<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello, compadres.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
On my usual hunt for new music on spotify I came across this lyric <b><i>"It's funny how the small things can wreck away at your life" </i></b>and my did it leap out at me in some sort of weird sense of poignancy.<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but I feel everything a bit too much which for the most part is a good thing however it brings it's downsides. I feel the intensity and overwhelming-ness of having to hit certain life levels. Getting a good education, a good job, a good partner and so on. It's really not surprising that the majority of us feel lost and try to put on the brave face which eventually falters away and you end up having that "I'M A FAILURE!" spiral.<br />
<br />
This isn't groundbreaking but I've finally realised the importance of slowing the fuck down. That's meant in all aspects, relationships both romantic and platonic, finding your dream job right away, not rushing in getting over someone because you're told you should be by now. No one knows your heart like you do. Rushing into anything that feels off in the hopes it may change because you could end up wasting so much time, energy and emotion when you could be living your best life. Rushing your early 20's because before you know it, you'll blink and you'll miss it.<br />
<br />
I recently booked a last minute holiday to a quiet part of Greece and it was so nice to be away from my desk, emails, meetings and cutting down how much I was on my phone. I tried to not go on it at all but I like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trudyboulert/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> too much, sue me. I wanted to let the noise of what was going on at home drown out and it did wonders for my mental health and overall happiness. I escaped from the absolutely heartbreaking and devastating news of events at home, not out of ignorance or lack of compassion but just to focus on where I was in that exact moment for a week and fully appreciate it. I was in one of the most relaxed and beautiful environments I'd ever found myself in, surrounded by mountains and the bluest sea I've ever swam in. Not to mention finding out I burn very easily and I might be the worlds worst person at kayaking.<br />
<br />
I let myself just breathe for a minute without feeling bad about it and I cannot tell you how wonderful that felt. I'm a very firm believer of everything happens for a reason and you'll be where you're meant to be one day, as cheesy and disgusting as that is. Life can get chaotic, messy and loud but maybe within this chaos, we're really actually where we're meant to be.<br />
<br />
I feel like I'm quoting a Nicholas Sparks screenplay...<br />

oh I love a good reflective blog post. 2016 has been notoriously branded as quite the shit show and I am for the most part in agreement with that statement but I have had some wonderful moments too which I wouldn't change for the world.<br />

<li>Friendship breakups are horrendously painful but you'll be okay eventually.</li>

<li>Don't be scared to talk to people, you miss them? Tell them.</li>
<li>Drunk texting isn't as bad as you think it is, it's quite funny in the long run. Just don't make it a habit. Ignore your anxiety...unless you accidentally sexted your crush from 8 years ago/dentist/primary school teacher/boss then for the love of god RUN FOR THE HILLS.</li>

<li>Don't stop writing, even if you keep it to yourself.</li>
<li>Be your own Penny Lane. GET ON THAT PLANE TO MOROCCO.</li>
<li>Booking places to stay based on how immaturely funny you find their names is a solid plan. Sandy Balls forever.</li>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">I've been thinking a lot about where or what home is for me recently. I grew up in London and although I moved further a field when I was 19 I still refer to that dodgy part of the west, home. Every time I go back be that passing through or seeing a friend everything is familiar that I almost feel like a teenager again from the shortcuts to get to my old school, the spots where we definitely drank too much when we were 16 and the one shop that changed every week in the high street. <br /><br />As much as I love where I live now it doesn't feel like home. Sure, it's "home" in the sense of it's where my family are but </span><span style="background-color: white;">I have no real connections with it as it's not the place where I grew up. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">As I'm growing up the more I'm starting to realise maybe home isn't so much one place I find myself in but a number of places and perhaps it's the people in my life that I love and surround myself with that have become my version of home. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">First off, it's my family and it always will be. It's also the people I can be unapologetically myself around, the people who can take the good, bad and the ugly. It's the people that make me laugh and feel the most comfortable with. The people who can take my weirdness, my odd sense of humour and ridiculousness. It's the people who genuinely give a shit and to quote the pop queen, Kelly Clarkson, my life would suck without them. It's all the wonderful and sometimes questionable memories I'm collecting and making and will continue to keep making and look back on with nothing but a cheesy grin on my face and where your heart does that feely thing.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Maybe one day when I finally have that apartment or house I've always been dreaming of, that will become my sense of home which can be filled with all of the above but for right now, I'm content with who and what I define as my home.</span><br />

