Hey guys! Today i’m doing an advice post, about outgrowing things, and how to move on. Sorry for being a bit inactive, but my wifi was broken for a week š¦
In September 2014 I started a new school. I had been at my old school from the age of 2, right up to when I was 13. I thought it was going to be impossibly difficult to leave, but in reality it felt natural. I had been there for so long, I had got used to the routine after 11 years, and it was my only experience of school. I may go into more detail on another blog about this but essentially, towards the end I wasn’t very happy at that school. I didn’t have any real friends who were girls, and my only true friends were 3 boys. I know that sounds like i’m a whore, but they were just right for me. Anyway, in the last week, I had a fight with a girl who I thought had been my friend. I was extremely surprised to find that now I barely ever think about her. Because I moved on. I think it’s all down to something called closure. Things ended with her, I was upset at first, but then I realised that she was one of the reasons for my unhappiness.
Skip forward about 4 months. I moved to an all girls school. Immediately I met so many wonderful people. They were all so real. They didn’t try to be anyone else, and they didn’t hide their weirdness. On a school trip to Belgium, I was sitting outside a waffle parlour with 4 friends, laughing hysterically, and I found myself thinking “this is what life is supposed to feel like” those girls, amongst many, brightened my life. If I had never moved on, and I was still trying to impress people who didn’t like me, I would never be nearly as happy as I am today. Sometimes it takes events that we can’t control, to make us see things clearer. I was sad about moving schools, but after the first week at my new school, I felt like a new person. A happy, confident person that I think had always been inside me, it just took something big to bring her out.
Never underestimate your power to change and move on. Right now, I am the happiest I have ever been in my entire life. So, Vicky, Stella, Eleanor, Vicki, Grace, Rebecca, Poppy, Hanna, if you’re reading this, I am eternally grateful to you, for making me become the person I wanted to be, I love you all to the moon and back, and this post is dedicated to you.
Lots of Love, Rosie May xxx
It feels great to be around people that make you feel great. I’m happy for your happiness! š

I’m glad you have moved on. Back when I was in high school, I changed myself to try and fit in. In the end most of my true friends were guys too. They didn’t judge me or talk behind my back. I always think its better to have a few cloce friends than having many friends who aren’t true
