Where i have come from to where i am now | Daniel Marshall Adventures

After watching a musician by the name of Jack Conte and talking to a bunch of other people, i feel the need to be inspirational.

when i look back at how my life has changed so much and how much i have adapted to life it shocks me.

I am not going to go way back in time, so we will start from when i first got with the person that i have to thank for showing me what life is about.

I was dealing with a lot from my parents and was suffering a lot with problems.

I had never really traveled, and never really experienced life out of room and nottingham where i lived.

Around the time of being forced to be homeless due to really not getting on with my parents and wanting a better life.

Was when i starting hanging out with  my Girlfriend who is now my ex, for the first time i had to get used to not having my parents to help me.

My gf at the time lived miles away and i could only see here once a week, i was living in a rubbish shared house with a landlord who did not care about the property at all.

Days of people shouting, banging and poor conditions meant my problems only got worse.
I did not know how to cope for myself but at least if i was down and wanted company, my gf was on the other end of the phone.
things were hard for both of us, and eventually we battled through it to live together.
Throughout the 5 years we were together we grew, we travelled and enjoyed life.
I might not of looked it but i was battling with my depression all the time, i thought it was normal so never bothered to get it sorted.
As couples do we aruged a lot, i also relied on her to much to do stuff as i really struggled to do the easiest of tasks.

So we ended up breaking up, not the way i would of liked to either.
For the first time in my life i was alone, i had to defend myself and get used to doing things by myself.
In a way i needed the break up in order to learn how to do things by myself, learn to change as a person and to find the help i needed.

For 6 months i let my depression get worse, i would not talk to people i would not open up, i didnt know how to, i knew what had gone off was mostly my fault and all i could think about was turning back time.

I let day after day slide away, as i had no drive to do anything.

Little by little over the 6 months i opened up a little, starting to let people help me and started to realise that i do have issues and need to get them sorted.

I am not ashamed to admit my problems, who i have had support from and knowing i need more support, because that is all about live learning your mistakes and problems and getting them sorted.

For the 6 months after breaking up, i slowly put my life back together, i was housed with Narco Housing who are a supported housing team, with properties across Grantham.
Is houses anyone who is homeless and helps them with any needs.
its only for 6 months with the chance to move on into a self contained flat with them.
I decided that i was ready to move onto better accommodation but not in my own place.




I felt that although my mind was in a better place, i still struggled by myself, with cooking, cleaning etc.

I fount myself a landlord at the right place with what i needed and my new life was about to begin.

From there things were getting better, as i started to get my head down, with being creative, making music, videos and enjoying learning about photography.
although i still not worked on my social skills i fount through my photography that i was slowly building a community around me.

as 2016 was ending my depression came back really bad and i was lost what i wanted to do with my life again.
I was getting no help from the mental health services and felt my life was going nowhere.

So i said to myself that for 2017 i am going to push even harder to get the support, i am going to work even harder to become stronger, to be more creative and be happy with who i am.

In the last 3 months in 2017 have been the best in my life so far,
I am more active then i ever was in my life, My skills have improved milestones, i feel more confident in my ability to produce Creative content (:

I have finally been able to be fully open to most people as this is me, not point lying to myself anymore or to anyone.

I think with me being open to a lot of people its why people now have my back more then ever,
the community of grantham have shown me a lot of support.
I have also done the same.
I decided to start my own blog on this site to help the businesses of grantham, tell people about my journey and personal life.
As well i started a twitter account aimed at helping lincolnshire grow, i like helping out the best way i can because i feel lincolnshire does not get enough credit and on the map.

We people in lincolnshire may not have as many places as Nottinghamshire, or as good transport etc but we give what matters which is having a awesome community of people (:

as i grow as a person, new and exciting chances come up.
the fact that i am myself doing all these amazing things that i come up with makes me feel better about myself then i was a year a go.

Its took me a year to find where i stand in life, i no longer look back at the past but instead acknowledge that without the events that happened i would not be able to experience the better life i have right now.

I have learned to cope by myself, learned to find ways around things that i can not do and learn to be happy with what i have got.

as not having a lot of things does not bother me as long as i can help people, improve my own skills and become more social then i think that is a life worth having rather then sitting playing computer games all day long !!!! (:

I am worried about the future because the events in 2016 made me push more then ever.
I am worried because i still can not get the support i need and now have been told i do not meet the levels to get higher help which it what i need.

So the steps i need to take this year is to take no for a answer and fight back, fight the people who do not believe in me, not literally of course (: to show people what i am all about and how i can help lincolnshire out.

Someone once said your live may seem like a circle but in someways you need to go back to the roots in order to get the help you need.

