Time Away

Recently I took some well needed time away with my Parents to revisit Cornwall for the week. I've visited Cornwall twice, maybe three times, before but I always find it such a lovely place to go if you want to stay within the UK. After all the exam stress around 2 months ago, a holiday would have been much more ideal at that point but I can honestly say I feel much more rejuvenated and ready to face my results this upcoming week. 

Due to my anxieties going away from home can be quite a struggle however this time I managed well, even though a lot of the time I spent thinking of coming home but nevertheless I did really enjoy my time away and was very much so grateful for it. We spent a lot of the week going on well needed walks and visiting the lovely towns nearby. The majority of times I go away I seem to come back to a lot of things that quite literally overwhelm me and lead me to spending the majority of my summer holidays slumping around the house because I can't find the energy to get out and get things sorted for myself. However even though I came home to a lot of things pulling me down like thoughts of University and AS results day, I seemed to have managed just fine and began to pick myself up again very quickly by getting back into those well needed walks and important catch-ups with friends. 

I also find myself before a holiday putting a long playlist together of songs that I most probably won't ever listen to again after my holiday but feel I'll have a big urge to listen to when away. And as always I think it's one of the best things I do to prepare myself for time away as it allows me to remember those little walks away by the sea or those long drives at ridiculous times in the morning by just re listening to the songs and reliving those small but ever so nice moments that are quite possibly my favourites. But maybe that should be a blog post of it's own...?

Anyway, here are some pictures of my trip!
