Heart

Have you ever had it when something or some things happen,and then you get a complete change of heart?

I've decided not to revolve this blog around D of E, in fact to be frank I never want to hear those three words again. Just thought I'd get it out there.
I've realised that although it would be a great achievement etc. etc., it's not something I'd like to do in a fixed amount of time...those experiences should be fun, and done when you feel like it in my opinion.
And as for volunteering, I feel it's not something you should be doing to get an award for; it should be something you're doing because you want the reward of knowing you've helped someone! But I'm not saying you shouldn't be praised, you should do volunteering with the intention of having a good feeling for yourself and knowing you've made someone else feel good, not with the intention of having an award at the end of it (that to me is what D of E is suggesting, it's like a reward scheme made by highly respected people slying enticing young people to be perfect by rewarding them with glory when they're aware that they're only doing it for the praise by others).
...rant over.

Anyway, on with the positivity...I've personally come to the conclusion that it's good for people to do what makes them happy (as long as you're not hurting other people, or yourself, pretty obvious). You don't have to live up to stereotypes, religions, other groups, find what makes you happy and do it!
Recently I've found what I like/would like to do (I did make a list of over 100 things I'd like to achieve in my life too, a bit over ambitious, I know):
-Being with friends, nothing beats it.
-Spending time with family, those moments when everyone gets on and has a good time are priceless.
-Kindness, I love it when people are kind, and random acts of kindness towards people make me smile :)
-Cameras, okay I'm no photographer but taking pictures then looking back on them days, weeks, months, or years (the best) later is the nicest feeling.
-The sea, living on an island is actually the best (sometimes! ;)) you're never more than 15 minutes away from the sea, and not to sound like an OAP but it's so nice to look at, and be in of course! I can't quite understand what it is, but I love it. Also, I'd love to try surfing, I just can't stop thinking about it.
-Snowboarding, I don't know how I can put this one on the list as I've never even been but there's something about it that makes me want to try it so bad.
-Being inspired; not necessarily artisticly inspired, anything that makes me smile or gives me an idea we heart it.com has a lot of lovely pictures, I can gurantee you'll find a handful to like. And when it comes to clothes, lookbook.nu is the best for fashion inspiration, you'll see what I mean when you get on there!
-Jamie Oliver, need I say more? I love everything about him; how he loves people, his happy-go-lucky outlook on life, and the food reflects his personality so well, if that's not weird. Moving on...
-Radio 1 and music in general; it keeps me going. That is all.


I guess you can say that's a more updated inroduction of myself, sorry for anyone who actually read all that out of their own free will, if I bored you completely out of you brain.

I promised to post more, I have a lot to say now.
