn't much to figure out!

I started blogging two months ago because I loved the idea of being able to express myself through words online. Not only for random people to read and enjoy, but for me to have another way of getting my thoughts, feelings, and general rubbish off my mind. It also made me feel dangerous. I'm not one for letting everyone know my business (unless I want you to), and I have never had the confidence to air my dirty laundry, untold stories that should remain untold, and confessions etc....until now.

I follow quite a few blogs that are like online personal diaries, but public of course. I have and write my own diary, but it's an app on my Iphone that requires a password, and even though it helps in times when I need to write something before I burst, I've never had that make believe person that we speak to when writing our diary to give me the advice, love and support that I need to get me through what I am feeling. Some of you might say 'well that's what friends are for', but we all know that our friends sometimes just want to comfort us, and even though mine can be pretty blunt, sometimes we all need a big kick up the arse by people who aren't afraid to give it to us...strangers!

I find that my best writing comes out when I'm writing about things that mean something to me, people I care about, can't stand, or just want to bitch about. Family, friends, enemies (I don't have too many I hope). My ambitions and dreams, problems, relationships, and everything else that goes on in my life and the people around me. So I think the best way to describe what category - if you like - I want my blog to be in, it would be the personal/online diary one, where I can blog about what I want, whenever I want, and for everyone to see (just to add some spice to it all).

I think this will be an even better therapy than music is for me, and it will allow me to talk to people I don't know - but can relate - about it (and they're the best types of conversations). It will also give me back the confidence I once had before I went to university.

So due to this change, I have re-vamped my whole blog. It was called Baby Owls Thoughts, and it focused on everything beauty & fashion - which I didn't enjoy blogging about that much - and it has now had a makeover (let me know what you guys think). The reason for the title 'That London Girl' is because 1: I am from London, 2: I am a girl, and 3: I've had a lot of people call me 'That Girl' before either because they didn't know my name when they were bitching about me, or just because they were being mean and didn't think I was worthy of a name!

I was browsing one of the blogs I follow last night and came across this little fun questionairre. So I thought I'd kick start my new and improved blog off by filling it out.

16) Favourite quote?

'I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.'
