My Battle With Anxiety (Mental Health Awareness 2018)

I've been planning this for months on how to get my message across so, so I came up with this idea for Mental Health Awareness week! I don't know what to gain from this (even my Facebook post on my Timeline) but I guess I just want to vent out some feelings that have affected me most of last year which is why I put the blog on hiatus and have been trying to get back into it slowly whilst also working on Photography editing at the same time as life just being busy.
So here I'm expressing lots of feelings I've had inside for a while but also stating how things are still okay in my life. *Picture taken, edited and comissioned superbly by Jamie Flack (Cat&Crown Artwork)* <3

MCM London Comic-Con, October 2017

Yeah I know it’s late but with my first MCM Birmingham coming up this weekend, I figured I’d best share what London’s MCM was like in October. I got to spend 3 days doing photoshoots with friends and new ones whilst staying up in a hotel alone (next time will be with my Con group). I've been all over the place most of last year since this was finished on 15th March 2018 (despite programming this post for a past date). But I aim to finally begin returning here to write up some delayed work and explain what I've been up to in 2017 and 2018.
Anyway without going on and on, here’s what I got up to at MCM London’s October Comic-Con 2017!

Ash & Ben's Summer London Meet-Up (August 2017)

The first weekend of August was one of the best Saturdays I've had all year and is one of this year's biggest highlights. Thanks to Ash and Ben for an incredible day out in Hyde Park with other Comic-Con fwends I know too and I felt so equal to everyone during the day of silly shenanigans.
Nothing but fwends, photography, nerds, gaming and wagamama goodness in the sunshine (with a slight chance of scattered showers) ha. This is my lift up from an anxious July and I got to hang out with amazing company outside of Con!

MCM London Comic-Con, May 2017 + 100,000 Total Views!

This time at Con, it's been much better than past visits! I've actually enjoyed myself, acted more confident whilst still polite when asking for photos with people and I've seen a load of my friends briefly across both days. I may not had been recognised as a Human version of Mewtwo as I'd hoped but going up as a Photographer too was definitely the right course of action to have had more fun and begin a future career and my upcoming Photography Facebook page! Here's what I got up to at May's MCM London Comic-Con 2017! And also to thank all my readers and friends for helping my blog reach a whopping and unbelievable 100,000 Total Views!!!!!!! <3

My Good, Bad and Awkward Views on Facebook

To commemorate National Autism Awareness for April, I've decided to share my thoughts on my actions and behaviour with one of the biggest social media's on the internet. I want to disclose my thoughts as to what I feel whenever I try to interact on Facebook because a lot of the time, these feelings make me ill and paranoid and affect my views on friends and life. Or I could just be over analysing everything ha.
I'm quite scared about this but I feel that it'll help others as well as myself understand how interacting on a screen is different to the real world and how there are mixed reactions to everything that we choose to do.

13 Reasons Why (Series Review)

When people leave us for reasons that we can't understand, it changes and affects us forever. Some consider it "attention seeking", others feel surprised and some people become lost like a piece of their life has died. This Netflix series teaches us about Mental Health and how we can't see how people are affected by words and life itself. It shows a poignant message about loneliness and teenage suicide. And by the end of it, you'll feel more connected and sympathetic to the characters than ever. You might even learn to be more kind to people, you could save a life.
As you learn the story of why Hannah Baker took her own life and how the 7 Tapes she left behind will help her friend Clay Jensen discover the reasons why!

New Year - New Me (2017)

2017 is going to be the year where I'll begin focusing on myself and to take my mind off of the wrong things. To get back into the long delayed future that is IT (through all the anxiety and procrastination this past year and a half). I'll be expressing some dark feelings that I've had all year despite all the accomplishments that I've achieved this year because as great as they are and I am, I do have these feelings consistently.
But first, let's not forget to mention my New Years fun at Matt's! Happy New 2017, everybody!!!

MCM London Comic-Con, October 2016

Celebrated another great Saturday at MCM by cosplaying as Roxas again and managing to meet up with 8/12 friends during the day. I also managed to discover an important fact to remember to help myself remain calm and enthusiastic instead of stressed and worried (a few days before). But more on that later on. Anyway, here's what shenanigans me and my friends got up to at October 2016's Comic-Con.

Your Lie In April (Anime Review)

After his mother's passing, a Piano prodigy is losing the will to play. But after meeting a hyperactive, free-spirited and positive violinist one day, does his life turn around. Will he slowly reawaken that gift? Will he get dragged back onto the stage? Just how can she turn his monotone world back into colour?
Get ready for a cute romance anime with a touching classical soundtrack, this is Your Lie In April! (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso)

School Days - The Forest School

The fact that I can see how much I have changed in 6 years is really something... (the picture)
With the new School year approaching for many, I figured it was time to share some history...
How many of you had an easy school life? Where you were popular and socially equal to others with exceptional grades and weren't bullied? Well, you obviously weren't me! You see my school life was the toughest 5 years of my life and have shaped me into the being I am (maybe not entirely). This is my similar play on "Diary Of A Wimpy Kid" but through the eyes of a boy with Aspergers and Crohns in an all boys school. Here's my life at The Forest School.

