Published in Monday's Evening Standard, Keira Knightley admitted to taking herself too seriously in her early twenties. In a recent interview she described how she used to "play act a version of trying to be a grown up" and was embarrassed about being young. After having just celebrated her 25th birthday with a karaoke party, balloons and a never ending supply of party rings she realised, as the song goes..."I was much older then, I'm younger now".
At 23, I'm going through a funny stage in life. You're no longer a girl, but you need to have fun, you're not a fully fledged grown-up career queen but you are desperate to get your foot on that ladder and establish yourself in THE world of work. My question is, how do you juggle all these things effectively and stay well and happy?
Ironically on the first day of posting on my brand spanking new blog all about the importance of waking up feeling fabulous... I have a cold. Typical. Nevertheless, a cold can't stop me in my tracks. Even on a day when your best friend is a packet of Kleenex I find its essential to give yourself a treat. Today, mine arrived in the form of a coffee in the glorious autumn sun with a copy of last night's Evening Standard. Hope you've had a moment of joy in your day too.