Which is what i have now done i am now going back in support housing, i am now going to seek the help i deserve to get better.

My social skills will improve every month, i will keep finding more and more ways to get my work out there, to make it better and better and find new ways of being creative.






I will become stronger in my physically body, so that i can run and compete to a high level.
I will push my boundaries and with my will power come out on top and better then before.
I will travel more this year and capture the wonderful world.
I will work on not being shy, not feeling awarked , not running away from places that i do not feel comfortable in.

lastly i will work higher then i ever have done in every aspect in my life to have the things in life i want.

I finally feel happy to be myself around others without the fear of judgement, without the feeling of not being welcomed.

That is all thanks to the wonderful people and support of Grantham !!!!

and i do not see myself moving out of this lovely place for a very long time (:

Thank you for reading

Grantham Tennis Club, Best staff in the world & My Happy Place | DanielMarshallAdventures

I have mentioned In Other Blog posts about Grantham Tennis Club, but i wanted to go into more detail why it is my happy Place (:

I am not a ashamed to admit that i have very bad depression & anxiety.
Around The beginning of September My Housing Support worker, told me about the scheme put on my the mental health services For Grantham Tennis Club.

The scheme was a 12 week course, where you got to learn how to play tennis, meet new people, have a laugh and get active.

I had not played proper sports since i was about 19, i played a bit of tennis, but was just a mess around, nothing serious.

I remember Joining another scheme but for golf when i was around 17, which was funded and of course free as well.

Its nice when you have the chance to do these things as if you are not a socially talking person or you can not afford paying for a membership.
It gives you the chance to see what its like (:

The first session I believe 20 people turned up, the sessions were 2 hours every Wednesday up until Christmas.

We learned many things that session from, how to watch the ball and catch it, how to control the ball on our ratchets, how to keep a volley going & much more.

What made the experience even better was we all had a break for around 10-15 Minutes to be served with plates full of fresh and juicy Fruits.

Within 3 weeks I had already made great friends with some people, and started to play very competitively.

As the weeks came and go, i started to miss playing more and more.

with 6 weeks left we had already learned so much, and everyone was improving at a fast rate.
each week, was fun but more intense as we started going from learning the different techniques and rules, to using what we learned in point scoring matches.

I remember getting so confused where to stand and move to when the opponents scored a point.
I also remember how rubbish my serves were to the point i had to do under arm ones.

One of things that motivated me so much and the reason it become my happy place was the amazing, staff, that cared for you, made you laugh, and got to know you.

Other things that kept me pushing to get stronger and better was aiming to be playing at the same level as the teachers.

Lewis Rae who is not only a great coach and has Recently Become a level 2 Coach. His skills are outstanding when playing as well, he is still very young but i still great things await him !!!

Then there is James Prior who does so much coaching its unbelievable, when he is not teaching us, he is working with the younger ages, coaching in all conditions of weather.
You can even book sessions to have a 1 to 1 with the coaches to learn even more skills !!!

The last week of the sessions was the most emotionally as the sessions were coming to a end.
Although plans were made to carry on the sessions but at a cost of 3 pounds i was not sure if i would be in a financially state to afford it until the new year started.

The last session was different as we all got to go to a dinner, and awards after (:

Everyone was all smartly dressed, the meals were amazing, and it was now time to give speeches and awards.

As mentioned at the start of the course, everyone who had attended most of the weeks got to receive their very own Tennis racket.

Other Prizes were given for best skills, best appearance etc.
I had won a award for giving a speech that i felt i needed to do.
It was a experience of a life time and i wanted to thank everyone for their hard work & Time.
I also won a award for turning up to every session.
I was a little gutted i did not win anything for tennis skills, it just meant that in 2017 I had to improve my skills and push myself.

I felt so happy to get my ratchet that i took a load of photography, and made a mini photoshoot of myself (:

I started to watch tennis, that i never had before, and was really into watching it,
Lots of times while watching Andy Murray Vs raonic i would be shouting come on Murray.
It was such a close game, and loved watching every second of it. Through Training at Gym, I valved to get stronger, and to give everything i have got.
When the tennis sessions started again .

Since starting back up, I made a friend where we would arrange to play a hour before session starts and a hour after.
we are both competitive, and laugh so much that Wednesdays only became more of a day where i wish i could stay and keep playing.

My skills have improved double to what they were before Christmas, I have a much stronger forehand, i can do 2 handed backhands were before i hated it.
I can get 90 Percent of my serves in and my awareness of where the ball is going to land is a lot sharper as well.

