Update

I can’t exactly justify not posting for over two months, and I hope to start getting into better blogging habits now that I am set in a fairly consistent routine! I thought I would get back into the swing of things with a bit of an update. 

Well first things first, I’ve missed blogging. Having my own place to talk freely was something I hugely enjoyed and not something I had intended to give up! During the summer I have made incredible progress in terms of my M.E. and I am so immensely proud of myself for how far I have come. For the first time in around 3/4 years (I’ve actually begun to lost count) I am back at school pretty much full time! I know for most people returning to school would perhaps be a bit of an anticlimax; a punishment for my hard work instead of a reward, but for me it is the opposite! I love learning, and I am so excited to finally have a chance to reach my full potential academically, without my health holding me back! 

The improvements in my health have changed my life dramatically, and I could not be happier about it. I am able to actually go out and see my friends without my body punishing me for it, and for a long time I never thought that would happen for me. I feel like things are finally falling into place for me after years of very hard work and I only wish my amazing brother was here to see it. I can honestly say without any doubt that I could never have made this progress without Ben cheering me on, his support was uplifting and he believed in me when I no longer believed in myself. It breaks my heart knowing that he isn’t here to feel the joy of seeing me back on my feet, but I promise you Ben, I couldn’t have done this without you.

 

Me and the most supportive boy in my life.

Other than being back at school, I also went to Belfast! Me, my mum, dad and younger sister Olivia had an amazing weekend seeing the sights and spending some time together. There is something truly bizarre about being on a plane for less than an hour, but I’d take that over a long flight any day of the week! We did the bus tour and I now think I’ll do the Glasgow one too, definitely a worthwhile day out!

Now obviously if I told you everything I have done in over two months I would be here forever, so I thought I would focus on the things that mean the most to me; my progress and my family. 

Hopefully you’ll hear from me more regularly from now on, I definitely have missed posting! 

Introduction

Hello! Let’s get the boring essentials out of the way as quickly as possible.

1. My name is Megan
2. I am 16 years old
3. I am Scottish 
4. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing 

  

So I thought I would start a blog as I not only love reading the blogs of other people but I am very keen to have an online diary of sorts – marking every big occasion and allowing myself a space that is my own to reflect over my experiences. I mainly spend my time baking, reading, listening to music and going to gigs. I also have a love of doing my make up and have been known to spend hours on a full face just to lie in bed to watch Netflix all day. But who hasn’t done that eh? I live in Glasgow, which to be honestly is all I have known my entire life. Despite this, I have been lucky enough to have been abroad many times with my family and have visited quite an array of places. Travelling is something I hope to embark on by myself in the next few years, as I am determined to see all that this amazing world has to offer.

Since I have been young I have loved to read and write. Whether that was putting everything I had into “story writing” in primary school or staying up all night to get my next hit of lemony snicket. With guidance from my older brother I have read countless books at his recommendation which is something I plan to continue throughout my life. 

I am passionate about numbers and plan to pursue a career as an accountant. Boring, I know. But hopefully I’ll be able to keep you all interested with my outgoing personality and by keeping you updated with anything happening in my life that I feel is actually worthy of sharing.
