Random Thoughts I've had lately PART TWO!

Hi friends! HAPPY THANKFUL THURSDAY! I haven't done a Thankful Thursday in a while and that's because I've been keeping a daily gratitude list (as many of you will know from previous blogs + vlogs) but I thought I'd start this particular blog with things I am grateful/thankful for today. So today I am thankful that I'm nearly through all my dental work on my root canal, my health insurance helping to pay for the said root canal, and my partner Luke and our pupper Benji Bear who bring so much joy to me (even though they can be super annoying at times haha), having a roof over my head, being able to walk, my 5 senses, my friends and family in multiple countries, my mum doing well with her recovery, my socials growing (especially my YT and I think I know what direction to go in next), my blog and it being monetised and gaining more and more traffic each day - it's something I'm super proud of and work really hard on), and clean drinking water. What things are you grateful for today? Let me know in the comments below! #gratitude #thankfulthursday #thoughts

I also thought that I'd make another "Random Thoughts I've had lately" post as my last one did really well and people seemed to enjoy it. And I'm thinking I should make this a regular thing, not every week but maybe every couple of weeks as I've just started a notes app on my phone for random thoughts I have. I like doing this because it helps me get all the sh*t of my brain out (kinda like a brain dump) and then I feel like I'm being my most authentic and vulnerable self. I've ALWAYS been an oversharer, to my decrement sometimes but it's just who I am and I am definitely someone who wears her heart on her sleeve. So with all that being said, let's get into random thoughts I've had lately, part two!

Random Thoughts I've had lately Part Two

• I feel dizzy, ugh.

• I'm so tired.

• Awww Benji, stahp being so cute!

• Oh gosh, Benji don't eat that (both said in my head and out loud LOL).

• Does cheese actually give us weird dreams?

• I couldn't give up cheese or chocolate. And I have given up a lot of food with having IBS.

• I wonder if parallel universes are real?

• Why is there so much hate in this world?

• I want some damn chippies.

• Omg, her voice is so annoying. I can't focus on what I'm doing.

• I love pumpkin soup.

• Should I start a Facebook group for blog sharing? I've read a few things that say it's a really good way to gain traffic to your blog.

• I feel sooo behind on my blogs and vlogs.

• My YouTube channel is not silly or stupid and I'm really proud of it.

• Is my true calling sociology? Should I educate the world?

• I feel sad because I want to see an aurora but the alerts keep coming at times I feel awful.

• I miss doing astrophotography but as I get older I get more scared of the dark and I worry about my health (and the cold on my tooth).

• Damn, that dream felt real - I got stabbed in the bloody leg, WTF?

• Why is Raundanautica popular again? Should I try to play it? I know it's just confirmation bias but I kinda want to play it. Wonder if Luke will play it with me.

• Why do I do well on Instagram & YouTube but not TikTok?

• Why do I start so many complicated passion projects? I feel so behind in life.

• Sometimes I just wish I could run away.

• Why do I keep bringing negative energy into my life?

• I feel sick.

• People need to stop mowing their lawns, it's so distracting. How are you not working at 10 am on a Monday??

• I can't stand these beep sounds.

• Showers make me feel better but I always wanna get out once I'm in there, am I the opposite of everyone else?

• I forgot a thought.

• I just want something chewy to eat, one more appointment to go.

• The dentist is expensive, rip wallet and savings.

• Why do some people find technology so hard to use?

• Am I too judgemental? Am I too b*tchy?

• Is this going to become a series?

• I want to finish my secret ebook project for the blog but other things keep taking priority.

• How do people get 40k views on their blog per day? What am I doing wrong?

• Why are there so many SEO scammers out there?

• WTF is Benji barking at now, there's nothing there? This is why I think my house is haunted.

• I want to be skinnier and more toned again but looking at my high school photos, no wonder people called me anorexic. I wasn't, I had and still have a healthy relationship with food. I didn't see how small I was back then but I definitely see it now. Like idk how I was that skinny, I would eat dinner then eat like 10 pieces of toast and still couldn't put on weight. At least now, I have.

• Why do so many people go door-knocking asking for money?

• F*ck IBS.

• Why do I keep watching YouTube videos where literally nothing happens?

• How do I get a job on Travel Guides? I think me and Luke would be SOOO funny.

• Why the heck is there a notes app on my phone and all it says is "news" - like that's literally all I wrote? Was it a dream? Because I don't remember it!

• Am I capable of achieving more?

• I wish my brain would shut the f*ck up sometimes.

• The house doesn't feel clean enough.

• I'm over doing thought diaries.

• Is life a simulation? That's one scary conspiracy theory.

• I need a new way to spice up my daily gratitude list so it doesn't become mundane.

• I need to fix my herb garden, my parsley is going all over the place (there's SOOO much parsley) but my other herbs are looking a bit sad, I might need to replant them. Omg, I also need to get potting mix for my indoor plant.

• I also need to water my plants, I haven't done it since we got back.

• Should I do a PhD? What would my topic even be on?

• Am I chasing the right career path?

• Sex is biological, yes, but it's not binary. If sex was binary, intersex people wouldn't exist. Also, Imane Khelif is literally a female/woman, shut up bigots.

• Why is everything so much scarier in the dark? Horror movies during the day, no problemo. Horror movies at night = me no sleepies.

• Whoa, spooky noise.

• How do I manifest more money?

• Why do I feel so angry right now?

• Should I go to culinary school? Would I be able to handle the pressure and time constraints? I think I'd freak out on a show like Masterchef. I like food but idk if I could learn to be that technical.

• I want to redecorate my house so it feels more like home but that costs money.

• OMG Guy Montgomery replied to me on Instagram. Did he just rickroll me? Oh no, why can't I type this video into Google? HAHAH, no he didn't but that was clever.

• So many appointments, how do I get rich quick? LOL.

• I am scared of the dentist today (referring to August 14th) - I hope it goes well. Spoiler Alert: I survived, but it sucked at the time.

• Will we ever be able to afford a house?

• I am not a big fan of Nestle but I absolutely love their coffee and chocolate. This is a problem.

• I wonder what sort of dates George Clooney and his wife go on?

• Why am I thinking about George Clooney? Oh, that's right, he works for Nestle.

• I never want to live on a main road again, not with a doggo.

• Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy is so f*cking weird, like what the f*ck is going on? I feel like I need to go back and watch all the previous seasons to understand it all again. But I do want to give the production team kudos for writing Elliot's Page as a man because I am glad he's happy. Don't come for me, transphobes.

• I cannot believe Benji has finally learned how to use the stairs.

• I hope I can find new topics/ideas for my Freaky Friday Files so I can bring it off hiatus.

• Why does this dog cookie treat lowkey smell delicious?

• I want to go ghost hunting.

• I really like The Project, idk why it gets so much hate in Australia?

• This is why I only limit the amount of news I consume.

• Why are there so many paywalls? Would that even work on my blog?

• Should I buy a lotto ticket?

Anyway, thanks for reading and I'll see you soon!

Much love,

Ash xox
