Recently I booked a trip to Paris for my best friend and I as she just turned 18. Looking through photos from old trips has made me incredibly excited, and as I've never written a blogpost on Paris, I thought why not?

As someone who doesn't speak much French, the idea of travelling without my fluent mother terrifies me. However, I am beyond excited to go and get even more shots, hopefully better than last time!

"i don't understand."

"yeah okay, i'll be there soon."

"i need help."

"i want you to stop talking to me."

"i'm not a doormat."

"no." 

"no."

"no."

"yes."

Dear October, 
I'm sorry I'm writing so late, I haven't known what to ask of you. 
September was a hard one. Please be nicer. Maybe a new wardrobe would be nice? I'm joking, but new clothes is a necessity. I'm wearing the same four things on repeat and I'm starting to think the people at college think I'm homeless. A winter jacket. I definitely need that in my life. 
Materialistic things aside, I'm still not sure what I want from you October. More blogging motivation is a definite one, at least two posts a week. I want to take more photos this month, to just go out with a camera and see what happens.
I want to go out for a meal with my best friends to a cute restaurant I found in Manchester. A catch up with some of my closest friends is also in order, especially seeing as I've not seen some since July.
To really try and tackle the anxiety that is creeping up would also be nice. I'm finding it hard to live at the moment, I want to at least be able to leave the house voluntarily by the end of the month. I want to smile more, to really just hold it all together and build myself back up again. 
October, I know I'm asking a lot of you, but I have a good feeling about this month. We should be okay if we work together. 
Yours, 
Shannon
