Picture Perfect

Today I finally received the Canon EOS 600D that I had been waiting for, it was the greatest moment. This afternoon I went to the beach and had a play around with it. I took this photo of a bird which I really love. I've put in a few others that just show what I'm up to.

A Lifetime Ago

Stranger, it's very surreal this blogspot nowadays. I feel like I havent written something meaningful in forever. So, here we go. A little update on my life:
I've finished school, graduated. It wasnt as hard as I expected it to be and life has been spectacular since it ended. I got an ATAR of 87.15, which I was really really happy with.
I've been to Sydney probably 10 times since then, visiting my brothers and enjoying no responsibilities. They are the best.
I turn 18 in 2 days. I'm so excited, but at the same time it makes me ridiculously scared. I just dont want to be old. I want to be a kid forever.
Im also moving to Western Australia in 50 days. I'll be there for 7 months and I am going to save so much money! Life is going to be really good.
Then Abby and I will venture to Europe for as long as we like and have the greatest time of our lives.

The future holds exceptional things. Things we can only dream about. Sometimes these dreams and our expectations become to far-fetched. This is why we must not expect to be dazzled by what we are yet to experience. I want to live like I have the least of everything. It will make my life seem far more perfect in every way.
This living thing, it's truly awesome.
It inspires me. People inspire me.
Culture.
Music.
It inspires me.
I have wanderlust. It has overthrown any other feeling my body possesses.
Let me travel, let me experience. I want to adventure.
I will do it. Our life is too easy to control.
Until then x

Cheer up cherub.

It's quite sad how little I write on this anymore. But it is also extraordinary how amazing it feels to be able to come back to this little website and write away all the thoughts in my head. That is something I find truly wonderful about my blog.
I want to write about happiness.

It seems so much nowadays, that our generation, our sisters and brothers, our best friends and schoolmates are lost. All I hear is about how 'lost' people feel and how all they want in life is happiness. I think this, the pure longing for a sense of happiness from well over half of my generation, is what makes me feel upset sometimes. It makes me feel like all the hope in looking back on my teenage years in joy is gone.

So, in my own little way, for the very few people who will read this I want to give you some reasons that you should be happy:
- you're breathing
- you were born
- you can smile and laugh
- the world is yet to end
- we can change the prospect of the ending world
- there are people in the world, just like you, going through shitty times
- we have no responsibility
- there is music
- zooey deschanel exists
- harry potter exists
- you have the ability to imagine
- we can paint and draw and write and read and sing
- someone loves you, very very much
- there's a whole world we are able to explore
- there is still a natural world
- we can swim and run and dance
- sometimes it is actually good to be alone - solitude is bliss

there are a few things that make me extremely happy.
I can bet my bottom dollar that one of these things relates to you.
So smile, we're alive, let's put it to good use yeah?