Clannad After Story (Anime Review)

With Nagisa's dream play completed, Tomoya finally admits his feelings for her and they become a couple. However their school life is coming to an end and Tomoya has yet to help out more of his friends. But dark clouds are gathering and he will be tested on unbelievable life changing events, yet to come.
This Anime is remarkably emotional and like a glimpse into the future. This is Clannad Afterstory.

Clannad (Anime Review)

This Anime stands out to many that I've come across so far, because this and it's even better sequel opened my eyes and life and even touched my heart. I encourage you to read or even watch the story of how a teenage outcast learns to make friends and help them. This slice of life, drama, romance Anime is very dear to me and I want to explain why, this is the story of Clannad.

The Phenomenon Behind Pokemon Go

So... How many of you have been playing Pokemon Go? This hit mobile app has taken the world by storm by bringing fans old and new together to catch em all! And here's the low down on the phenomenon!

Learning From A Very Short Relationship

I never thought that this year I would experience falling in love even for a short amount of time. I'm not here to talk about "her" who doesn't really want to be mentioned on here, rather I want to express my own feelings of happiness, lessons learned and how it's all made me a better person.

MCM London Comic-Con, May 2016

Can't believe I nailed it last weekend where I queued up to meet Elizabeth Henstridge (Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D) whilst also managing to find 7-8 of my Con friends within a single day! Because I'm saving up for Africa (September) and I have my jabs coming up on 22nd June, I had to only go for the Saturday to MCM London Comic-Con, but I wasn't alone.

My partners in crime were Kathy, Kurt and his friend Will and we all had a blast. But the best thing was that I handled the day carefully and got some unfinished business sorted and did my best to meet up with almost everyone for a short period of time, each.

Here's what happened in my cram-packed end of May Saturday at the best Nerdy event in the Capital.

Issues LIVE, May 2016 (My 6th Concert)

Deep down we all have our own set of Issues, but my Issues range from personal matters that I must discuss/ share with others... the other side is listening to these incredibly talented guys!
I've been wanting to see these guys ever since purchasing their first album and EP back in June 2014, thanks to Lewis due to introducing me to the Metalcore genre after we went to Download Festival 2014.
It was pretty amazing (the recordings were affected like when I saw Owl City), still I'm glad that me and Lewis were with all the Hooligans singing and shouting our hearts out to a band that I've been relating to for a long time. I even had to create a YouTube channel so I could upload the recordings, since BLOGGER has a "100MB limit" and it wouldn't work. Who knows what else I'll do or upload on there. But I'd appreciate a Like or Subscribe as I add more concert recordings and someday make videos with music or animations (once I get good again)!
 So last Thursday, I had the pleasure of seeing Issues at the KOKO.

*100th Post* School Memories - Chesworth Primary School

Me in Year 4 (9 years old)

At 6 years old, I was a really different kid to everyone else. I was "The lights are on but no one is home" kind of kid. I struggled to pay attention in lessons and wasn't really close to many people. Nevertheless I had a good time at my Primary School with kind teachers and children who I am still in contact with today (bless them for being patient with me).
So to celebrate my 100th post, I'm going to explain what was going through my head at Chesworth Primary School.

Preschool Memories - St. Leonard's School

Seeing as Autism Awareness week was 2nd - 8th April, I figured I'd get round to sharing a story with you all on how different I truly was as a child during my preschool years when my Aspergers was discovered. I know it's late in the month but some things have been happening which I'll get round to later on. Plus I've been spacing out on doing anything on here to take some stress off, but I have loads to share and write up about during the end of this month and during May (depending on how things go).
Here I recap small memory fragments from when I was about 6 years old, at St. Leonard's Preschool.

A Month Of Being Busy And Change

I bet you've all been wondering "Where has he gone?" or "Is he planning something big?"
Actually, I've been experiencing a lot of change and hard work which has made my last month exhausting and a bit tough. So besides gym as usual, I've had numerous things happen and unfold which I'd thought I'd share on here and state some ultimatum's that I have in mind for the better and to no longer suppress myself or procrastinate anymore.

Happy New 2016, Everyone!

Happy New Year everybody! Woo! How was your parties? I had a much better New Years compared to being ill last year. As for this year, I spent it all the way up in Letchworth Garden City with my new friends from this year's Comic-Con! More on that in a sec, but first I'll mention a bit on my Christmas Eve, Day and Boxing Day celebrations before getting to New Years!
So as you can guess, I'm talking about my crazy New Year's Eve and my Resolutions. Have any of you lot made Resolutions?
