truth – Page 4 – Not So Perfect

The Loudest Voice

Lots of things are loud. Like fire drills. Like train stations. The city. Crowded buses. Airports. Motorways. Lunchbreak at school. And life.

This post has been a long time coming… I wrote it in my notebook late one night a couple of months ago when I couldn’t sleep. Since then, it’s been sitting in my drafts, waiting for the right time to be published. I really feel passionate about this- it’s something that’s been on my heartContinue reading “Dear Girl: A Letter”

Thoughts On The New Year- A Guest Post by Addie

Happy New Year, sweet friend! Wow- I can hardly believe that it’s a whole new year… 2021!

This Is the Day pt. 2

When I wrote and published the first part to this post, there were 30 days left in the year. Now there are only 22. Time is ticking into next year, and I feel an insuperable urge to really make the most of these last 22 days… to make each day count and to live withoutContinue reading “This Is the Day pt. 2”

This Is the Day

30 days left in 2020. Can you believe it?!?! I know for one I can’t! This year has gone so fast, I can still vividly remember December 31st, 2019. My family and I were spending a couple nights with friends we visit every New Years. The five of us girls were eagerly awaiting midnight; watchingContinue reading “This Is the Day”

When you’ve had a bad day…

The other day, I arrived home from school, totally shattered. My day hadn’t been going my way, right from the word go. I had had bad news first thing in the morning, I didn’t feel too good, I was in a rush to leave the house, I was super stressed, my relationships with some ofContinue reading “When you’ve had a bad day…”

A Little Something to Remember This Election Day

Yesterday was… a big day for Americans, to put it simply. How the voters voted will now determine who rules their country for the next five years. And that can seem kind of scary and big. It can feel a little out of control too. Now, I’m fully aware election day was yesterday- I’m notContinue reading “A Little Something to Remember This Election Day”

I Am Who You Say I Am

A habit I’ve developed over the past couple of months is to speak words of truth over myself. I get it- that sounds pretty weird. But hear me out, okay? Since I’ve started Not So Perfect, I’ve felt like I’ve had to put myself ‘out-there’ a bit more and make myself more vulnerable. I’ve alsoContinue reading “I Am Who You Say I Am”