Anyone else got a sense of deja vu because I sure do. Hi hello, I'm back writing and hopefully for longer than a 3 month stint before falling off the edge of the earth again.<br />
<br />
In a non cliche way (trust me the cliches are coming) I've grown up a lot since starting blogging at 17 and I am such a different person that I don't feel connected to anything I really ever put online then hence a lot of it happily making it's way to the recyling bin. Now at 21 I have so much more to say about the shit that matters and actually interests me be that from social, cultural or a just book I've fallen in love with. The dad jokes and swearing are staying though, sorry mum.<br />
<br />
Let's get a little emo for a second, sorry to your cringe glands which will probably want to explode after this...<br />
<br />
The past few months have been a strange affair. Over the summer I broke a little bit to put it simply.<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic;">I was a complete and utter anxious mess.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>I was sad, not a cry and you'll be over it sad but a sad that just wasn't going. Everything was heavy and unbearable to deal with. It didn't come from one thing, but a whole heap of things that I didn't expect to be thrown my way all at once. It's a very odd thing to feel so disconnected and uninspired. Now Sad Trudy is someone I don't particularly enjoy and BOY is she my worst. Happy Trudy is incredible, I love her. She's all sorts of confident and silly but Sad Trudy you want to avoid and run into the distance and hide from until the storm blows over. I didn't know what I was doing, where I was going or who was going to be there along the way. I toughed it out with an incredible amount of help and distractions from my friends and made it. I'm okay, I feel me again and that is a fucking incredible feeling. Without throwing all the cliches at you, I realised it's so okay to feel lost because ultimately you will find your way again. It's ridiculous now looking back, I can find the humour in it and even see how stupid I was being at times for being overly hard on myself. You will wake up one day and those heavy feelings wont be there. You will be happy again, you just have to tough it out and it sucks but my god is it worth it. If you ever do get into that position, please just talk to someone. Get it out, Don't ever keep it to yourself or feel like you have to tough it out alone because there are people that care and want the best for you. Most importantly never apologise for how you feel because it's valid. Brains are strange things aren't they?<br />
<br />
emo spiel over.<br />
<br />
As it stands, I'm happy and so excited towards things, I have a list of ideas and stuff I want to do as long as my arm, some travel plans, a heap of shows coming up and maybe delving back into working on my script writing so expect a lot of talk about women in film. So, welcome back and let's hope Trudy 3.0 sticks to her word.<br />

