Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
~Jacques Prévert
I'm in such a state of euphoria, I've had such a good few days. So this blog entry is dedicated to exactly that. The reason for my new-found happiness is threefold; it's fast approaching my nineteenth birthday, and I have a lot planned for it, I get to see Adam Cohen in concert with a lovely person, and I managed to buy some gorgeous dresses today, only to discover I've dropped a dress-size... RESULT.
I just wanted to point out, how the little things are enough to tip the scale and make someone's day/week/month. I've learnt that over the years, things aren't always going to go your way, so you might as well make the most of every little thing that makes you smile. Life is full of ups and downs, and you need to hang on during the tough times to appreciate the good times.
Simple things can make or break a person's day, a simple compliment, a text, or even a friendly hello. I aim from this day forward, to try and make at least one person's day better - in any way, shape or form possible. It feels great to notice the happiness instilled over a period of time.
For now, I know this was a pretty pointless blog entry (as many of my entries are) but, I felt the need to share my happiness in the hope that it will get people thinking about how they act/speak to others, and try not to dwell on the bad things, and live life to the fullest, and thrive in the good moments.
It really is the little things in life that make ALL of the difference.
Until next time, xoxo

& whilst you ignore her, she's falling for someone else...
I recently stumbled across an article, and it concluded that based on a number of scientific studies the average crush lasts four months and if it lasts longer then you've fallen in love.
I was just wondering, how much time is wasted pining over someone. Looking back over the years, I'm pretty certain I wasted a lot of time thinking about or being with the wrong people. But, that's not what this blog post is about, I just had to get that little point out in the open. I apologise in advance for the lack of articulation in this post.
I've learnt over the years that, to keep someone interested, you have to make the effort, you can't expect them to do anything. The "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" mantra is complete nonsense, and if you start ignoring someone or not giving them as much attention as you used to - they're going to fall for someone else and fall out of love or lose any developing feelings for you in the meantime. Love is a complicated thing, it never comes around when you want it to, and when it does it's always at inappropriate times or it's something that has no future.
I'm currently in the situation described in the blog title. It's been playing on my mind a lot recently and basically, I don't know what is worth pursuing. On the one hand I'm completely smitten with someone and I feel safe around them, and we are never short of things to talk about, but on the other hand, I'm completely head over heels for the other person, I know there is a higher possibility of a future with them, and I get butterflies every time we speak. But it's a matter of head over heart, or heart over head. The earlier is losing my affection - I don't feel like I'm as important to them anymore, as they seem to putting less and less effort in than when everything began. However, the other person seems to be giving me more attention than ever before, is being sweet, considerate, and I know I can rely on them.
So the decision is definitely a 'to be continued'.

Without obstacles how would you ever know what you are capable of?
We are faced with challenges and opportunities every single day- both full of positives and negatives. Life is all about how you deal with the hand you are dealt.
We live in a land of opportunity, not of entitlement. Without obstacles and challenges, how would we ever know what we are capable of. I am a firm believer in making the most of every situation, and being optimistic with anything that comes your way. If you have the determination to succeed, there is no reason why you would not achieve what you set out to achieve.
I recently started a new career, and so far it is a lot to remember, and I know that it's the beginning of a huge journey, and a huge learning curve - one that will bring many obstacles, and I intend to develop my abilities and hopefully strive to better myself in as many different aspects as possible.
Obstacles are the trials life throws at us, to determine how strong we are, and what we are capable of in the long run. Determination and positivity is key, and we all know our own strengths and weaknesses through our past experiences - that's what makes us who we are.
I realise this isn't as articulate as my other blog posts - but it's hard to keep to the same standard when there are a lot of things buzzing through my mind at 100mph. So I do apologise for that, but when I have more time I will come back and write something more in 'my style'.
Until next time - xoxo.
