At the moment, there are youngsters having to make huge life changing decisions now that their GCSE/A Level results have been given to them. I wish them every success and I hope they get to go down the path that they want to travel down. When my GCSE results came out, I didn’t do overly
Loneliness Is something that only happens to older people, right? That really is a myth that stops a lot of people from admitting they are lonely and lost in life. I am not ashamed to admit that I have been experiencing feeling very lonely the last few months. I have spent a lot of time