I've always had a heavy female presence in my life, be that family members or through my education but it's only in recent months I've truly begun to realise the value and and importance of strong female friendships.<br />
<br />
I've seen an ever growing rate of all things "Girl Gang" related online and I'm so for it. In a society where we're told that other girls are our competition, that we should be pitted against one another and that we're too fat or too thin, it's so encouraging to see a number of women stick two fingers up at those ideas.<br />
<br />
From what I've learnt over the last year from my own wonderful group of incredible women is that they'll be the people who when you're a complete mess, help you. When you're in dire need of a pep talk, they'll be on hand to give it to you. They'll do whatever it takes to get you back on track when you feel a little lost be that by taking you out dancing or sitting in all day looking like hot messes and indulging in all of the pizza ever to exist whilst watching awful cheesy films that everyone secretly loves. They'll let you know if you're overreacting or if you're being a bit of a bitch. They'll give you a list of books to immerse yourself in. They'll be the ones to go and see your favourite bands and without a doubt drink a little too much wine with whilst wailing along so far out of tune. They'll remind you that you will be okay, even if it doesn't feel like it ever will be and the best thing is that they will make you laugh so hard until it's hard to breathe.<br />
<br />
To see women stand up for each other, for whats right politically and socially, to ensure other women know their worth is so empowering and I truly hope it only continues for our younger girls because in the words of our queen Amy Poehler,<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <b><i>"<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.”</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span> </i></b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My first real encounter with the idea of my future career came when I was in my final year of school when everyone was applying to university and I was completely and utterly overwhelmed. I had no idea what I wanted to do or knew if I was even ready to move away from home. Unfortunately, my school only really catered for those who wanted to go on to further education in those designated study slots so those who were unsure were left to fend for themselves. Luckily I managed to land a job which turned out to be one of the best years of my “working life” so to speak and I still miss it even now. I mean, it was a big step up from making less than average lattes which is not my greatest skill to say the least. If you can do latte art, HOW? Teach me your ways, you coffee wizard.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My role was a general office assistant for a company who supported local charities in the area and I learnt so many new skills, gained a lot more confidence within myself and at the same time gained some more qualifications in Business to add to my collection. When my placement came to an end because of funding there wasn't an opportunity to stay on full time therefore it was time for me to leave my comfort zone and find something new…entering the endless chain of finding new jobs.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I moved onto a temporary job which was a three-month contract to do a bit of data analysis work which I thought was perfect albeit boring after a while. However, I saw it as three months would fly by, I could hunt for that dream job in the meantime and all would be fine. The three-month mark came round and I hadn't found anything and I was panicking. Luckily there was an opportunity to stay on and do some maternity cover for about another ten months. I worked with a group of PA's who are such wonderful women who made going to work a lot more enjoyable, I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if I hadn't have had a good team. It was a good job with an alright pay but at the same time I knew it wasn't what I wanted to do. Plus, the cakes were a massive bonus too.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Around the same time, I met some wonderful, smart creative ladies who are now my best friends through writing, blogging and general internet-ing and this again made me ask myself "Is this really what I want?" The end of the placement came and I had nothing to go onto and it's a weird feeling. I had prepared for it and put money away each month to make sure I could support myself but reality began to hit and that's when all that could go wrong, did go wrong in the most typical way.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I left that job in August and didn't find another job until the end of December. I had countless interviews and even had one guy who make me cry mid-interview which is always nice. I cannot tell you how belittling it is however, after months of stressing I FINALLY got offered a more creative job at an interior designer just off Oxford Street and I felt on top of the world because it was the perfect thing I was waiting for. I got let go three weeks later. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The company realised they didn't need the extra pair of hands after all and as much as it sucked, I was glad. On paper it sounded brilliant but in reality? Like everything I was so grateful for the opportunity but this job taught me a few life lessons.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I frequently found myself feeling uncomfortable and feeling like I never fit in, I felt so lonely and saw my mood take a massive nose dive. I was miserable and it was really starting to take an effect on my mental health. Every morning I woke up with dread and just didn't want to be there. My anxiety shot sky high to the point where I would want to run back on my way to the station and when I did get home that evening I headed straight to the safety of my duvet haven a didn’t speak to anyone.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think the lowest point was frequently finding myself in a department store locked in the toilets most lunch breaks just crying and feeling like the biggest failure. I’m quite a bubbly, loud (I like to call it enthusiastic) chatty person but when I stepped into that office I was the complete opposite. If you ever feel like that, <b>it's okay to get out if your mental wellbeing is being compromised.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The job hunt began again, I grew more stressed and had many a cry on my mum's shoulder as well as my best friends who I salute for helping me get through those months. I decided to start <a href="http://www.trudyjohanna.co.uk/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: rgba(191, 217, 234, 0.298039); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #bfd9ea; padding-bottom: 0.05em; text-decoration: none; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out, color 0.15s ease-out;" target="_blank">writing and blogging</a> more as a distraction and again in a cliché 00’s film moment, a spark went off. You know, like in 13 Going on 30 (excellent film by the way, totally recommend) where Jenna gets the Class of 2004 photoshoot idea? Like that. I started writing about anything I fancied from beauty and fashion, life issues to TV and film and more importantly, I enjoy doing it. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have so many new ideas and plans to write both personally and professionally. I’ve found moving away from some perhaps generic topics, becoming more personal and talking openly (to an extent) about mental health or body positivity are the articles that generate the most conversation and community. An example of this is when I wrote a piece on <a href="http://www.trudyjohanna.co.uk/2015/01/her-success-is-not-your-failure.html" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: rgba(191, 217, 234, 0.298039); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #bfd9ea; padding-bottom: 0.05em; text-decoration: none; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out, color 0.15s ease-out;" target="_blank">comparing yourself to other women and how their successes are not your failures</a> and the conversation it sparked was so interesting to see and listen to. I want to create things that matter or be something in which someone can maybe take away a new perspective, maybe it won’t be an answer they were looking for but perhaps it could help in some way.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’d love for one day to try and move those from an internet space to a real life event, it might take a while but I'm determined. I've even thought about going back to an acting class and for the first time in a long time, I'm excited about what I can do with my life.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve now been in my new job for three months and I am unbelievably happy. I’m working at a charity in fundraising, marketing and communications as well as events so as you can guess I’m pretty busy but I am LOVING it. I feel a part of something again. I already feel like I've learnt so much and I have an ever growing responsibilities list which scary, fun but scary. I'm in a much better head space and feel like I have my independence back.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being an adult is hard and it comes with a lot of uncertainty and unexpected situations. In the most cliché way, it makes you realise how strong you are. You learn how to adapt and make things better for yourself and that's something I'm proud of, the fact I did this for myself. I got through some crappy months and I worked hard to get it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.75px; line-height: 22.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes I forget I’m only 21 and that I don’t have to have everything figured out. That I shouldn’t feel like I should settle because I have so much time to explore different options. I'm incredibly intrigued to see what life throws at me next and how I’m going make my goals happen because I'm a strong independent woman who can do anything she sets out to do. </span></div>

