Reacting to your assumptions about me!

Why hello there! 😂❤️ A couple of weeks back I asked you lot what your assumptions about me are and the response was incredible, thank you so much for getting in touch and taking the time to do so! I was nervous asking because I didn’t think anyone would reply but we’re here today so that’s a good sign 😌😂

There were so many assumptions that shocked me and I cannot wait to go through them all with you so strap your seatbelt on (this goes on for a while and is a bit of a journey).

I assume you are a very brave and patient person

I really appreciate that! 💖 I get very anxious especially when the situation involves being around loads of people and so I have chickened out of doing some things in the past but nowadays I always try to just do things even though they worry me as I know I won’t regret it. I think everyone is brave in what they’re going through and it shines through sooner or later. I am quite patient although I have my days. If I have to wait for a long time I daydream so I don’t know if it’s patience or just finding it easy to escape from that moment 🤷😂

You love most animals

Yessss!! (My impersonation of a snake is on point today 😂). I don’t like flies (who does though?) or spiders (I’m not scared of them I just hate them with a passion) and I can’t think of a valid reason not to like any other animal 🤔 My favourites are dogs, cats and fish (as they are so hypnotic 😵🐠😂).

You like trying new things

I really do! There’s so much stuff on my bucket list it’s unreal! Whether or not it will happen is another story entirely but a girl can dream! 💫 There are a lot of things I can’t do because of my health but I still hope I will be able to one day.

I assume you’re a very popular person

Is it bad that this assumption made me smile despite it not being true? It’s just nice to think that I might come across that way to someone although in real life I don’t think I am and I don’t mind not being popular. It’s not the be or end of and life goes on 😂

When I first signed up to WordPress a few days back your blog was the first that got my attention, I assumed you’re the best blogger and I still assume you laugh a lot

That is so kind of you, thank you!! I wouldn’t say I’m the best but I do laugh a lot 😂 (is it that obvious?).

You like cacti

I do but cacti don’t like me 😂 I know they have thorns (is that what you call them?) but I still feel the need to touch them and regret it to no end later on! 🌵

I think you are an inspiring and positive person, I really admire how you deal with your illness. You seem to have a lot of strength

Ahhh Thank you!!! 🤗 I get told I have a lot of strength but I don’t know if it’s that or the fact that I don’t think there really is any other choice with pain but to persist and keep going. It gets me down a lot even though I never used to think it did when I was younger but I’m learning that it’s okay to not be okay and let that show as opposed to hiding it and making things worse later on.

You’re tall(ish)

It’s a running joke in my family that I’m the smallest but I’m not that small, or at least I don’t think I am 😂 I would measure myself but I don’t for the life of me know where the measuring tape is and then there’s the whole thing of asking someone to measure me so my actual height shall remain a mystery 😂

You’re always smiling

I am most of the time now that I think about it! 😂 Of course I have my days where I find it hard to do so and a smile can feel out of reach but when I’m in a good mood it’s all I ever seem to do and I love making other people laugh.

I assume you have an artistic eye

I like to think I do! I used to LOVE art in school, apart from English it was my favourite subject. And poetry + writing stories or anything really is what gets me through the day 🖊️

I assume that YA novels are your go to

Yes!! I’ll go for anything if it’s good but at the end of the day I always go crawling back to a good YA novel asking for it’s forgiveness 😂

I think you are a person who is shy but when they know you well and when you can trust them you will open up about anything

This person just gets me!! 💖 That statement is me to a T. It takes me a long time to feel comfortable about opening up to someone that I’ve just met but I’m getting better at doing that and not letting my shyness hold me back as much (although it still has a very strong hold over me in social situations).

You prefer autumn/spring over summer/winter

I couldn’t have put it better myself! 😂 I love that breeze whether it’s more hot than cold in spring or more cold than hot in autumn 🌬️

You’re always drinking hot drinks

I’m beginning to wonder if I’m being spied on by you guys because this is just incredible! 😂 YES! My favourite being peppermint tea followed close by hot chocolate 😋☕

I assume you like making friends

I want to make friends but I’m not very good at it as I’m incredibly shy and because of my illness I’m not given the chance to be in situations where I can possibly meet and make new friends. That’s why I love the blogging community, I wish I’d discovered it sooner than I did. At the point of publishing this post I will be at my second ever event and I’m hoping to meet some new people there 😄

You are super outgoing

Hmmm i say yes to doing things a lot more than I used to but I’m still very fearful of certain situations and I don’t think that will ever change as I guess a part of social anxiety just stays with you. I don’t know if I’d want things to be any different, maybe a little bit more so that I could get important things done but not being that way is a huge part of who I am.

Thank you for reading and for those of you that sent in your assumptions! I really appreciate it and had a whale of a time answering them 😆 Have a beautiful day! 💖
