Carrie Hope Fletcher Inspires Me!

-
 
First of all, I made a post exactly like this about Louise Pentland about a month ago, which you can view here!
 
Carrie Hope Fletcher was the first YouTuber that I had ever watched in my entire life! I think I started watching her in 2012 (The next time I watched a YouTuber was in 2014 so you can see how far away I was from loving YouTubers!).
 
What happened was, for Christmas in 2012, I got McFly's book. I liked their music so I thought I'd read the book. I started on Christmas day and I became obsessed with them.
 
As I was stalking them on YouTube (Watching music videos and interviews etc.) I found Carrie. When I found out that she was Tom's sister, I really wanted to like her. I had a day where all I watched were her videos, and I fell in love with her. I just liked her personality and how funny she was.
 
However, I didn't realise how inspirational she was to me until last year. Some of these videos may tell you why:
 
The two main things that connect me and Carrie are our love of books and Disney. Literally, I have never watched anyone more like me than her, which I love!
 
Carrie inspires me, as Louise does, to love myself for me. This is really hard to do, as I assume it is for loads of people.
 
But with Carrie, what I love is when she's unscripted and just speaks. Some of her videos are the most inspirational things that I have ever seen in my entire life.
 
 
Now, Carrie makes mistakes. She does things that some people may not agree with and she gets a lot of hate for it, which upsets me. Why hate on someone for being human?
 
That's another thing about her. She makes me feel like it's completely ok for me to make mistakes. Personally, I hate taking risks in case I make a mistake and end up doing something stupid, but after watching Carrie, I feel like it's ok for me to make mistakes. Everyone can make mistakes and we have to learn from them.
 
As well as this, although her brother is famous, she has never used that to get to where she is now. She works her arse off for what she wants and, as a result, gets to live her dream and perform in the West End, which is one of her dreams!
 
She also makes me feel like, maybe, I could be living my dream too. A year or two ago, she used to talk about how much she wanted to write a book, because books mean a lot to her.
 
Now, she's only gone and written a freaking book!
 
 
It comes out in April and I can't wait to read it because I am just so excited for her and incredibly proud of her!
 
I'm going to stop going on before I ramble forever, but I just want to say that Carrie Fletcher means the world to me, and one of my dreams is that someday, I can inspire someone else.
 
Thank you for reading

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Miller's Girl | Film Review

A creative writing assignment complicates the relationship between a teacher (Martin Freeman) and his student (Jenna Ortega). I heard about this film maybe once and remember being interested in it, but then I never heard anything about it again. So when I saw it was available to rent/buy on Prime Video, I decided to give it a shot.  I don't know what to make of this one. I didn't hate it, but there wasn't a lot to like. The only thing I did like was that Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega worked really well together and had good chemistry. I'd love to see them work together again, in a film with a better plot and a less weird (platonic) relationship. The characters are written really weirdly. There were many moments when they said things that were just so unbelievable, especially Jenna Ortega's character, Cairo. Another odd aspect of the film was the tone - I could never tell if things were supposed to feel sinister or not because the film couldn't decide how it wa

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i

Snatch | 100 Movies Bucket List

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due