This is one of my all-time favourite films, it's definitely
one I can watch over and over again and not tire of it. Based on the book by
Cecelia Ahern, Rosie and Alex are childhood best friends and their relationship
gets tested as Alex moves away to Boston and Rosie falls pregnant. In terms of
being honest about their feelings and growing up they are their own worst
problems. The story spans over a few
years and it's one that makes you so happy but want to ugly cry at the same
time. It's charmingly funny, witty and so well played by Lily Collins and Sam
Claflin. It is a typical romantic comedy but it works so well, be prepared to
laugh and cry in the space of 10 minutes.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This film does follow the typical storyline of two friends
fall for the same guy and end up hating each other but I do really like the
message about friendship that it has to offer. "The institution of a
"No Kiss List" has prevented the two from rifts in the past, but
their bond is tested when they both fall for the same guy. The once-inseparable
pair must figure out if their friendship is strong enough to get past such an
epic predicament as they struggle with the realities of growing up" <span style="font-size: xx-small;">-<span style="line-height: 107%;"> IMBD</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Stepping away from the Rom-Com’s, Testament of Youth is a
British drama based on the WW1 memoir of Vera Brittian played by the brilliant
Alicia Vikander. The true story is bone chillingly honest and heartbreaking
whilst you learn the way the war changed Vera's life, from her education to her
close relationship with her brother (Taron Egerton) and her love for Roland
(Kit Harington). The war takes everything from her and she still kept on
fighting to live the best life. It's such a strong film and one everyone needs
to see…just have some tissues on standby.</span></div>

Once upon a time, I used to monthly vlog (or attempt to anyway) and in December I decided to stop. This was around the time of all the job stress so in all honesty making videos wasn't something I was even thinking about. However after watching last year's videos back I realised I should still be making them as they're my favourite little project that I do. It's so nice to be able to watch happy memories back whenever I want and reminisce. May includes seeing Lewis Watson, a birthday and TERRIBLE beer pong.<br />
<br />
So they're back and I hope you enjoy them too. If you do, <a href="http://bit.ly/1I1sQqF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">make sure to subscribe!</a><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I've recently glazed my eyeballs over a handful of articles which imply that if you're the single friend, you're a bit of a knob. As someone who has the reigning title of "single friend" I'm here to defend it wholeheartedly.<br />
<br />
If the guy or gal or whichever way someone identifies is deemed worthy enough for your pal, be happy for them and whether you like it or not, they're going to want to spend time with that person. AWAY FROM YOU? I KNOW HOW DARE THEY. I won't lie, it does suck a little at first whilst you adjust and find ways to still go on conquering the world as the dynamic duo. You'll still end up in the same bars and clubs reenacting the Ross and Monica dance, don't you worry.<br />
<br />
You may have to plan a little further in advance to see each other and there is nothing wrong with that. For example, my best friend and I used to see each other every week for dinner, a film, a gig or whatever and considering we live a good distance apart, that's pretty good going. As we're getting older and have more responsibilities or relationships to maintain, it's not as frequent but that doesn't undermine our friendship at all. Yeah, it's a little bit more of a logistical challenge but who doesn't like a bit of problem solving. The best friendships are those that you can spend time away from each other but as soon as you're back together, it's like you've never been apart.<br />
<br />
If there are any issues, <b>just talk about it. </b>I feel like I just want to scream this at some people, myself included. I hate confrontation, it makes me awkward and uncomfortable but keeping things to yourself just makes the issue worse and that's where pointless (dependent on subject matter) fall outs come into play and sometimes those harboured up feelings towards each other can become irreparable, so best avoid that because NOTHING sucks more than a friendship breakup.<br />
<br />
Then there's the topic of jealousy because obviously every single friend out there is riddled with jealousy and crying that Billy the bartender won't love them with Bleeding Love blaring from the distance. NO WE'RE REALLY NOT...maybe we are a little bit after a glass of wine but that's besides the point. The way these articles are written poses the idea that as soon as one of you gets in a relationship, everything changes drastically when it really doesn't. In the one's I've come across, they're mostly targeted towards women and it's sad to see other women, writing things that may sway other women to act certain ways towards other women. It's really not hard to be nice to one another.<br />
<br />
<div>
If they need you, be there. Be the shoulder to cry on, be the person they drunk text at 3am, be the person they can celebrate with, be the person they need right then and most importantly be the support they need.<br />
<br />
The way I see it is, treat them how you would want to be treated if or when it's you and if you are being the opposite of all of the above, being the single friend doesn't give you the right to be a total dick stick.<br />

