I Believe In Karma

September 16, 2017 Leave a Comment

I believe in karma. What goes around comes around, and if you treat people like crap that’ll eventually catch up with you. This post isn’t throwing shade at anyone in the blogging world-I highly doubt that the people I mention read my blog (if you do then hello, yes this means you-you’re a dick) so if you’re a blogger, don’t think this is about you. It’s not, but if reading this post makes you think oh yes I treat people badly like that too-then use this post to make you stop. You’re welcome.

Treating someone you work with like something you’ve scraped off your shoe says far more about you than it does them. Blaming that person for a different person’s shortcomings makes you a terrible manager. Asking that person to take on a project knowing you’re going to sack them three days later is a complete dick move. Eventually people will realise what you’re like, most of them already do-you know the saying ‘keep your friends close and your enemies closer’? Maybe that’s why everyone tells you you’re brilliant…

Spilling someone’s secret, when they’ve not even told you it but you’ve presumed, is bang out of order. Other people’s problems are not your gossip fodder and people you tell don’t think you’re awesome for it, they think you’re a moron. Oh the hilarity when you then go through the same thing yourself, karma if ever I saw it.

When you’ve bullied someone for years at school, or used to be friends but since you left you’ve completely dropped them, and get in touch to see if they’ll shoot your event for free-nope. People do favours for friends, not users. I’ll more than happily do paid work for you though, but you think I owe you. I owe you nothing.

Bringing someone into your life, introducing them to your child after five minutes and then ghosting them after a year is absolutely pathetic. Think of your child, not the fact you’re a spoilt brat who kicks off if they don’t get their own way. That poor kid being given a brand new family, getting close to them then never seeing them again and not understanding why.

This became a bit of a therapy session I think, but I do feel good for getting this out onto paper (well, a screen!) I believe in karma. Do you?

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I'm Laura, a 33 year old Yorkshire girl aiming to see as much of the world as I can, usually by myself. I'm a big fan of animal print, bright lipstick, gin liqueurs, cocktails, photography, writing and booking flights. I'm in love with a Lhasapoo called Buster and if I don't have my phone, laptop or a camera in my hand, you probably need to ask if I'm feeling okay. I blog about short city breaks, usually solo, on a budget without a hostel in sight. I also cover food reviews, life with Fibromyalgia, and there's a bit of lifestyle content thrown in when the mood takes me. I'm aiming to have visited 40 different countries before I turn 40, so I have 7 years left. Coronavirus has slightly changed my plans for 2020 but so far I'm 17 countries into the challenge and as long as September and October remain safe to travel I'm adding Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Serbia and a couple of others to the list before this year ends. I love working with brands on sponsored/collaborative content and if you're a travel or food related company, or just someone you think I'll love, please do get in touch.

I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog a I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog all that seriously in 2020 and barely posted on either. That's fine, obviously, but I miss both, so for 2021 I want to be back to daily Instagram posts, finding people to follow that bring me joy, learning the best hashtags to use and trying to make a bit of progress on here. Hoping I'll get a fair bit of travel in in the second half of the year to help with this too. Happy New Year, Instagram!
Walking quickly out of 2020... This year has been Walking quickly out of 2020...

This year has been a bloody weird one hasn't it. Not just with the Pandemic, although obviously that's been a big part of it, but dealing with the hangover from a breakup, trying to make my new house a home, maintaining friendships when I can't see anyone and I'm not good on Zoom, and A LOT of overtime at work. Work has been going really well though and I'm excited to see what 2021 brings me there. I do know that I miss properly using Instagram, and writing on Inside Laura's Head, and I'm currently writing my 2021 goals post as we speak. What are you looking forward to in 2021?
Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has becom Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has become one of those 'I really need to go back to....' places on my travel list. On Thursday I posted over on the blog about what I did during my day in the city, I wasn't sure whether to post this so close to the horrible events they've had this week but actually, I think sharing how amazing the city is is a very positive thing. Link to the post is, as ever, in my bio, if you want to go and have a read
I've spent today working overtime and listening to I've spent today working overtime and listening to a new audiobook, 'The Year Of Living Danishly' by @mshelenrussell. Ive finished it in a day, loved it and want to go back to Copenhagen now as well as exploring more of Denmark. But for now, I will stay at home, be sensible, and add Denmark to my plan for if things work out for next year. 📷: @fordtography

I've been home from my trip for 48 hours now and I I've been home from my trip for 48 hours now and I've got that never been away feeling, as well as over 300 photos to edit and at least 6 blog posts to write. I wasnt sure how I'd feel about Vienna and I only had a day there but it turns out it's a city I'll definitely return to, as there's so much more I want to see now.

My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I feel in the morning!) was St Stephens Cathedral where I tried Chimney Cake (yum) and Schnitzel (meh) before heading back to my apartment and collapsing onto the sofa. Tomorrow I have an hour ish to the train, 4 hours on the train, a 2 hour flight then an hours drive home, after maybe 30 mins to get to my car. I suspect Monday is going to be a flare and a half 😑
Prague, its been a warm one, but I've had a lovely Prague, its been a warm one, but I've had a lovely couple of days exploring! Never did make it to Prague Castle but its somewhere behind me 🤣 I wasn't sure whether or not to come abroad on my week off, and I only booked this on Friday to fly on Tuesday, but it's doing me the world of good, I have two days in Vienna to go before I fly home, and of course I'm taking the relevant precautions and will be isolating when home. Its so quiet here though which helps ❤️
