The Bucket List

I've always wanted to put one of these together. I think that life is a gift, and I need to make the most of what is given to me.

Hello!

 Hello!
Hello there! My name's Miranda, although I wish I had a really unique nickname like Zoella or something crazy. Anyway.... Welcome to my blog! 

I've always loved writing, but never thought to share my observations on topics from everyday life rather than a fictional story bits I've written. 

It's a bit strange writing a post for the first time. I have no idea who is going to see my work or how many views I will get in the future, although I'm hoping it's more than 12 reads from my grandmother... 

I'm hoping that eventually I can move into doing more videos and photography to put up, but  for right now I'm just writing. I've always wanted to start a blog but have been to scared to try it, because I was afraid of how the audience would react to my work. As Zoella said, I want to start saying YES to options and living in the moment!

My posts vary in tone and topic, some are serious about body image and bullying, others light and happy about Christmas lights and cheek piercings. 

I want to say thank you to any one who's reading this, this is the first step of my blogging journey and hopefully, it won't have to end soon!

Thanks for reading! <3
