Welcome To My Blog

   




Hello everyone,

 Welcome to my blog. My name is Alisha and I'm a 14-year-old girl who... tends to go unnoticed. I'm the type of person who keeps her head down, has a few friends but nothing crazy and I'm usually overlooked. I'm the invisible girl- and I've always enjoyed it. The other day, though, I realised that not everyone feels this way. Sometimes, when we're overlooked, it hurts us. And that's okay too.

 That is one of the reasons why I made this blog. To make people feel like they're less alone and that other people do go through similar circumstances. Another reason is that I genuinely enjoy writing- a lot. There are more reasons, but these are the main two.

 I'll be honest: I have no idea where this blog is going to go. I don't really have a specific "niche" yet- I'm just going with the flow. For now, it's basically going to be a virtual diary. I'll write about my thoughts and feelings, successes and failures, hopes and dreams, my daily life and maybe even advice based on my past experiences. I'm really excited to see which direction it takes :).


Speak soon, 

 Alisha xx

20 Things I Want To Do While I'm Young

Hi everyone!  Welcome back to my blog. Last week, I wrote about the goals I want to achieve when I'm fifteen (if you haven't seen the post then go check it out!) and I really enjoyed thinking about those short-term goals. So, I decided to write up a post on some longer-term goals. I wouldn't say that these are long-term goals but they should see me through the rest of my teens and twenties so they're more like medium-term goals. In no particular order, here are 20 things I want to do when I'm young. Enjoy!  1. Become fluent in another language I love learning new languages and about new cultures so I really want to be bilingual or even trilingual. I don't know my native language (Urdu) but I want to learn it or at least be able to understand it. The only thing is, I don't really know what resources to use. I also want to expand on my (very limited!) Spanish and French.  2. Publish or edit a book I've wanted to write a book for as long as I can remember b

Advice Post #2: Feeling Overwhelmed By The News

Image
Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. A few weeks ago, I published an advice post on how to deal with stress and that went down really well, so thank you all for that! I've decided to do another one on a topic quite similar to the stress one and something that may be especially relevant to lots of people this year. I'm going to be talking about what to do when you feel overwhelmed by the news and how to manage your feelings. I am not a professional in any way but I hope that some of the things I say might be of use to you.  I feel like, this year, there are 2 main types of stress-provoking news topics. One of which is COVID-19 and anything to do with a new pandemic or a second wave and the other is to do with the atrocities that are happening to people all over the world. Both of these topics are very different issues and they usually evoke different emotions so I'm going to be splitting this post up into three different parts: one for each type and some general tips at t

Advice Post #1: Dealing with Stress

Image
Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. As you read from the title, I am going to try to give you all some advice on how to handle stress. Please bear in mind that the techniques I talk about are all things that help me personally and I am not a professional in any way ! Please also remember that I am not clinically diagnosed with a mental illness as my symptoms are very mild compared to other people's and they don't call for professional help. I stress out very frequently but I can keep it under control by myself, and I'm going to be talking about how. If you feel that your symptoms are severe, there is no shame in seeing a professional about it as your mental health is just as important as your physical health.  Stress is something that affects all of us, no matter the person or circumstance. Like so many other people, I tend to stress out a lot and for things that aren't worth stressing over. I'm an overthinker with a very vivid imagination. This means that, if I s
