Jeans

I went shopping for jeans on the weekend as mine were falling apart. I decided to go with a couple of friends. It was a fun shopping trip and i ended up coming home with 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of shorts. I did feel short because the jeans were actually 3/4 jeans and they are too long on me... but it saves me having to hem them. :) The other thing is that the jeans are purple and orange... a very bright orange and the short are yellow 

The lighting is kinda bad but the orange ones are kinda a highlighter orange and the purple are lilac. 

I wore the purple one yesterday with mixed comments... some people like them others didn't. I made some of my friends days cause they thought they were so amusing. I think the worse one was that one girl (who i knew) actually pointed and laughed. I was surprised at the fact that I didn't care. Yes it hurt a little but I finally don't mind what other people think.

I'm wearing the orange ones today and cant wait to see the reactions I get :) Life is to short not to live it up a little. 

"Live the life you love, love the life you live" (no idea who said it, a girl in the gym had it tattooed on her arm)

change

One person cannot change the world alone. 

But one person can change their own lives. 

They can make one small difference in one other person’s life. 

And if that person goes on to make a difference in one other person’s life and this chain keeps going then eventually the world will change bit by bit. 

So in essence one person cannot change the world alone but their actions may. 

change is not a bad thing. It is something that needs to be embraced. Change means our lives are moving forward. So live in today and worry about the future only in your spare time. because change will happen no matter what and there is nothing you can do to stop it. So don't worry even if the change seems bad everything will work out fine in the end because somethings take time and pressure. and without change sand would never become pearls and coal would never become diamonds. Everything has to undergo some form of change if they want to progress.

So remember one small thing... a smile, just saying hello... can mean the world to a stranger. restore faith in humanity and live for something... Anything :) even if it is your dog or a plant. there is someone or something that needs you. 

Live life, love life.

Creativity

so this week I decided to do something creative

This is what I did:

I bought a cheap singlet and a vivid that doesn't come off in the wash and drew a monster on it. Seeing I don't draw it took about 10 drafts before I came up with this but I think it looks pretty cool. I wore it out and had a random sales assistant tell me how cute it was so my proudness levels sky rocketed :) 

This is a door... a monster door. The hair is made out of strips of coloured crepe paper. The eyes were circles of plain white paper which we painted black circles on. the mouth is also plain white paper. it took about 1 and a half hours to put together a lot of blue tac and sellotape. the overall result was pretty cool though 

I also wrote a poem and played my violin so I think this weeks productive creativity has been pretty successful and seeing the weather has been awful it was nice to add a bit of colour back into the day.

Get creative guys and make every little thing count cause you never know who's day you might brighten 

We Will Remember

I wrote this poem in rememberace for all the soldiers that have died to defend us.

We Will Remember

They left in numbers

Too great to recall,

Fighting for freedom

And peace for us all.

Many were young,

And most were afraid,

And all of them knew,

The fate that they faced.

And yet they still fought,

Never gave up,

To protect the world

And all that they loved.

 

We will remember,

We will persevere,

Keeping close

What they fought for,

For all those years.

We shall move forward,

We shall stand tall,

We shall remember,

Those who were torn.

With the hope of tomorrow,

We will conquered our fears,

Facing our lives,

Even when they seem hard to bear

We will remember,

We will live on,

Striving for freedom,

And peace for us all.
