It's common knowledge that, as we grow older and move on to different careers or cities, we lose track of people we knew when we were younger.
It's neither a good or a bad thing; it's just something that happens as our opinions and personalities develop.
I met up with a person I wasn't that close with in either Primary or High School but someone who has been there for a lot of my key moments in life and who I share experiences with (same class in Primary School, same circle of friends in Primary/High School).
Since we graduated, our lives have zig-zagged in and out of each others and we meet up from time to time - something we didn't even do much in High School.
One of the biggest things I've noticed since then is that we've both matured an awful lot.
From our fashion to our goals and everything in between. there's not much that hasn't changed or developed in the three years since graduation.
One of my favourite things that's improved is how evenly we can carry a conversation.
I have always struggled with the massive insecurity that I'm not smart.
My best friend got a flush of A's in High School and she's at one of the best universities in the United Kingdom. While she's never judged me for not getting good grades in school or getting into a top university, I have always felt inadequate and like I need to compensate for something in our relationship.
Since high school, my confidence has grown in a lot of ways but not in terms of my intelligence insecurities.
Which is annoying as Hell.
The friend I met with the other day has always been one of those incredibly smart people.
Like my best friend, she got great grades and she has a lot of strong beliefs she stands by which, despite not agreeing with all of them, I really admire.
Our conversations were actually extremely well-balanced.
There were a few topics we brushed over that we knew the other didn't agree with but, instead of getting into a childish squabble, we glossed over it with ease and respected each other's opinions.
She's grown into such an interesting young woman but, if you told me ten years ago that she'd be one of the people I'd still thoroughly enjoy meeting up with after school had finished, I probably would've rolled my eyes and gave you a sarcastic comment.
I'm glad that she surprised me.
She's different to me in so many ways but it helps me grow as a person as I learn to accept her opinions and actually listen.
Instead of High School me who decided everything she believed was right and didn't want to listen to another view if it contradicted her own.
She's going back to university later this year and I can't wait to visit her.
She even gave me advice on my own life and how I could get back into school and studying.
She's a fascinating person who has turned into this brave, wonderful feminist.
Our conversations were fluent and easygoing and we talked about everything.
It was a really fun few hours and I'm looking forward to getting to do it again soon.
I don't know if we'll stay friends or, if like my friend from nursery, we'll grow apart in years to come but I have faith in this friendship.
Taylor Swift says she likes to surround herself with independent women who inspire her to be better (I'm paraphrasing but she said something similar) and I agree.
If you stick with friends who never change and don't help you progress in life, you end up stuck.
I'm glad I'm not the same person I was ten years ago because I could have missed out on a really great person.
So, for however long we end up being friends, I'm incredibly grateful for her different opinions and 'strong feminist' attitude.
The people you knew when you were younger are so significant in our lives and I feel like we lose track of that sometimes because life gets in the way and you forget.
Whatever happens I hope we never forget the person we once were.
They might have been gone for a long time but the people you knew growing up and the person you used to be shaped you into who you are today.

Cats Vs. Dogs • Debatable
Having had both a cat and dogs, I'm so far on the dog side.
Cats can be cute (there's a cat I see while on my way home from nights out sometimes that nuzzles against my legs and is really sweet) but they also know their place in the home. That place is as the VIP.
I have never felt more loved and appreciated in my house than when I had dogs. My old dog Benji would run to greet me at the door and give me kisses and cuddles - one time, I was ill and laying around on the couch and he got biscuits. He nudged one towards me with his nose because he thought it might help and he didn't leave my side until I got better.
My cat Oscar (who I got after Benji) doesn't even acknowledge my existence when I get home. He could not care less.
Dogs are affectionate, kind, loving and will always be your biggest fan.
Cats like to remind you of your place in the household by letting you pet them when they SAY you can pet them.
God forbid you have a bad day and need a cuddle.
It's funny to see the difference between Team Cat and Team Dog though.
I think it's really easy to tell who's a Dog Person or a Cat Person at times.
I mean, I'm a passionate dog person who's okay with cats. One of my best friends (a cosplaying, super-talented singer I met at college) is a cat person.
I'm extremely outgoing and will talk to, literally, anyone. She laughs at me for it. But cats and dogs, ultimately, compliment each other extremely well. Just like her and I.
So, whether you're a cat or a dog person, embrace it and be your awesome self. Uniqueness is important in everything. Have fun with it.