Oh, Once Upon A Time you will continue to ruin my life.<br />
<br />
<b>SPOILER KLAXON SPOILER KLAXON SPOILER KLAXON.</b><br />
<br />
This week's episode of Once Upon A Time has left me so heartbroken for Hook and Emma. Like a lot of viewers I've become so invested in their relationship that after everything, even true love couldn't save them. THANKS, HADES YOU DICK<br />
<br />
To quickly recap, after giving Hades and Zelena a shot at true love, Emma takes Hades word that everyone can leave the underworld and return to Storybrooke. YAY! EVERYTHING IS FINE RIGHT?! Of course there's a catch, as Hook is dead he can't return to Storybrooke as easily as everyone else. Emma tries splitting her heart with Hook and it fails unlike it did with Robin and Regina which made us all face the harsh reality that hook was up there in Storybrooke rotting... which is a nice image for us all. Hades then happens to state a way that could bring Hook back to life, by getting hold of some ambrosia and proving that what Hook and Emma have is true love... and it failed because the tree had been cut as Hades is a you know, Lord of the underworld so WHY did anyone trust him?! After all they've done (a whole 9 episodes worth) to bring Hook back, the realisation that even their love can't save them is all too present. Hook proceeds to let Emma go, even though he loves her and this is where every viewer's heart hurt a bit.<br />

<br />
<br />
Hook and Emma's relationship has been a fan favourite and it's clear why. First off, their attraction is undeniable and THE TENSION. When they first meet, in a cliché way Emma doesn't trust him and knows he's bad news so naturally ties him to a tree. Then comes the beanstalk where Emma injures her hand and Hook treats it with his mouth as he only has one hand. Clue's in the name really. It was all a bit steamy... pirates eh? The chemistry between the two builds over time and they tend to trip and fall onto each-other a lot and casually have a sword fight. FLIRT CENTRAL. They have a kiss and we all collectively screamed FINALLY, whilst Emma insisted it would never happen again.<br />
<br />

<br />
In season three we saw them grow closer, Hook spends more time with Henry and Emma learns he gave up his ship for her, I repeat HE GAVE UP HIS SHIP. They do some more kissing and we all fall in love with them more as we go into season four and they become an actual couple.<br />

<br />
Whilst Hook was running around being the dark one seeking revenge on Rumple, Emma in an attempt to save Hook from not only Rumple, but himself sacrifices herself by channelling all of the Dark Ones into herself. Hook then sacrifices himself by convincing Emma to stab him with Excalibur so he can consume all the darkness and she will be free of it. Whilst sobbing (along with the rest of us), she transforms back into her trademark red leather jacket and becomes the saviour once again and gathers everyone to go to the underworld to save Hook.<br />

After running around the underworld, Hook is found and Emma free's him from his imprisonment by Hades bringing us to where we are now, emotionally bruised with Hook letting Emma return to Storybrooke without him. He knows his fate and wants her to move on. However Emma begs him to allow her to be his unfinished business to prevent him to move on from the underworld leaving a glimmer of hope for them.</div>

What I begrudgingly love about this scene is that it questions whether some relationships, no matter how much you love and fight for someone, it sometimes just doesn't work. In a show based off of happy endings and fairy tales, it brings some reality and to face facts. Hook is dead and has been for a while. Emma fought her hardest and tried everything she could and it still wasn't good enough to save him. Personally after this whole storyline, I expected it to work because you want them to work that's why it worked so well as a shocker and cliff hanger. The reason why I'm so mad at the writers for this though is you want Emma to have the happy ending. You want it to exist. You're really rooting for these two because they are so right for each-other and THEY LOVE ONE ANOTHER IT'S JUST NOT OKAY. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have some hope that they will find a way to reunite Captain Swan before the end of this season but I feel that could be false hope but please OUAT gods, make it happen. Either way, I'm still mad over it.</div>

