Blogging Hiatus?

November 25, 2014


"Should Graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not, it's way more important than that." - Banksy 

Okay so I know I wrote a post a long time ago about how I was feeling really uninspired with my blog lately, but I've decided that it's got to stop. There are too many wonderful things happening in my life right now and I want to share them with you so badly. I have my beautiful camera and I just want to be able to document my life on here and through videos. 

It's weird a weird thought though, as I write this post all I can think about is the fact that all Augustus Waters wanted was to be remembered, he wanted people to know his name and in the previous paragraph I was going to write, I want to be able to document my life on here and through videos, so I can be remembered, but the thing is though, behind all the sadness, pain and hardship that is The Fault in Our Stars it teaches you that you should only want to be remembered by those that you really know, your friends, family, loved ones, etc. 

So basically I can't decide if I'm being selfish by writing these blog posts. Of course I want to leave my mark on the world but at the same time I don't want to seem like I am ungrateful for all the wonderful friends and family that I have been blessed with. I write this blog for me, so I can sleep better and just for my own personal therapy. So I can I just have my little corner of the internet, where I'm not scared to put myself out there, where I can just write from my heart and not feel pressured unintentionally by those around me to write. 

I basically began this post because I saw this cartoon trailer for Zoe Sugg (Zoella)'s book Girl Online and I remembered how much I loved my blog and how much I enjoyed blogging, so I'm gonna try and go back to my daily posts, but lets see how this goes. 

No pressure. 
No obligations. 
Just you and me.

Inspiration? Or Lack Of.

November 10, 2014


"Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve." - Mary Kay Ash

So over the past week I have been feeling a bit uninspired when it came to my blog and I just feel like I have had nothing to write about. This had made me really sad because I love to write on this blog and clear my head. Today I though it has been over a week since I wrote on this space and I need to write something. I need to get the thoughts out of my head and put my thoughts out into the world. 

Inspiration is something which I used to find everywhere and I used to be able to see something and rattle off a blogpost as easy as pie, but I have not found something that has made me go yes, I want to write about that in such a long time and so I've decided that I need to make more effort. I need to put more time and work into my blog, to make this space a lot nicer for people to come and read and just find some things that interests them. 

A blog is pretty much an online journal, or that's how I use mine and it's quite scary to share that and allow people to read what goes on in your head, and for me that means a lot of people now know my deepest darkest secrets and my most intimate thoughts on various things, but I'm coming around to the idea. I get so much positive feedback on my blog and I honestly work incredibly hard on all the posts that go up, so I think I should be proud to share my work. I shouldn't live in fear of people finding my blog or my YouTube channel, which has been happening a lot more lately. 

I waited to high school finished before I started my YouTube channel, I waited over a year till I shared my blog with all my friends, and I still haven't told a lot of my family about it, but that's okay. It's our little secret. It's just my space, where I can write and think what I like and I do miss posting everyday and I'm going to try and make an effort to blog more because even as I write and and ramble away I feel like so much pressure is being released from my shoulders and my brain and I don't feel like I'm missing something. 

If anything this week off blogging has taught me that I need to share my work and I need to have the courage to put my thoughts into the world, because so far I have got nothing but a positive response, now that might change in the future, but as long as I'm happy, healthy and having fun, I honestly don't think it matters what other people think of you or think of what you're doing. 

So I hope you enjoyed this rambly little post where I just stream of consciousness wrote and that you have a wonderful day!

A Younger Woman.

"Love is spiritual. It's about self-sacrifice and commitment. And discipline. You cannot have true love without discipline and respect. When you loose the respect of your spouse, you'be lost everything." - Carrie Bradshaw (Candice Bushnell, The Carrie Diaries)

So this is just another quick picture post because I'm still trying to catch up with my regular posting, but here's an appreciation post of the beautiful Anna Sophia Robb who played a young Carrie Bradshaw in the Carrie Diaries. I love and adore the Carrie Diaries and miss the show so much, I am still obsessed with Sex and the City but I really love how approachable this show was for a younger audience. The narrative voice of Carrie inspires me more and more to write and to live my life. I also am obsessed with the beautiful colours and style that is 80s fashion, and one of the major bonus' is that the soundtrack is all popular music hits from the 80s and I really love 80s music so the soundtrack of this show is a definite bonus (I have searched everywhere for a CD or somewhere where I can buy the soundtrack).

I hope you enjoy!

It's All Over.

November 01, 2014



"It's much easier to not know about things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody." - Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower 

So, it's all over. Today was my first proper day of complete and utter freedom. I never have to wear a school uniform again. I have completed my HSC (High School Certificate) and I have never felt so free. This is honestly one of the oddest feelings because I really don't know what to do with myself. 

I've edited and uploaded my first YouTube video. I've purchased myself a MacBook. Had a play with my new camera and browsed my DVD collection a good couple of times before I've found something I actually want to watch. I basically don't know what to do with myself. I'm organising social activities left, right and centre but other than that I'm just tidying my room and getting my strength back. 

I guess the HSC was a somewhat positive experience. It allows you to test yourself, and test what you've learnt no matter how cruel the methods. I also think that I've earned my free time. I've worked hard for six whole years and now I can do what ever I like. 

You know in a couple months I'm going to say to myself the HSC wasn't that bad, but you know what I'm writing it down now. I'm putting it on record that the HSC was bloody hard. There was tears, there was sleepless nights, there was more support and encouragement that ever imaginable and a countless amount of hugs. It's all over. It's all done and if you have any suggestions of anything I could do with myself to fill in some time then please please let me know!
Oh and guess what NORMAL POSTING IS BACK!!! No more delayed 5 day spam! 

Ps. That image really made me laugh, because there is no way in hell I am crying because the HSC is over.

Hello YouTube.

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." - Walt Disney

So today is the 1st of November, 2014 and I just posted my first video on YouTube! Let me know what you think and I'm sorry it was so awkward!