Frenemies
This morning on the British version of 'The Talk', 'Loose Women', one of their topics was on whether or not friendship breakups are equal to breakups with a partner.
I haven't experienced a breakup upsetting enough to equate the loss of a friendship but I definitely think a friendship breakup is on the same level as some relationships.
As Nadia Sawalha said on 'Loose Women' today, we fall in love with friends in certain ways.
We get to know these people and connect over similar interests and we end up seeing them as much as we're able to.
You bond with your friend, telling secrets, getting life/love advice from them, consoling and being consoled by them...
Friendships are incredibly important relationships in our lives as we learn from these people and grow with them.
The friendships you have in life end up defining you.
But you shouldn't keep friends in your life out of some sense of duty.
I have one friend from primary school that I'm still in touch with. 16 years later and we're still as close as ever. She's lived twenty minutes away from me my whole life and, although we've gone down different paths, she still makes me feel just as important and included as she did when we saw each other every day in school.
We've had hiccups though.
We went to different high schools for a few weeks and I worried we'd stop being friends altogether.
The phone calls grew less and less frequent and we both made new friends.
We worked through it though.
She came to my high school in the end and, even though I had a new best friend (an amazing, fun, bubbly, kind and driven girl I automatically idolized), we stayed close.
She's the only person I've been on holiday with and we have so many memories together that life without her just isn't conceivable.
My high school best friend is a regret.
Not because I regret our friendship but I ended up being really naive and stupid and we said things out of anger which caused the ending of one of the most important friendships of my life.
Our other friend, who I also lost, was someone I ended up talking things through with after a few months and we were able to work it out and she's one of my favourite people in the world. She's funny, sarcastic, talented and absolutely incredible.
I'm glad we saved our friendship but I hate how I lost them both at that time.
My best friend in high school is someone I still admire and respect. I see her, from time to time, and we catch up like old friends. I'm so incredibly grateful for that. I didn't lose her completely, even after my mistake.
But it'll never be like it used to be and I have to accept that.
Losing two friends at once, although it was through my own idiocy, was awful.
I got really low, didn't want to leave the house or talk to anyone and gained weight (I went up two dress sizes). It was awful.
Definitely as painful as a breakup.
Since then, the main friendship I've lost is the girl from nursery.
With that, the break wasn't sudden and it wasn't my fault so I don't carry any guilt from that as I know I tried everything I could to save it.
It still hurt though, despite her phasing me out over time.
I used to love how different we were and how close we were. I could tell her anything and our families had known each other for years. We experienced so much together, all for her to decide I wasn't worth her friendship 17 years later.
But losing a friend you've had for almost 20 years isn't, necessarily, a bad thing.
I'm talking about it broadly and not just my experience.
You grow as you get older; emotionally and spiritually.
You're not always going to have the same friends you've had since you were five years old because things change.
People change, move, gain new experiences and new friends...
Circumstance is a funny thing.
Once you leave school or a job or a city, you find out the people who you were only friends with because you saw them every day.
The people you meet along the road are going to shape you and your experiences in life will mean you might not have room for people you no longer share anything in common with and that's okay.
But it's important not to keep toxic people in your life ('frenemies') as they'll only hold you back from your dreams and goals.
That's all from me!