<br />
Last night I watched The Michalaks new video where Hannah delved into her old diaries and spoke about her Mum. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whenever I watch Hannah and her wonderful family, I can't help but think about how much of strong woman she is. Watching this, I think it made me realise a few things. This post is going to be all of the cliches and a bit sad so you've been warned.</div>
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VErnKgsIHFs" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"I'll never forget the moment ever, just pure shock just hit me and I cried straight away. I guess life goes that way sometimes and it doesn't always run smoothly. Mum being ill has taught me how to appreciate my family and friends so much more, I don't think I really did before. I've wasted so much time that I can only learn from it and I think that's the good thing that came from it....</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>I don't even know where to start, I'm so emotional it's unbearable.... she think's it's a ticking time bomb and we don't know how long we have left to spend with her so we should see her as much as we can. It's so scary to think about it but now I just think every moment is so precious and I feel so down, I can't believe she might not be there when I get married" </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Grief is a tricky thing and it's terrifying. It's one of those awful things you can't really understand how it feels until it happens to you. It makes everything just stop and it<b> really</b> hurts. It's not just an emotional pain but a physical one, almost like someone has sucker punched you in the chest and is squeezing until you burst. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first time I experienced it properly was when I was 15. In the space of a few years a lot people were just gone. It's ridiculous but even now typing this out, unsure whether this is even a good idea to share or not, I have the biggest lump in my throat and I feel a bit heavy hearted. I guess my way of dealing with these new emotions at the time was to push them away and act like it wasn't happening. I carried on, I didn't really know what to do with myself, being 15 is confusing enough let alone something as weight bearing as a death. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As it happened again, I just suppressed it further down so I wouldn't have to feel it. I didn't and still don't want it to be real. It's weird how your mind works sometimes, I feel now six years later from the first instance I'm only now really accepting it's happened. That I'm never going to be able to have a hug, be able to smell a perfume or lay on a sofa when I'm ill in a flat I'll never step foot in again. I'll never know if they're proud of the person I am and just like Hannah, they won't be there when or if I have big events in my life such as a wedding or starting a family.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's the first time I've ever felt truly heart broken and I don't think you can ever really heal that wound. I have so much admiration for my parents or anyone who has had to lose both parents or anyone they love because I don't know how I would cope with it again. It's something, like I would guess most people, I fear the most. To love someone so much and them to be gone so quickly. I do worry for when that time does come how I'll take it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I still get really emotional about these moments now especially in the lead up to May and that's something anyone who is/has dealt with grief needs to allow themselves to be. You're allowed to be hurt, you're allowed to cry for hours because it's sucky and isn't fair. But you also have to live your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The most important thing I've learnt from this all is that talking about it helps more than you could imagine. Be that a face to face conversation or by writing it down. You have to find what works for you to feel better again. Tell people you love them, annoy the crap out of your family and friends because you want to be around them, be stupid, get drunk and go dancing until 7am. Don't waste time on things that don't matter because (here comes the massive cliche) it won't matter when the time comes. You have to live your life to the fullest, remembering all those happy memories because you won't get a do over. Spend and value that time you have with the people that mean the most. I think what Hannah said, sums it up perfectly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That was a bit deep , I really want to make some sort of witty remark to lighten the mood.... let's just all have a giggle at what a ridiculous looking baby I was.</div>

Earlier this week Little Mix embarked on their Get Weird
Tour in the UK and their wardrobe have caused some sort of controversy
questioning their worth as good role models for their fans.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I first saw the photos from the first performance in
Cardiff my mind didn’t immediately scream “OH THE HORROR, THEY’RE IN LEOTRADS
PUT THE LIMBS AWAY” I thought that they looked incredibly beautiful and let’s
be honest they are simply killing it. They aren’t the teens we first saw on the
X Factor these are women in their twenties (Leigh-Anne 24, Jesy 24, Jade 23 and
Perrie 22) and embracing that. These four girls have had their fair share of
negative comments about how they look and to see them owning their bodies and
sticking two fingers up at that is admirable. <o:p></o:p></div>

These outfits are totally justified for what the girls are
doing considering their performances under a vast amount of hot lights, the
amount of people in the venue and their rigorous dance routines. I mean we've
all seen their Brits performance, it was knee pads galore. They work their
butts off and obviously need to remain cool on stage.</div>

To me Little Mix are brilliant role models and all round
empowering and extremely talented women. It makes me sad and frustrated that
their talent is being overlooked by a piece of fabric on their skin. Is Justin
Beiber or any male criticised for crotch grabs or shirtless performances? No,
it’s almost encouraged. It’s further evidence to the double standards and issues
women face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s widely said by many celebrities that they never signed
up to be role models, however it is part of the package in which the girls have
recognised and taken in their stride. They stand for girl power and fight for
it so yes, their role model status is well earned and should never be based on
their clothing choices.</div>

