Believe you can.

Sorry for my rambling.

I spend far too much time on blogger.
I do.
There's just something about words that i find intriguing.
The fact that we can create and destroy our whole lives with what we say.
We can design the world around us just by the use of thoughts, ideas, and speaking them out.

That's all any of this really is, if you think about it.
What we and others say determine how we perceive life, our actions, our beliefs, what we like and what we dislike, what we hate and what we love.
I also believe that, because of our words, we limit life.
I mean really limit life.
We talk ourselves in and out of things all the time.
We tell others of our opinions and theories about boundaries and limitations - but what if we're wrong?
What if there is a possibility of defying the laws of gravity?
Who created those laws anyway? A human being, like you or I.
Sure, they looked at gravity a lot closer than the rest of us probably ever would, but even though in all likelihood the laws make sense, humans are capable of errors.
We all make mistakes.
So what if we really could do something humanity sees as impossible?
Those people who studied gravity in such depth as that are human beings, just like us, or just like the people who studied the bee insect.
According to the laws of physics and gravity, a bee should not be able to fly.
But it still flies. And bees will always fly, because it's in their nature, because they believe they can.
Lucky bees can't understand those telling them they shouldn't be flying, ya see. How about we start believing for things we've always wanted, but have been told we can't have? We limit ourselves with our words.
As i always say,
Only Those Who Attempt The Absurd, Achieve The Impossible.

So yeah, goodbye. I'm off to go flying now. :D

And i'll take the truth at any cost.

I am outside
And i've been waiting for the sun
And with wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry
With words i cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this?

Because you're amazing.

When i see your face, there's not a thing that i would change.
Because you're amazing,
just the way you are.

i do love kittens.

simple as that.

ehehe.

I hate you.
I love you.

just now.

"Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy, don't give up on me baby."



We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

You make my head spin. You seriously just came out of nowhere, and now you are everywhere i turn. Where did you even come from?



I hate this.

I was mesmerised.

I'm not kidding when i tell you.

I do love you.
I really, really do. So, yeah.
Yeah.

Frustration to the maximum.
This is stupid. It's very, very stupid. Why do you do this.

Oh confusion, how i loathe thee.

Black Saturday.

I'm writing about the Black Saturday bush fires for an English assignment, and i remember just how truly horrific it was to have happened. It feels like yesterday, though it was more than a year ago. So many people have amazing stories to tell about their Black Saturday experience. Mine isn't much. This is my story on that day.

On February 7th, 2009, it was a scorching hot Summer's day. A bunch of my friends and I arranged a get-together at the Sale pool to cool off. There were a lot of us who showed up; about 20 or so. It was heaps of fun, filled with laughter and a carefree feeling about the day. Summer was in full swing - blue sky, sunshine, feel-good music wafting through the air, and the feeling of sunscreen and beach towels against our backs as we lay in the sun. Some friends left earlier than others, and the rest of us jumped back and forth from in the pool, to sunbaking, and back into the pool again.

After a few hours of this, Kirsen and I were a little peckish and went into the canteen area to grab some food. We were inside for no longer than 5 or 10 minutes.
As we headed back outside again, everything felt strange. An eery silence had fallen over the pools. Laughter and splashing sounds had stopped completely. I looked above me, at the previously clear blue sky, and revealed the cause for silence.
A great big, purpley-grey cloud rolled in, rapidly covering the sky, turning the bright shining golden sun into a small ball of crimson red. The happy music had been switched off, and the once blue pools, riveting with play now seemed dark and silent. Winds picked up from the same direction of the menacing cloud. Lake Guthridge looked dark, purple and angry as choppy waves lashed against its sides.

Kirsten and i hurried over to who was left of our group of friends, and all of us agreed on leaving. We said goodbye to the others, and Steph, Kirsten, Pat and I walked out the pool gates in the direction of our homes.
By now the cloud had completely covered the entire sky, and an orange haze spread across the town. The winds were hot and stung against our sunburnt skin, blowing ash and dust in our eyes. Steph and Kirsten turned down their streets and said goodbye. Pat and I picked up speed, walking speedily towards my house.
As soon as we walked through the gates, we both ran to the front door to escape the potent smell of sulfur and smoke. Inside the air-conditioned house of refuge, my parents sat, watching the Live News. Images of blazing firestorms flashed across the screen, engulfing whole forrests and towns.
Pat's father walked through the front door to pick him up and take him home, and a hot gust of sulfuric wind blew inside.
I knew people's lives were in danger, i knew it was serious, i knew it was horrible. But at the same time, i had no idea.

To think that while i was relaxing in a pool, loving life, others were burning alive.
We think we have it hot and stuffy in summer? Never again should we complain about heat, compared to what those lives went through.

I always think about something like this, and realise how many other similar events have occured in this world. Countless times in history, a completely unexpected, unpredicted event has happened without warning, and taken the lives of people who could have just as easily been you or me.
I know many people must have thought about these things before, but we still should remember these things more often.
R.I.P All 173 lost souls.
We all need to cherish our lives more.

Nothing else.

And with you i feel nothing but love.
These stupid words cannot even begin to describe how i feel.
I don't know much about anything, really. But i do know that you are all i will ever need.
I just want you.
Nothing else. Just you.

I am entitled to my own imagination.

I know i'm stupid.

Summer is real.

Throughout this winter, i've been dreaming of summer. My mind has been swimming with thoughts of running through sprinklers, last-minute road trips, car pools to the beach, adventuring around town, sunbaking, starry nights and best friends.
But because winter always feels too long, i forgot that Summer isn't just a thought of mine. Summer isn't just a hope, a wish, a dream; Summer is real.
only 17 days until we're out of this winter. Spring reminds me that there is still hope for sunshine and blue skies.
It's coming, really really soon! I can't wait.
These are some photos of what usually takes place in my summers with friends.












And these are just really random photos. I would put more, but once again, i'm too lazy haha.
My point is, Be happy - Summer's nearly here :)