Faithfully
This is a difficult post to start.
Lea Michele recently got two new tattoos.
Now, this isn't exactly 'newsworthy' but her reasons behind them touched my heart.
She posted a photo 19 hours ago of a coffee mug on her right ring finger with a beautiful paragraph underneath (next to if you look at it online) about her grandmother who, sadly, passed away earlier this week.
What a beautiful, sentimental way to pay tribute to her grandmother.
For me, if I got a tattoo to remember my gran, she'd probably roll over in her grave... She is not a fan of tattoos. But I love the coffee cup. It represents a beautiful memory Lea has of her late grandma and it's something she can look at every day and smile in remembrance of the wonderful woman who, clearly, meant so much to her.
Along with a tattoo for her grandma, she also remembered another important person in her life.
Of course, the media jumped on Lea who was his girlfriend of two years at the time.
The love they had for each other was evident from the beginning and it never faded. Cory had even publicly admitted they were a couple on The Ellen Show in December 2012, the year before he died.
Throughout their short time together, Lea and Cory flirted on Twitter and shared snippets of their enviable life together in coy Tweets and Instagram photos as well as beaming whenever asked about the other in interviews.
The love they felt for each other is that kind of soulmate love that you experience once in your life if you're lucky and I remember looking at them and knowing that I would get to see them get married, have kids...
They were soulmates. They loved each other so much and it couldn't have been more evident if you'd painted signs on their heads saying they were together.
When he died, Lea was the main person on so many fans' minds.
How do you cope when the person you've planned forever with is so cruelly and unjustly taken from you?
Lea was seen flying to Vancouver (where Cory passed away) shortly after July 13th and she later revealed Kate Hudson had let her stay at her house while she tried to cope with the loss of her 'fallen hero'.
She posted a beautiful Tweet on the 29th July 2013, sixteen days after he'd left us, thanking everyone for helping her through this time and saying that Cory would 'forever be in her heart'.
I remember talking to friends at that time and we just cried our eyes out over that Tweet.
Lea was brave in the worst possible time. She dealt with losing her boyfriend publicly and under a spotlight and she handled it with such grace and dignity.
Her first public appearance after his death was at the Teen Choice Awards in August of that year and she said the most beautiful thing to her fans after their show Glee's win:
Lea is such a strong person and, even though I don't love all of her work and I haven't been a consistent fan since the beginning, she will always hold a place in my heart.
When Glee resumed, after Season 5 filming was postponed to let the show's writers figure out how best to move forward, Lea was included in the writing of the fifth episode of that season 'The Quarterback'. That episode saw the characters saying 'Goodbye' to Finn Hudson, Cory's character on the show, and it was one of the most beautifully written episodes of any television show I've ever seen. Instead of talking about how Finn died, they focused on coming together and showing the characters grieving and remembering him before leaving you with an important life lesson about death; don't remember people for how they died, remember them for how they lived.
Rachel's heartbreaking performance of 'Make You Feel My Love' by Adele was chosen by Lea and was said to be personal to her and Cory. For Rachel, it was the first song they sang in the car together.
I remember, the night after I watched that episode, I curled up in a red T-Shirt, jeans and converse (the official 'Don't Stop Believing' outfit) and cried uncontrollably.
The thing is, I've never lost anyone that close to me (thankfully) and celebrities get into people's minds, they become part of our weekly routine as we watch their shows.
Finn was my first teenage TV crush and Cory was such an incredible guy. You wanted to get to know him because he had such a beautiful heart within him. Yes, he struggled but who doesn't have demons? I don't know if I'd react the same way now, three years on, as I did back then but his death will always be a significant moment in my life. It will always be my first experience with grief and I'll never fully understand why.
Even as I researched to make sure what I was remembering was right for some of these facts, I teared up.
People get the same way about Elvis and Diana even now.
But the dead are never forgotten. Especially not celebrities. I mean, there are videos of Elvis and Diana on YouTube and Cory is immortalised on film and on Glee. His talent lives on. It's just that he's not physically here anymore and that is really fricking sad.
Lea went on to write 'If You Say So' which is a song on her first album written about the immediate days in her world after Cory died. It's heartbreaking and I definitely cried like a baby listening to it for the first time. I still do. It showed loss in such a raw way and it was named after the last words he ever said to her.
She talked about how she'd gotten a special tattoo for Cory a few months after his death but she got a new one earlier today that represents the character he played on Glee.
On the show, Rachel got the name 'Finn' tattooed on her body after Finn died but Lea's salute to Finn Hudson was more subtle.
She got a tattoo of the number on Finn's football jersey, which has extra meaning as she posted a photo of her carrying out Finn's football memorial on her last day on set.
I don't really have anything left to say.
I'm sending Lea love and positive thoughts as she enjoys her spa day.
What a beautiful thing from a beautiful person.
Cory will never be forgotten, least of all by Lea, and I'm so glad she's keeping his memory alive in her own, loving way.

She shared some sweet anecdotes about how her gran wasn't your 'typical' grandma and 'said something inappropriate to every boyfriend' Lea ever had.
Lea has always talked about her love for her family and I hope she's healing as well as she can be right now.What a beautiful, sentimental way to pay tribute to her grandmother.
For me, if I got a tattoo to remember my gran, she'd probably roll over in her grave... She is not a fan of tattoos. But I love the coffee cup. It represents a beautiful memory Lea has of her late grandma and it's something she can look at every day and smile in remembrance of the wonderful woman who, clearly, meant so much to her.
What made me tear up though was her second tattoo.
Lea isn't new to getting tattoos - she has many others - but these two were extra personal.Along with a tattoo for her grandma, she also remembered another important person in her life.
Cory Monteith passed away on July 13th 2013.
His death left millions of fans, his family, friends and fellow celebrities heartbroken.The love they had for each other was evident from the beginning and it never faded. Cory had even publicly admitted they were a couple on The Ellen Show in December 2012, the year before he died.

