oh no, the meet up was a no go...

If you read my last post or follow me on twitter you will know I was supposed to be attending a meet up...my first ever meet up & it was safe to say I was a mixture of emotions about it all. I had opted out at one point, but then changed my mind again. I'll share the little story with you shall I?
I learnt about the meet up from the lovely Jojo, a few months ahead of the event itself so I signed up & didn't really think much of it...up until the week or so before, that was when I started doubting if I could manage it. Cut a story short, I didn't make it. The meet up was today, I managed to drive all the way to the city...admittedly I didn't make it right into the centre. I did however end up, pulled up in a side street & burst into tears...oooh yesss, it really did get that bad. Most of the way there & back infact I felt like I was going to throw up (delightful & too much info? sorry). I just knew I couldn't cope & be able to attend the meet up, which absolutely sucked but there will be other meet ups & I did manage to drive to the city & back...40 minutes in the car each way, on my own. So I guess I lost some but I won some too?
The whole point of this post was to just prove that life isn't always easy, I do like to focus on the positives but admittedly sometimes the negatives do sneak in so why not blog about them a little too hey? Nobody is perfect, am I right?
So if you have had a tough day, a tough week, a tough month even a tough year always remember that there will be something to be proud of... Be proud to be you, the person you have become or the person you are becoming...be proud of yourself & be proud to be in your skin. Hold your head up high & smile!

Well there we have it, I've shared my first experience of a meet up journey to a meet up...not the greatest but I'm hoping to travel to the city again & hopefully meet the lovely Jojo, that is if she'll still meet me of course (I promise not to cry on you Jojo!) :D I just want to add in here a little but big thank you to all the lovely supportive girlies on twitter...I love all of you! *massive hugs* :)
Any hoo, that is all for this post...I feel like I've been slightly vacant but I do have a fair few blog posts lined up, it is just a case of getting round to writing them up inbetween everything else but they will be appearing soon so watch this space? :)
Have you ever had a rubbish experience when it comes to a planned day out? Let me know in the comments maybe? It's always good to reassure each other that we aren't alone in this & we will get through...we will get through it, one step at a time!

 As always thanks for reading,
Anna ♥

  1. Oh darling, I'm so sorry yet proud at the same time. The fact that you managed to try and go makes me so proud but I'm so sorry you didn't manage to attend. Just remember, this is one step closer to the next meet-up, you'll keep getting better & those meet-ups will be like second nature! :) xxx

  3. I had no idea you were finding it so difficult. You should have said and I would have come to get you, so you didn't have to do it on your own! Anyway, like you say, it was a shame, but there will be other meet ups. xxx

  4. Well done, you did amazingly well to get out of the house and all the way to the meet up, just one more hurdle to hop over next time. I'm sorry you didn't make this one but I absolutely love our attitude about it, not beating yourself up etc. you absolutely should. Be really proud of yourself