Now that everyone has been going to the sessions for over 15 weeks, its started to get more advanced, more intense.
Using the skills you have already learned, taking them to the next level and learning new things each week as well.

It is still my happy place because, for one day i do not have to think about anything at all, other then just being myself and having the best time of my life.

It is slowly changing me as a person, more confident, more determined, better fitness, will power etc.
All this could not have happened without the continued  support of Grantham Tennis Club.
Grantham is becoming more and more like home because of the unbelievable Community we have.
Grantham maybe small, and may not have a lot to compared to most places, but its the people that really matter (:

My aim for Grantham Tennis Club Is to pay for a membership over the next few months, take part in social events.

Even Practice Most days if i can so my skills are at a good level to enter competitions !!!

I have said it more then once but again Thank You Everyone at Grantham Tennis Club For making me feel happy and giving me that spark again in my life !!!!

The Year I turn my life around & New Goals I want to achieve |DanielMarshallAdventures

My life has changed so much over the past year that this year 2017 is being my far the biggest of changes.

Again After watching some truly motivating videos, I feel the need to look at what others have achieved and about time i start trying more then ever.
Knowing my friends, and people that i know are doing way better then me gives me more strength to show the world what i have got.

My Depression & anxiety with many other things have ruined my life and i have not even come close to living my life how i want.

Its something i have batttled with for a long time, endless time poured into finding the help to get better but every lead just comes to a dead end.

I have had to rely on my sheer strength, will power and other things to get me by in life.

To me I no longer want to run a video production company, i no longer want to become a Vlogger on Youtube, ok i might still post the odd video but making videos for now has gone out of my life.
I find my dyspraxia getting worse and worse every week, to the point i struggle to get my words out more then i ever could.

Some days I even do not have the passion for my photography, its only when i am in a good mood, or i have either learned something or this is a important event i have to cover that i suddenly feel the need to do good.

That is something I have never had which is drive, the need to want to be praised, i have put myself down so much in my life due to my problems that this alone can make my depression worse.

So from now on I am going to proud of everything i do, push, push to get better and better.

Which leads me on to my goals this year.

These have changed since i last thought about them heading into 2017.

I have always had a big drive and passion for sports, the competition, the losing, and the having fun are all elements of how much you dont know your own body.

Near the end of 2016 Thanks to Funding from the mental Health Services and the wonderful staff & facilitates at Grantham Tennis Club I managed to get back into sports.

I realized how much of a slob i had become, and not only wanted to make friends, but to get active, get away from the computer and not just play tennis but learn what it takes to play good.




It quickly become the place where i was happy, to the point i wished my life would pass till the next week so i could be in that place again.

I go once a week but 2-3 times a week I practice my skills on my own and sometimes with a friend.

My aim is to Join Grantham Tennis Club In the next few months, every week get stronger and better, ask to join some competitions, or teams, and work my way to becoming a tennis player Professionally.
For that I need the will power and skills that I have but to a whole new level.
My asthma has been one of the issues stopping me from taking sports to a new level.

When i left school I joined a local  football team, and was one of the most horrible experiences in my life, not only was the manager useless, but i was to.

The first game, I nearly missed as clever me brought Football Boots, went to test them out, and twisted my foot.

Woke up on match day and felt healed expect 15 minutes into the game it decides to hurt worse then when i twisted it and took a week to heal.

I didnt even have a chance at a second match due to not being fit enough while training.

so i dont care if i come home hurting, i dont just want this i need this i want to do well at sports.

Which Going to Gym has been helping a lot, I joined at the end of 2016, because i was tired of being so weak, and poor stamina.
Through the help of Friends, who go to the same place, I feel Happier in life, i do have wobbles but i feel stronger, quicker, fitter, its helped with my will power in tennis lasting longer in matches.

So my goal for the gym, is to keep increasing my weights every month, to increase my speed, and stamina every month, so by 2018 I am ready to take on a lot more then i am doing now.

Carrying on with fitness goals is Grantham Running Club.
I made a terrible attempt, in fact 3 at trying to think i could go from hardly any running, to running 5k

Back In April 2016 I was looking for Groups in Grantham to join and found this group, when i saw the price i was liking, hell yes even if i give it a go, and its not for me, least i know i dont have to pay a lot.
The price was £20 For a whole year with sessions being 3-4 times a week.

I had to give the running up, as with all 3 runs, i had stitches, I felt like i was going to pass out.
I wouldnt Recover to 100 percent for days after a run.

So This year i am re Joining in a few months time, and hope that all my fitness work i have done so far has paid off.

By the end of 2017 i want to be able to run 10k, and by the end of 2018 be entering competitions.

2 more things left !!!

