Post for This (Particular) Grey Day

Hello all, here's a post to brighten your grey day! (Although, I do actually quite like these kinds of days- if I'm inside, of course)

Today's post is about a website/book/quiz that I think is actually pretty cool. It's called '5 Love Languages' and you can find a link here, although I suggest reading through this post before finding out your Love Language.

Basically, there are these five types of ways that people show love, and would like to receive it. The five types are:

  1. Words of Affirmation
  2. Acts of Service
  3. Receiving Gifts
  4. Quality Time
  5. Physical Touch
The point of finding out which one/s you are is so that other people can be more mindful of what yours is, and hopefully build better relationships. For example, someone whos Love Language is Physical Touch will hug you, or pat you on the back, but if your Love Language is Words of Affirmation, this isn't actually what you want people to do in order to show their love.

Hopefully, that makes some sort of sense (?). You can look into it a bit more when you do the quiz, if it doesn't.

I personally have two different Love Languages, Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation, although my sisters both have Quality Time. 

What's yours? (Link for the quiz: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/) Have a go, and see what difference it can make in your life (especially to us teenagers, who struggle to show love and appreciation)

As John Wooden once said, "The most important thing in the world is family and love".

Carers Week

Hi everyone! It feels like it's been ages since I last posted anything (or really wrote anything for that matter) but hey, exams! Anyway, this week (11th-17th June) is Carers Week, so I thought that I'd do some raising of awareness for Young Carers. First of all, shout out to my friend for standing up in assembly to talk about this, and for all those who ran the cake stall at school (they raised £69!). She's so amazing, and most of the following information comes from her. There are three main types of care that someone can provide-  physical (e.g helping to get dressed), practical (e.g shopping) and emotional (e.g comforting them if they’re upset or anxious etc). My friend thinks that emotional is probably the hardest to deal with, and it can worry carers a lot, especially when they’re at work or school (is that person ok, has anything happened to them etc), and I have to say that I agree. For young carers, the most common situations are looking after a paren...

I Find Out A Load About The Railway Industry

Image
Heya friends! I've been up to quite a lot recently (including finishing Draft One of my Maths coursework yesssss) and today, I decided to do some researching about women in the railway industry (to be fair, this is for a challenge badge but also I am interested in female empowerment and the state of equality/lack of in the railway industry is an excellent indication of general equality in Britain). So yeah. I found out a load about the railway industry and now you can too! At the birth of the railway near the beginning of the 19th Century (around the 1830s), the industry was structured in such a way to mirror how society worked. This meant that fathers and sons would follow each other into the industry while the women would become wives and mothers. They were, however, hired by rail companies to work although this work was prohibited to ‘women’s work’ such as cleaning and sewing. They were also able to be level crossing gatekeepers as it could be fitted in with family life - this p...
