To Blog Or Not To Blog.

So I've been away from blogging for a while and to be honest, I feel a bit weird about it all. I've been debating with myself whether to start blogging again. This time away has given me chance to reflect on my blog and what it's all about and what direction I want to take it in. To be honest with you, there were points when I'd look at my blog and be disappointed with the standard fare I was churning out. I felt like I'd seen it all before on some other blog somewhere in the ether and that my posts were just a poor imitation that no one was really interested in. I found myself buying products just so I had stuff in to review for my blog, not because I particularly wanted them. But what most annoyed me was the lack of "me" in the blog- it was written by me but it didn't seem to have any of my personality in the posts, subject matter or content in general. This is starting to sound like some band who've released an experimental new album and are slagging off all their previous releases (ahem, Deaf Havana I'm looking at you) but I'm slagging myself off for churning out vacuous bull shit when I know I can do better. 

So, let's start as we mean to go on. Where have I been? Well, I've been working 50-70hour weeks because unfortunately my beloved lost his job back in October. I'll admit that I've let the need to earn money take over my life completely at times but I feel like I'm starting to get the work/life balance a bit more level now. It sounds like I'm whinging but I truly love my job. I'm a support worker which means working shifts and (the dreaded) nights- which I'm unfortunately due to commence next week wahhhh.

I feel like I need to start right back at the beginning. So... I'm Roisin, I'm 22years old and I'm a Psychology Graduate living laughing and loving with my wonderful boyfriend. I love cats, of which I have three that live with my parents as I couldn't bring them with me when I moved out. One of my biggest passions in life is music, specifically that of the heavy metal kind (let's not get into sub genre specifics today please). I'm somewhat artistic without the time needed to form a real hobby; I love painting, sewing and baking but haven't got the mental capacity to be obsessed with any of them. I love tattoos: on me, in paintings, on other people, anywhere! I currently have five tattoos, and counting including: angels on my feet, an owl on my arm, a cat on my leg and a heart with a banner and my baby cats name on it on my leg. I also have eleven piercings if anyone's interested including a chest microdermal which is my favourite! I love Harry Potter and cry every time Snape dies when I watch the final film. I also like detective fiction, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead- oh me oh my! This is me, or just part of me and there's so much more to give on this little blog of mine.
