I think I have an idea for my next blog post...

;D

VLOGGING?!?

Right, so for those of you who don't know what this is, vlogging is blogging but on a video format. And it is something I've considered...
HOWEVER, I do have some worries about this:

1. At first I may seem really awkward infront of a camera (I'm sure I'll get used to it though...)
2. I don't know whether I can deal with the "haters", especially because I don't want anyone talking about the things I feel most insecure about.
3. What would I vlog about? I mean I have some ideas in the pipeline but it's just having the motivation to actually get started.
4. I'm just a school girl who lives in the middle of no where. Who's going to watch that?
5. Technology. More specifically, my lack of it. Meaning that if do start vlogging, it'll take up a good percentage of time, which I kind of need for revision and stuff...

Having said all of this, I am very tempted to start vlogging. Or maybe I'll start off small and work my way up to being a vlogger. Who knows?

One thing I do know is it certainly won't be starting this week as I'm currently stuck in bed with the flu -_-

Oh well! There's always next week...

Britain In A Day

So on Saturday, I took part in Britain In A Day, which is going to be a film about people's lifes in Britain on Saturday 12th November.
I will be uploading the video sometime this week to Youtube. I really enjoyed the day and I love the concept of this film. I really hope my clips aren't too boring because I'd love to a part of this film history.

Also, you guys (if you are there) should check out my Youtube channel. I know there's not a lot on there now but I'm planning on changing that in due course. Plus, I'm also considering doing some vlogs...

So here's my quote for this post:

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

FIREWORKS!

Haha this posting every week lark is turning out to be harder than I thought.

So before last night, I wasn't feeling in the best of moods to be honest. That's why I hadn't posted anything in ages. I just weren't feeling positive about life.

But last night was bonfire night, so I decided I'm going to enjoy myself no matter what. And boy did I ever!

Sure, there were some tears shed as my friends and I realised that this maybe the last time we're together for bonfire night (before leaving for uni), and there were more tears as reminisced about the last year or so.

However, the amount tears could never match the amount of laughs, smiles, singing and random dancing. It was just an incredible night and has really put me in a better frame of mind.

I managed to film some of it as well, so hopefully I'll be able to make that into a nice short film or two.

All in all then, I'm feeling so much better about life now so I shall leave you all with this quote which I believe is so true right now:

"Happiness is a choice"

Feeling inspired!

Above is an image that pretty much sums up how I'm feeling right now.

So, today I was surfing the web, as you do, and came across a youtube channel called GBFilmProductions. I had a look at the videos on the channel and they gave me an idea for a video I could do.

Now this is really good for me because I have a youtube account and I've been trying to think of videos I could do. However, I couldn't think of any ideas, which is particularly bad seeing how I want to do a Film Production course at university next year...

So I was very happy that I stumbled across this channel because once I got one idea off this channel, I thought of many more. By the end of my brain storming, I ended up with 5 or 6 video ideas in my notpad!

Now I'm not going to blog what my ideas are incase I don't end doing them/can't do them. But, if all things go well, I should hopefully have a new video up by the end of next month.

So yeah, let me end with this little quote for you...

"If life is worth living for, then it's worth recording!"

MUSIC!

So seeing how I haven't posted since last Monday (I'm really good at this), I thought I'd best make a new blog post. Trouble was that I didn't know what to blog. You know when you say you have so many ideas but when it actually comes to doing something those ideas have magically vanished? Yep, that's what happened to me. So I was sat here with my laptop listening to my music trying to think of something to blog about, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks...

MUSIC!

Now, I have to admit I am obsessed with music because I like pretty much any genre and love discovering new ones too. But a good song can put in the right framework for at least a good couple of hours.

For example, I came off the bus feeling a bit blue so I decided to plug in my earphones and put my iPod on shuffle. The first song that comes on is Shine-Take That. For those who dont know of it I highly reccomend that you have a listen...

So now, I'm walking down my street, mouthing the words, smiling. I realise that the sun is gloriously shining down on me and I'm instantly happy, despite the odd looks I got off people...

My point is, music is a great way to make yourself feel better, no matter what genre. It doesn't even have to be a happy song! Sometimes you just need a good cry to make yourself feel better and there's a perfect song to do so.

So yeah, that's another positive blog post for you! I hope you liked it random visitors of this blog. Please leave feedback because I'm not quite sure what to do really...



1st blog post

So hello there :)

As you can tell from the blog title, my name is Sophie and this is my blog. I've been wanting to set up a personal blog for ages but I couldn't think of a concept. But my life, recently as well as in the past, has made me realise that life is just too short to be miserable. Hense why I'm calling this blog Sophie' Positive Blog. I know clever right?

So basically I'm just going to try to blog about the positive things in my life, no matter how small they may be. Now obviously some days may be harder to blog than others, especially as I'm a teenage girl in full time education. But I promise to try my best to at least do one post per week.

So let me leave (and begin in some ways) with this quote:

"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away."