I finally got round to getting some new arrivals in my make up collection and boy they are wonderful. After realising I'm quite the make up hoarder, I had a massive clear out of my stash and obviously had to replenish that. Everything is now in it's own box dependent on it's use... ADULTING.<br />

First up we have the <a href="http://www.freedommakeuplondon.com/" target="_blank">Freedom Pro Highlight</a> in the shade <a href="http://www.freedommakeuplondon.com/pro-highlight-diffused.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Diffused</a>. I have previously been using the Sleek contour and highlighting kit however I've had it for a while now and I'm scraping the edges to get any sort of decent amount out of the pan. That's where this beauty comes in. I've been a fan of Freedom for a while. It's good quality, has a great range of products, they are cruelty free and affordable. It's subtle but effective at the same time which is good for me as it's not too overpowering but does the job and leaves a lovely glowing sheen to the skin.</div>

I have gone through a lot of brow products in my time. Pens, pencils, powders, you name it, I've tried it. They've either run out and I haven't been able to find it again easily such as american brands bought on holiday, or run out stupidly quickly that it just isn't worth it to keep repurchasing. The colours of this duo are perfect for my brows, I tend to use the lighter shade predominately and the dark for any sparse areas.</div>

Let's first of all mention the packaging. It's BEAUTIFUL and rose gold so what is there not to love? In my opinion it's the perfect matte berry shade. It's matte but without being super matte, in fact they are designed to keep your lips smooth as a baby's butt (what is this saying honestly?) as stated on the website <span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>"<span style="color: #010101; line-height: 19.5px;">Exclusively enriched with Lipstick Tree extract which protects lips and is a natural anti-oxidant, and Orchid Extract which soothes and hydrates for a soft, buildable cashmere finish".</span></b></i></span><br />

I don't know why... maybe it's because I'm more of a high street brand girl on a budget so I always treat luxury products as gold. Weird? Probably.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am a girl who loves her red lipsticks and this is THE red lipstick of all red lipsticks. It's a satin finish and has amazing staying power which is perfect for long days or night out.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a creature of the internet and comfort. I’ve met my
best friends online, found the people that get me and become a part of
communities of people that get it.<b> </b>However, I am not one to go to events or places alone. This was
challenged when I attended the IRL Panel last week.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The IRL Panel is the brain child of <a href="https://twitter.com/girllostincity" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Emma Gannon</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/superlativelyLJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LauraJane Williams</a> off of the internet which took place at the Twitter UK
headquarters in the heart of London’s Piccadilly Circus. The event is all about
“women with a lot to say” and is an event which drops the usual status quo of
industry events, where follower count is everything and there’s a whole load of
standards thrown at you. The event is open to anyone, which was one of the main
reasons I was drawn to go. The theme of the discussion including panellists
<a href="https://twitter.com/FreddieHarrel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Freddie Harrel</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/heathery_tp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Heather Taylor Portmann </a>and <a href="https://twitter.com/bridgetminamore" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bridget Minamore,</a> was permission.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The event started by us being shown into Twitter itself and
having a mingle. This is when I started to have a little fear. What if no one
wants to speak to me? What if people think I’m boring AF? Am I being too much?
But all those worries were quickly throw out of the window as everyone I spoke
to was welcoming and a heap of women at the event had also come on their own
which seemed to set the whole room at ease. As well as the free booze.</div>

The panel raised some really interesting points and valuable
lessons which in a typically cliché, movie type moment, were things I really
needed to hear after a life dip.</div>

This point really stuck with me.
Growing up I fell into a group of friends who I felt I had to impress in order
to be cool or be accepted therefore share the same view point. I feel now that
having your own opinion and views on something is way more important and also
provides scope for discussion and debate.</div>

On the topic of friends, be a
good friend to yourself. Many of us are unbelievably harsh on ourselves for no
real reason especially when dealing with negativity. As Emma so rightly shared
“<span style="background: white;"><b><i>When you get negative comments, you’re allowed

There have been countless times
where I’ve found situations and opportunities which I know I’d be perfect for
and have been too scared or just waved them off with an “oh I’m under

opposite truthfully. Give yourself a bloody chance.</div>

IRL is one of my favourite events I’ve attended in a long
time and I feel it’s one to be on everyone’s must go to lists. I met some
really lovely women and had such interesting conversations and in a weird way,
felt really at home in a room of complete strangers. <span style="background: white; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We also managed to get half a million eyeballs to know about the event

