B.E.D.A 2018: Day One
Hello everyone,
and welcome to April (have we seriously entered the fourth month of 2018
already).
WELCOME TO BEDA 2018!
As
you’ve probably already seen from the title and the header picture, this is
part one of a month-long blogging challenge called BEDA (Blogging Every Day in
April). I’ve attempted so many of these challenges in the past and failed, but
that just makes me more determined than ever to complete it this time around.
Each
post is going to be in three parts.
One
– This will be the main content part of the post and I’m going to be covering
quite a few interesting subjects over this challenge, some of which I haven’t
really blogged about before.
Two
– Inspirational or motivational quotes on the light-up message board I bought
for myself recently, along with a bit of explanation as to what that particular
quote means to me.
Three
– Last year, in April, I counted down my favourite songs from 2007 (a decade
on) and this year, I am doing the same again, but for 2008. However, this time,
it’s bigger and better, because instead of a top 40, I will be counting down
the top sixty. That’s right, my sixty favourite songs from 2008, counted down
two a day throughout this month. Bring on the ’08 nostalgia!
So,
there is a lot of content heading your way over the next thirty days, but it
should be a wonderful challenge to myself and I hope there will be something
you find interesting!
CHALLENGE YOURSELF
This
is the first of my thirty inspo quotes and here’s why I’ve decided to include
it.
As
said above, I have tried so many times to complete these kinds of daily
blogging challenges and not seen them through. In spite of these “failures”, I
will still continue to challenge myself on this and in other aspects of my
life.
The
idea for me is that I will not let my previous “failings” stop me from pushing
myself forward and getting up and trying again. It is so important to me that I
set myself these goals which are just slightly more challenging because I will
always feel a sense of achievement, even if I don’t quite finish what I set out
to do. I set myself the challenge and will keep setting myself challenging
goals because constantly putting myself out of my comfort zone is what will
eventually help me grow as a blogger and as a person.
SONGS OF 2008
Let’s
kick off my musical marathon through the epic year that was 2008 with songs 60
and 59 on the list.
In
the days before she became the worldwide superstar that she is today, nobody
knew who Adele was. This is the song that launched her ten years ago, her debut
single – chasing Pavements.
At
59, Boyzone reformed in 2008 after nearly a decade of hiatus. This was the
second of their new tracks since getting back together, and it broke new ground
as the first song by a boyband to feature a same-sex couple in the video
(although it seems strange to thin that it took until ten years ago for this to
happen) and on top of that, it is a beautiful, yet not well-known track. This
is “Better”.

And
that is it for day 1 of BEDA 2018. If you’d like to keep up to date with me,
you can do so via my social media platforms (links are in the sidebar ß) and I hope you will look forward to
tomorrow’s post.
Until
then, keep positive, keep smiling, and above all, keep believing.
