Hold out for that 'something amazing'

True story.

How I met your mother - always gives me a well needed laugh

...it would happen to someone else.

And finally.. adding to the messy emotional week:


On Friday I was hanging out with a bunch of friends... I then realised that these had originally been the ex's friends. I had become such good friends with them, whilst we were going out.. partly because the ex never wanted to hang out with mine (charming huh :p)

But then I realised that sometimes it feels as though I shouldn't be there. Or as though I had gone back in time but without the ex. Either way it felt a little strange.



On Saturday night, I hung out with another bunch of friends. And then upon reflecting, realised I sometimes didn't even feel like I belonged there either. Me and my sister (shes only a year older than me) started hanging out with them at the same time.


Sister went out with one of these guys. It lasted for quited a few years. They eventually broke up. And now sometimes it feels as though I shouldn't be hanging out with these friends either.

I have a small circle of friends that I'm really close too. But none of them are in the same 'groups'. Which is fine and I love them all, but sometimes I wish I really had a 'group' that I could really call mine.

Here's to the mess that is my head.

ps. "Shit happens... but sometimes I wish it would happen to someone else". Saw someone joining this on facebook.. gave me a bit of a giggle. Shameless, but I've sure we've all thought it at some point in time :p

... but sometimes I wish...

Warning: This may turn into a bit of a venting session.

But let’s start on a happy note:

My lovely work friend, we’ll call her work friend (:p) gave me a bunch of beautiful yellow flowers upon hearing about my cat. Totally made my day. She is a wonderful one, that’s for sure.

However, to add to the same week as the one I lost my cat, I started to feel like I’m losing one of my closest friends.

I'm pretty lost and confused by it.

We were at the same party the other night, it felt like she was annoyed at me, yet I was somewhat annoyed at her.

It feels like were drifting apart, that were simply at different places in our lives right now. This made me sad. Yet I also feel like I’ve been fighting to save the relationship for some time. And it feels like either she doesn’t notice, or doesn’t care.

I’m not sure if I can keep fighting for this friendship if she’s not willing to fight for it as well.

Lately every time I’ve invited her to something I’ve been turned down. Everything at the moment is about her boyfriend.. maybe I just don’t understand the way she feels but I’m not sure. It’s not a new relationship; they have been together for almost 5years. I told her about my cat. And she responded that she was missing her boyfriend. (He’s been away on exchange for 6months). There was only so much sympathy I could still give to that situation. Especially when I found out that he was coming home on Sunday.

She has been one of my best friends for the last 6years, and I’ve known her for longer than that. I was there before this boy. I know that may sound lame, but you know, sometimes it would be nice not to be blown off because of him.

(Note to self: Maintain friendships!! A relationship is most definitely not the only thing)

Shit hapens...

There, I'm going to say it. I'm sad. I'm not all that happy.




I'm working on it though.

It hasn't been the nicest of weeks.

To try and be brief, my poor old fluffy ginger cat was attacked by a dog off the street. And all he was doing was sleeping, curled up in a ball next to our front door.

I was not at home when it happened, but seeing him afterwards was bad enough.

We decided to operate despite his age, but unfortunately his internal injuries were far worse than expected and he could not be saved because of his age.

I had to let my gorgeous fluffly cat go. I've had him since I was 8. I'll even go as far to say that it was one of my longest relationships =p

I still expect to see him everywhere.

I know he is a cat. But still, it makes you think... one day, one moment, one act, can change so much.

There isn't time for 'tomorrows' or 'one day' because 'what if'.

If theres something you want to do, go out there, do it, make it happen.

Something we say, but possibly don't think about enough in our daily lives, is to live without regrets. You only have one life, so live it. Experience it.

Smell those flowers...

Sit on that boardwalk

Hang out with your besties, those that love you, that you make you laugh

Have those deep and meaningfuls... even if there late night drunken convo's

If you can dream it,

Go out and experience it.

Whatever it is.

Do what makes you happy.

Thats what its all about isn't it.

ps. yes those weren't photos of my cat. but they made me smile

I love the power of quotes

I signed up for what again?

Yesterday I handed out flyers at my university, advertising an information session about university exchanges.. so we weren't really selling anything.. and I happily volunteered to do this.

As soon as I was given the leaflets to handout, I realised what I was in for. We often have MANY people handing out advertisements, flyers, leaflets at uni... and I realised how annoying that I have often found it. Now I was on the other side!

As I realised this, I had a little giggle to myself. Luckily I only had to do this for an hour. Somethings I learnt..

- Having a giant smile on your face, gets people to stop, and happily accept what your handing out.

- Your attitude has impact on everything you do, and how you see the world.

- Manners... they are important! I didn't mind people saying no thanks, but to simply ignore you.. well it's kinda rude.

which leads to:

- Be nice to people! The simple use of manners or a smile can really affect a person's day.. (is it really that hard?!)

- I made people smile with my enthusiasm, it was a good feeling!

- Always try to remember what its like to be in someone else's shoes, to see another point of view. (I will always be polite to these people from now on, perhaps they simply volunteered to do a job =p )
