star studded
This week has been such a good week. Feeling pretty chuffed at how chill life is being at the moment!
But, ya know what? Life can suck fat ones - sometimes more often than you’d want it to. And ya know what else? There’s nothing you can do about it! Stop trying to change what you cannot change. Embrace your trials and tribulations, enjoy the journey that it takes you on and build a bridge. And all you haters; don’t try build walls in front of someone’s bridge when they’re doing their best to just get by. Your negativity, although may seem like ‘constructive criticism’, can be all it takes to tear someone down again.
Here’s to all the bridges!
I ♥ anything with studs!

hand in hand
I hadn’t really thought about this before, but have you ever thought about how long you’ve known someone for?
People always come and go throughout your life, it’s inevitable that this will happen, yet it is amazing to consider the friendships that have lasted all those years. The last few months seem to be the birthday season for people I know so it’s made me think about each person I know and the connection I have of them (21sts’ rule by the way!). No matter the amount of time you spend with someone, it’s really made me realise it’s about what you do with the time you have with someone that counts. The memories of awkward moments, the celebrations, loss, births, happiness, success, failure or conquests are all things that we share with people that we will always remember. Friendships should not be limited, you just do life together - through the good, the bad and the ugly.
So here we are! Some friends of mine who will always be remembered..

After prayers, lie cold
Be still..
“Arise my body, my small body, we have striven
Enough, and He is merciful; we are forgiven.
Arise small body, puppet-like and pale, and go,
White as the bed-clothes into bed, and cold as snow,
Undress with small, cold fingers and put out the light,
And be alone, hush’d mortal, in the sacred night,
-A meadow whipt flat with the rain, a cup
Emptied and clean, a garment washed and folded up,
Faded in colour, thinned almost to raggedness
By dirt and by the washing of that dirtiness.
Be not too quickly warm again. Lie cold; consent
To weariness’ and pardon’s watery element.
Drink up the bitter water, breathe the chilly death;
Soon enough comes the riot of our blood and breath.”- C.S. Lewis

the best things are left un-said
I am all for being honest and telling it how it is but you have to have some tact, cause sometimes it can be just straight up mean. Like legit, it’s just mean.
You don’t have to like everything that people might like, or do everything that people are doing, there’s nothing wrong with having your own opinion. However expressing it with such force that you turn your nose up at other people is just plain rude. Many times in my life I’ve been in situations with people doing or saying something I don’t agree with, and many times I’ve done something that someone doesn’t like, yet instead of them just accepting that we have different opinions on something, they literally turned their nose up and sat disgusted the whole time. What is your problem! You don’t have to agree with everything all the time but you do not need to act so rudely and pompous just because it’s different to the way you think.
You’re opinion and thoughts are no better or lesser than anyone else’s, and you’re definitely not always right. So get over yourself.

little one
There have been so many babies being born recently, particularly over the past few months. Lucky for me I can help ease my cluckiness on someone else’s child.. but I am still super excited to have my own in the future.
One thing that I still struggle to understand is some of the names parents call their children. Yes, it is your child. Yes, you have the right to call it what you like. However, your poor child has to live with the name you give it for the rest of it’s life. No matter how cute it might sound, how cool your think it is to change the spelling or how different and unique it is, it is someone’s name, not just a cool thing you can make up to be trendy.
Be careful with the the name you give! For the sake of your child!

I’m getting too good at finding stuff in my life that is not going the way I want it to!
It’s so hard being round negative people.. sometimes no one has anything positive to say about anything and it is so easy to become the same. It’s sad how easy it is to be negative and wallow in pity for yourself, it truly truly is. And yes, sometimes not everything seems to happen the way you want to it to, but if you weren’t given challenges, how would you know you’ve achieved anything? It is crazy how much of a difference it makes taking the time to be grateful for something in your life just once a day. Taking time in the blur of a day to remember why you’re doing what you’re doing, to see the bright side of things and be thankful for what you often forget that you have.
Be friggin grateful for once. Jeepers.

May you be mine
I’m sure all of us can relate to me in same shape or form when I talk about friend requests on Facebook.. I’ve had many situations where I’ve accepted a friend request, cause somewhere in my mind I had decided it was a good idea, when really it was not. Well I usually add people out of sympathy to be honest, especially if they’re kinda weird. But in the back of my mind there’s always a criteria of sorts that people have to fit for me to add them..
One
Do I ever speak to them? See them on a regular basis? I don’t see the point in being friends with someone just so they can stalk your page, especially if you never see them or talk to them and want to keep it that way. A friend on Facebook shouldn’t resemble your relationship or acquaintances connections anyway. Facebook is not the only way to have a relationship with someone and shouldn’t be the only way you maintain these.
(there is of course the obvious exception for family that you have to add out of politeness.. and for your own safety).
Two
Do I want to maintain contact with this person? Finishing school is a great example of this. If you don’t have to see them daily at school, work or the likes, then you shouldn’t have to add them. It kinda follows my first point cause all they’re gonna do is have a troll your photos once in awhile but never communicate with you. And if you never really got along with them then why should you be friends with them?
There’s also the double standard of stalking - to an extent, we all do it! If you’re going to be hypocritical enough to delete someone so they don’t stalk you, then don’t be annoyed when someone does it to you for doing the same. There is power in the delete button! Don’t be annoyed when someone wants to use it.. You’re probably annoying anyway.