I've been a bit apprehensive about turning 21. On one hand, it's exciting in the sense I made it another year and I can drink in America which is a plus. On the other, I'm actually an adult. Being 20 still feels a bit like you're a teenager just winging it but for some reason that extra digit now makes it feel more like OH GOD ADULTHOOD.<br />
<br />
I guess I've been weird about it because I am in no way where I thought I'd be at 21. I thought I'd be in a good job, not living at home and not be a stressy mess and the reality is I am 21, unemployed, still living in my wonderful family home and the biggest stressy mess. The past few months have been weird. I went from being unemployed to finding a pretty cool job and feeling a bit more back on my feet to losing said job and feeling like a complete failure. To be honest, I am so scared even if I don't really need to be because I know I have the support of friends and family but it's so hard not to dwell and feel a bit shit really.<br />
<br />
With that all in mind, I headed off to Sandy Balls (LOLOLOLOLOL) in the New Forest with my best friends in tow for the big 2-1 weekend. I love the New Forest, I find it really relaxing and you can't say anything negative about the scenery. After arriving and settling in, we headed off to sainsburys... here we learnt never to shop when hungry after a £200 receipt. (It was worth it, we then fittingly named the cabin, The Cabin of Carbs)<br />

Saturday we went for a little wander around the site on the hunt for alpacas...no alpacas were found and I was heartbroken. However the pain didn't last for long as we decided to drive down to the beach (Barton On Sea) for ice cream. In February, how typically British. Then we returned to our little home, 278, and got all dolled up and had a party to bring in my birthday as it turned 12. Complete with twister and about 1000 party poppers. Sunday was the laziest day and it was perfect, we put all our mattresses in the living room and watched all the films.<br />

I am so grateful to have the friends I do. This weekend really brought me out of my miserable mood and made me feel really happy, loved and all I can do is say a massive thank you to the babes that spent the weekend with me, I love you so so so much. Good friends are one of the most important things you have and I appreciate mine dearly. (I know, soppy and cringe.. I'M SENTIMENTAL.)<br />

A few weeks ago on a Friday night, in a very cold and rainy East London, I found myself in an all too familiar place. The Maine and Mayday parade are bands I have spent many a night singing horrendously with my friends and having a dance or two to. This was mostly when I was around 16/17 and I haven't really seen them since then, not from lack of wanting to more so because being an adult happened.<br />
<br />
The Troxy is a cool but weird venue. It was originally a cinema in the 1930's, then became a bingo hall in the 80's and now is a venue for various things such a gigs, weddings and events. It has that old feel to it which is cool but I personally don't like it as music venue if you're not right down in the standing area like we were. The further back you go, you can't really see a lot because of the low ceiling for the upper tier. However with that being said, this show was moved from Shepherds Bush Empire as the roof is being restored.<br />
<br />
One of my fondest Mayday Parade based memories would have to be Slam Dunk festival in 2012 (could have been a later one I'm not too sure) having a slightly cider based, emotional friend circle dance. Things like this remind me it's good and healthy to feel 16 again and switch off a little and enjoy the moment, as cliché as it is.<br />

My lovely friend Jon offered to help me out with taking some outfit photos so a massive thanks to him and <a href="https://twitter.com/marisa_thorne?lang=en-gb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marisa</a>! I'm not 100% confident posing for the camera, which I don't get because I'm fine when I'm on my own doing it! I find it all a bit awkward but let's hope with time I get over it. </div>

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Row 1 : </u></b><br />
<br />
1) Playing with my new lens and using my favourite little lady as my model, obviously!<br />
2) Filming my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9osD4Iusyt0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">styling video</a> and surprising not only myself but everyone for wearing orange.<br />
3) Still filming but I liked my Monica Bing-esque hair.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Row 2:</u></b><br />
<br />
1) Discussing birthday cakes for my 21st with Lauren because caterpillar cake is a tradition.<br />
2) Shooting some outfits with Jon and Marisa.<br />
3) Finally seeing Jack since he got back from Sydney and realising how disastrous and great us living together eventually will be. None of us can cook, SHREDDIES FOR ALL.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Row 3:</u></b><br />
<br />
1) Seeing The Maine and Mayday Parade at Troxy with a lot of my favourite humans and feeling 16 again.<br />
2) Obvz a selfie before going to the pub to see friends in Shoreditch.<br />
<br />
I obviously couldn't end this without some shameless self promo.... if you wish to follow me my instagram is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trudyboulert/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">trudyboulert.</a><br />

This week everything in Rosewood seemed to get a little more dramatic, as each episode will I presume, and I have even more questions than I did last week with Ezra out of town and the suspected golf club, Arias dad and the creepy fake old man. The title of this episode could not be more fitting with "New Guys, New Lies."<br />
