...and these are it's people.

I heard somebody say today, that visiting a friend or relative in hospital really drained them since they had to "put on a happy front" and "pretend that their lives were good". It amazes me when I think about it, that we can all be so bloody ungreatful. Myself included. Can we really be that miserable that in order to appear content to an onlooker we must "put on a front"? When I think about this I know that I too would have felt the same about "pretending" everything was well. But really, everything IS well. Sometimes I wonder if we put so much energy into convincing everybody else that we lead the perfect life that we forget to appreciate the blessings we have. Trying so hard to appear happy could result in us forgetting that actually, life can be pretty good.

So this is the world...


So this is the world hey? Strange place don't you think? I mean, if we'd have been warned about how hard life here would be sometimes I think I would have stayed away. But thats not true. Its the struggle to the summits that make the journey there worthwhile.

Who am I? Who are you, and why do you have the time to read my blog? I can tell you who I am, or who I think I am, but you will make your own mind up as to what you think I am, I'm sure.

I'm young still. I don't want the ever looming responsibilities of adulthood, careers and debts just yet. I have one more day of working life this summer before I go back to Uni for my final year. I wonder who I will be this year, and will I finally manage to be the person I want to be. As of yet I don't really believe that I've won that challenge. Sometimes I really feel like I'm somebody else, other times I just think I'm not quite myself. Ive adopted the aquired motto of Google... "Don't be evil" Simple, but somehow says enough about the way I feel I should approach this life. 10 years to the day since the start of Google. Does anyone even remember how they found things out before the site was around? Do public libraries still have a purpose in society?

Anyway, I have a man in my life. I'd like to say he was special, but I don't know if he is anymore. I'm sure there's more of him to be told but for now... this is me. Girl Perfect x