My Photography is something I have already started to Achieve the goal i set out at the end of 2016 for this year.
Which is to find new creative ways to create those magical moments, find new ways to share them to network with other photographers.
With studying photography at college, I have learned Photoshop which has made my work to the next level.
As well as Being with a group of people in Photography club, learning about different Techniques and having objects and people to Photograph.

I want to this year when i have the money to travel to hull, leeds and reading (:

so there you have it my goals yes i have set high ones that is because like i mentioned above, i am tired of who i was, i am tired of sitting most days bored on my computer, i want to interact with people, go places and improve all the time.

It would be cool to hear what other peoples goals are so if you want please comment them and lets see if we can help each other achieve them (:

As always you can see what i am up to by the following links

Being one person, Photographer,Music Producer, Social nerd Etc | DanielMarshallAdventures

i would like to mention that i am pulling all the blog posts i did on my other account onto this one, so it builds more of my brand (:

I am One Being One Man Who Has Many Creative Talents (:
So lets look Into Them.



                                                                                                                      In June 2012 I Think It was Aspect Reviews was Created A review Channel I ran with Someone.
The channel was made to review any kind of product but have a Comedy Feel to it.
We soon Ditched that Idea as it was not us.
Over The years We connected with Big Brands
Magic Box I.N.T Aka Magic Box Toys, MunchPak , Toxic Fox, Venna V Aka YT CLUB, Colossal Crate & Many more.

We went From Uploading 3 videos a week to between 8-10 And Reached 1 Million  Channel Views with over 1,000 videos Created

During The Time of these Videos DanPendragon Was Born  A Channel For Vlogs, Gaming ,
* Other Content,

Most Of These Videos were Created with I Movie with sometimes very little effort
I made some Really cool Videos inc One of the best ones that is now lost forever.
It was A competition Video I entered Into Making  A Rocket League Music video.
I spent Days Creating This and was well Proud a moment in history for me (:

This year 2016 I Brought Back my Channel with A new Channel New look, & Much Better Quality Content.

So Being a YouTuber Is Awesome I only wish sometimes i could turn my Creative Ideas In my mind To The Video Platform .



I can Put my Hand up right now and say I always liked Looking at Pictures Taken But never Liked Watching someone take them or want to Capture something Myself.

That was Until June when I got My Funding From The Princes Trust to embark On My Business Adventure.
I went & Brought A Sony A5000 Camera. Its Not The best But For now it will do (:
I started Off By going for long walks Through My CountrySide Town Of Grantham.
Taking Pictures of anything i could and then editing them.
Throughout The months I learned What the camera can do and the settings needed in each environment i went to.

From September To This Day it when My life Changed and My Photography Career Began,
I wouldn't know what to do if i lost It.




When I first saw This website I really Did not get it and refused to be a part of it.
With not doing Photography Back then anyway Then It would have been no use to me.
1 Month After Doing Photography, I started to see how much of a impact it can Bring
to getting your Name out there and appear In google Keywords AKA (SEO)
Its not only a Platform To Share Photos with your friends but the Chance to Network With other Photographers.
To Optimize the best Performance To get Those Pictures out there.
You have to use HashTags For Example This Morning I Used About 10 Different ones.
Within a hour I had Over 100 likes, Inc Comments , within 4 hours over 300 likes and still Growing.
If you want to know more about hashtags then let me know.



As I mentioned Above About Funding This was Needing to set out my Business plan.
my Business is To Create YouTube Videos For Businesses.
This itself Is a whole new Challenge for me.
Why you may ask? Well I need to Not only Be a Director,but Have Creative Ideas.
Through My Skills, experience & Researching I set out to be a Video Producer.
After Effects along with Photoshop, Lightzone, and of course the most important
one Premier pro.
Being a Video Producer is more then Taking Footage and quickly slinging a video Together.
You have to scope the place your Filming  Out. Arrange Times, Location,
If anyone wants to be Interviewed, what they are going to say, where they need to be.
Working out in your head, what clips flow, what effects needed, & Much More.
It is no easy job and many times can be very stressful.
However When that video is Doing so well and its Helped that business / People out.
Its worth it, to see People Taking Their Interest you.
To me Its something I only Dreamed about when Being a YouTuber.
I want to do so much in my life , i have tons of drive, passions, ideas
I want to excel, Onto better things. Again doing all this by myself is its own Reward.



