Well…. hello 🙂
I know it’s been a while, and I wasn’t sure when I’d be back ‘here’. But sitting in bed, listening to some lovely music with a piping hot cup of tea, I felt (for the first time in a while) that I wanted to pay my Little Blog Of Horrors a visit. It wouldn’t take a detective to notice that I’ve taken a step back from the virtual world in the past few weeks. I’ve had a lot of personal things happening in my life, I’ve had to face up to a few difficult situations, and ultimately make some of the hardest decisions I’ve made in my entire life.
Some of the searches Google Analytics has shown about me and the blog lately, have been downright mental. If you follow me on twitter, you’ll have seen me mention now and again what these searches were. Really laughable, and really pathetic. My life is not a glossy magazine, and nor is it any of the business of the losers who try to GOOGLE ‘what happened to ayden millar?’ Really, what do you expect to find? An online ‘zine about my deeply personal life? It actually baffles me! I know my blog is a personal one, ‘lifestyle’, or what have you. But in no way does that mean I owe anyone the right to know about my life in its entirety. Especially people who don’t have my best interests at heart. If that’s what you’re here to expect, please leave now. I can’t control who reads this (ex’s, old friends, people who dislike me, people from school, ghosts from my past – whatever) But if you are one of those people, and you’re here reading my blog, then you should really ask yourself why.
At the end of the day, shit happens. Life happens. I hope you’ll understand when I say I don’t want to go into details. And I hope I can continue to write my blog and share bits and bobs of my life with you all as I try to work my way through the hard times I’ve faced. I had to get that wee rant out of the way, but it is really overpowered by the amount of lovely folks who have been emailing me over the past few weeks to make sure I was okay. I am okay 🙂 and I have made some really amazing friends through writing this blog. People who are there for me, and some of them I’ve never even met in person before. I’d never let a few silly google searches, or anon formspring questions trying to invade my privacy ruin that. No haters, internet creeps, or plain dumbass’s will take this special wee corner of the internet away from me. No chance in hell.
My life is busier than ever, and it’s good to be back ♥
Look how long my hair is growing eh?
Celebrated Max’s 1st birthday. This boy is going to break some hearts 🙂
Showing my Hairaisers extensions a night on the town. They are fab, but more on that soon!
Just some really amazing girl I know ♥
Home made cocktails (aldi branded alcohol ftw)
Wouldn’t be a sleepover without Mr Lotso (he still smells like strawberries)
The view from Dominique’s beautiful new home.
Cosy pub dinners with my cousin, aunties and my mumma. If I grow up to be half as amazing/inspiring/independent as the woman in my life are, then I will be one content wee lady.
My career has went into complete overdrive lately, with lots of exciting things on the horizon and genuinely not much time to sit on the internet (but I’ve been trying to keep up to date with my google reader) I do have a quite few fun bloggy related things to post about soon, including a gorgeous facial I got at Zen in Edinburgh, the Raybans I won through the Style Passport competition, and a few other lovely things worth mentioning. But that’ll all follow soon. In the meantime, thanks for sticking around. Here’s to a new chapter in the Little Blog Of Horrors ♥

I am happy to have you back. I bet it feels brilliant to clear the air and say exactly what you want to disclose and when you want to do it. Glad to see you are surrounding yourself with beautiful people, oh my Max is just the sweetest. Your career life sounds exciting too, can't wait to hear more about it! xx

aww it's good that a lot of people are entering exciting new chapters in their lives! I too hate haters (i did a short post about it on my blog the other day) and hate telling all about my life online (why? it's not their business) but we are the fighters here! 🙂
Oh and am loving all your photos, I love your hair extensions!

Bollocks to the people weirdly invading your ever so private (and rightly so) private life! Thats really weird, but kudos for you to remaining true to yourself!!
Good to see your posts back, I love reading your blog and seeing your pictures! Your extensions look ah-mazing! I've been wanting to try some for a while now but keep chickening out!!

I also go silent on the blogging front when things are difficult for me; personally, I'd rather be silent than 'bear all'. But anyway, it's great to see you posting again! Liz xx

It's great to see you posting again and well done for not letting those people get to you, or steal this lovely little blog away. You look fantastic and I hope everything is going well for you career wise and as for the hard times, there's always a light at the end 🙂

I'm so happy to see you back! And I'm even more happy to see you back with that beautiful smile on your face! 🙂
Max is absolutely adorable, and you're right, he's going to be a little heart breaker when he grows up! Look at that cute little smile!
I can't wait for your lovely blog to pop up on my dashboard a little more often now. I've missed you a lot & blogger land just isn't quite the same without you!
Lots of love

I'm trying to imagine how pathetic one needs to be to google the personal details of someone else's deeply personal ups and downs? Waste of space.
So glad to have you back. Keep your pretty wee chin up and throw yourself into your career. Looking forward to reading all about the good little things xxx

Aw, bless. I hope you are okay.
I really like your blog & am glad you are back x
August 29, 2011 at 4:39 pmAlice
I hope you are okay. We all need time sometimes to take a step back from our blogs.
I really worry about old friends, enemys etc reading my blog, but if they do read it does it really matter? I kinda wish blogging could be a little more private at times but thats part of the package I guess.
Keep up the hard work Ayden, you have always been a great inspiration on here xxx
August 29, 2011 at 4:50 pmCat
Really glad to see you back (have been lurking around here for a long time, and following you on Twitter since starting that malarkey a couple of months ago) and hope you're okay. Looking lovely in your pics!

So nice to have an update from you, and glad to hear you are okay. No one has the right to demand personal information from you, so you're right to just ignore it. Gorgeous pictures as always m'dear!! <3

You have no idea how happy I am for you, sweetie. I'm so glad things are looking up. You certainly look even more beautiful than before 😉 You've always got a friend in me. Yes, I'm right at the other end of the country and I'm merely on the internet but I still want to be here for you cause you're one of the nicest ladies I've come across. Congrats with all your work lady (: I was telling Luke all about your work the other day and he was very impressed I knew such talented ladies 😀 Hope to speak soon!

I'm so glad you're writing again on this blog, I missed your posts. I saw from twitter you seemed down, so I hope everything is back on track for you.

As weird as I feel saying it, I've really missed you(r blog)! Really glad everythings good and you've had the time to come back. Looking forward to whatever you feel like posting, I personally think it's your honesty that makes your blog so lovely to read, don't be concerned with what a few anons are bitching about. Those negative nancys are far out weighed by people, who just think you're pretty amazing and inspiring. Just remember we decided to follow you, so you're obviously doing yhings right x
August 29, 2011 at 10:38 pmVictoria

I personally love reading your blog and hope you do continue to keep it on. Some things you touched on during this post, i can identify with and it's really nice to see that yes you may not have had the the best time lately but you have a positive outlook despite that. And a positive outlook can conquer a lot 🙂

Glad to see you're back! But those people are absolutely crazy to google you like that! Your life is no one else's business! I'm sure those people wouldn't want others nosing around in their lives.
Your little brother is growing up so fast! He's such a cutie!
Keep up the good work girlie, and know that even though some people are a bit weird about your blog/life, that you do have a lot of admiration from all your followers! :))