"Before Finn, I used to sing alone..."The entire episode was beautifully done, despite many scenes having to be filmed in one take many times due to the actors' breaking down so much.

Under The Sea... Of Opinions
A few days ago, the cast of 'The Little Mermaid' live was announced.
I'm not talking a televised live performance of the show. There wouldn't be much point in that seeing as there will be a live-action version of the 1989 Disney classic coming out within the next few years.
No. This version compiles classics from the movie such as the iconic 'Part of Your World' and Broadway additions like 'Her Voice' which Prince Eric sings, despite his lack of singing in the movie.
Brilliant performers are coming together to bring life to these iconic characters while the movie plays behind them. It will be performed at the Hollywood Bowl and a 71-piece orchestra will accompany the all-star cast on Friday 3rd June and Saturday 4th June this year.
I'm very excited. I'm excited whenever Darren does a new show but this one holds a soft spot for him as he's been performing covers of 'Part of Your World' for years, both in his shows onstage and his unforgettable YouTube video.

As you can see, the cast is pretty impressive. Sara Bareilles as Ariel ('Love Song', 'Brave', every single song on every one of her albums that makes you laugh/cry/happy/relate... Sorry. I'm a big fan), Darren Criss as Prince Eric ('Glee', Broadway, 'Teenage Dream', 'Not Alone', Starkid, Blaine Anderson, Klaine... Okay. Also a huge Darren Criss fan because he's bloody brilliant), Rebel Wilson as Ursula (Love her from the 'Pitch Perfect' movies, 'Bridesmaids' and 'Struck By Lightning' - a brilliant movie written by Darren Criss' on-screen husband on 'Glee' Chris Colfer which mixes dark comedy and life lessons) and several other incredible performers who I, regrettably, know less or nothing about.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow and I'm beyond heartbroken that, yet again, the fact I was born and raised in a regular sized city in small Scotland is keeping me from the things I love (American actors, actresses, TV shows like 'Ellen' and Jimmy Fallon's show to name a few).

I'm very excited. I'm excited whenever Darren does a new show but this one holds a soft spot for him as he's been performing covers of 'Part of Your World' for years, both in his shows onstage and his unforgettable YouTube video.
Just a note - I'm linking both his and Sara's covers of the song in their characters' names above as well as a video of John Stamos in 'Glee' just because his entire character arc on 'Glee' was fantastic.
Unfortunately, I went on Facebook and saw a Buzzfeed article about the cast being great and Darren Criss being a good choice for Prince Eric and the comments underneath irritated me.
Which is why I'm writing right now.
The comments were either about Sara being too old to play Ariel or Darren Criss not being everyone's ideal perceived Prince Eric.
My main issues with these arguments against two of my favourite artists are as stated below:
- It's not a Broadway show or a movie so Sara's age isn't a factor. She's singing Ariel's songs and giving a performance but she's not going to play her in the movie - it's just a live performance - so stop getting your knickers in a twist as my gran would say
- Darren is an incredible performer. He looks enough like Prince Eric that it's confusing as to why this is even an issue. Add some mousse to his hair, style him right and you have Prince Eric. Also, why are you focusing on their looks alone? Rebel Wilson isn't a giant sea witch. John Stamos isn't a French Lobster.
If you're going to get silly with one actor, don't forget that the others aren't living up to your high Disney expectations either.
You see what I'm saying?
I got so frustrated that I didn't even comment. Darren and Sara will prove themselves through their talent alone and I have no doubts about them getting positive reviews after the shows.

Why do they have to be carbon copies of the movie characters anyway? It's insane!
They got here with their talent alone and that's a brilliant achievement!
They got here with their talent alone and that's a brilliant achievement!
And I just read that they had to add a second show to match popular demand for tickets.
If that doesn't get you on board, I don't understand you.
Be happy, stop picking at people and celebrate the music!
People are always so quick to jump to negatives.
Let them prove themselves! Give them a chance before you slate them for not being the exact physical match for the Disney characters.
I can't wait to see how this turns out and I hope to God someone records it or puts it on YouTube because they are going to blow every single critic out of the water.
That's all! Rant over!
God bless and Goodnight!
Jessica