When I was 18 I went to college At Confetti Studios In Nottingham.
I Studied DJ Skills, How to Record Instruments, Live sessions, Recreating Movie Scenes,
With Sounds Recorded In real life. For Example there was a scene in The Incredibles Movie.
Where Mr Incredible Slammed down onto a moving Car.
We Created that sound From the real world using Different Techniques.
This was at first Diploma Level & National.
I always had passion for sitting down on a computer and seeing what i could Produce.
I remember the times  Using good old Dance Ejay to Create Tracks, it was a laugh.
I have used many Programs to Produce music But i would have to say.
The one i am using now combined with Visual effects In after Effects is my best work so far.
with my Revamped skills, and looks, I also wanted to Revamped My Musical talents.
So I got my head down and studied Online, To Create DMP World

   
 For me I set a target that i will achieve one day of Getting artists Together.
To help Promote Their Musical Talents Onto My DMP WORLD YouTube Channel.
This Channel hosts many of my own work with visual effects,
So the idea is to do the same but with Other people (:

So there you have it one social Geek summed up in a NutJob.
I am who i am and will always love that about me.
A social Outcast But A Very Talented Guy

Welcome To DMP Adventures !!!

welcome everyone !! the video you can see explains my most happy place which is Tennis.
Grantham tennis club,staff and the facilities make this happen (:

So in this blog i will explain a bit of who i am, and what i do.

My name Is Daniel i am 25, I like to explore, travel, make music, write, make videos, take photography. I am also up for learning something new to add to my even growing list.
I am a dabbler and i see myself always that way.
I just find with being a explorer that i always want to find different things that will challenge myself, put my creative ideas to the test and make the most of life.
I live each day as it comes, i plan a little and if i do not manage to get those things done, i work with what i have got so to speak.

From the age of around 10 my brain opened up to what was really going off in my life.
I was not in a happy place, due to a number of reasons,
One of which was my parents, which made partly who i am today.
I have suffered from depression from a young age and still battle with it to this day.

It means that i can get very upset, and often angry at myself for being this way and not having the motivation or will power to do what i set out to do some days.

Everyday is a battle not knowing if what i planned to do will turn out or i will just fall to pieces and then having to think for days how to overcome it and try again.
which does lead into my anxiety, a few people of said to me they are 2 different things, and in some ways they are and arent.

If you suffer from anxiety, where you dont like being in big groups, getting a tight chest, feeling like your going to have a panic attack.
you can even feel like leaving places or fear of entering them because of people judgeing you on who you look, speak, and other factors.
so when you have depression, it does affect your anxiety more, it makes you more worrying, more afraid.
For me there are days where, i will not leave my room, I have a few friends, who i took to for advice but its always a battle of letting them in so to speak.
I want advice and help but at the same time, I feel i am wasting there time, fear of them judging me, them not understanding, wanting to be cared for, and praised but i put myself down all the time.

On top of all this i suffer from dyspraxia, sometimes my words come out wrong, i know in my head what to say so its not like i am dumb, but my mouth goes nope and says stuff mumbled or in a different way to what i had thought.
Other ways this affects me is my hand coordination, which links your brain and your body.
again looking stupid, and feeling stupid because i know how to tie laces, i have been shown loads of times but then my hands get muddled up and i end up frustrated and upset that i can not do it.
Another obstacle which i have only recently fount my own way around it but taking longer, is cooking, i can not for the live of me peel, and struggle to chop.
for years i relied on my ex partner to do all the cooking, and often my current housemates.
It feels so good to cook for yourself have meals you missed out on instead of buying supermarket crap (:

What i get up to

In 2016 I wanted to run my own video production company, but the love for making the videos comes and goes, because of my depression. Not only that but when you have other roles of your business to sort, you lose passion for making the videos, well for me anyway.
Around the time of wanting my own business, I got into Photography.
This has lead me into networking with fellow photographers, explore countrysides, doing photoshoots, helping other people out, going to events, and covering important community stuff.

I do a lot of market Research, testing out places to share my work and network with.
Not all of these work Thats why you try something and look for other ways to Promote your work.

  


As you can see by watching the video, Tennis is my Happy place, its the place where i put the most effort in, all my problems disappear.
it makes me a different person, where i can talk to people, I have fun and learn to push myself to the point my body hurts (:
All this could not be possible without the best staff in the world and the facilitates at Grantham Tennis Club.

I hit the gym with 2 great people who help push you pass your limits and has helped me get better fitness, strength and will power.
I also play pool once a week, and have played for over 4 years now, i love it even if i am playing by myself, again its a place just to be happy,

I am currently learning 2 courses at Grantham College to improve My photography skills.
I like to watch YouTube Videos to relax, play a few games, watch some movies and listen to some tunes.

So overall this is me i could go on for ages but i do not want my first Blog Post to be to long,
Feel free to check at my social links if you would like to know more (:
