"you may not be her first, her last or her only. she loved before, she may love again. but if she loves you now, what else matters? she's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together. but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice and admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her and give her the most you can. she may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her which she knows you can break - her heart. so don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyse and don't expect more than she can give. smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad and miss her when she's not there."

- Bob Marley

That magnificent feeling of simplicity is all around me. I feel like after all the months of having people tug at my every limb.. Pulling me into unrecognizable directions. Now they have all let go. Just ever so gently while letting me adjust to this new feeling of ease. Like someone softly letting an elastic band slowly morph back into it’s original shape. I’m finally floating through the weeks with a positive attitude and happy outlook on my world. Suddenly everything I’ve done and worked hard for over the past year is paying off. I have it all lined up and am the happiest I’ve ever been.  I love the experience I’ve gained, the people I’m meeting and the qualities I’m discovering within myself. Ahh this is just blissful ♥ ♥ ♥

Those feelings of my stomach clenched. My breathing becomes inconsistent. i all of a sudden feel like I’m nothing. From one minute of feeling like I can achieve anything and everything - to the next minute where I feel inadequate.

Jealousy.

It’s a killer.

It’s by far the most unattractive quality in a person, yet such a difficult thing to brush off and hide. I want to shake it off but I can’t. That quick comment which wasn’t thought twice about, is now lingering around in my mind for the next however many months.

If I could have one wish – it would be to stop comparing myself to other people. It’s one of the most dangerous habits to pick up.

It’s so hard yet at the same time- so empowering. To know that you have the courage to say ‘I’m better than this’. It’s tough to explain but that feeling of letting go of something that is just not right, it’s the most beautiful strength. I always feel so calm and content when I’m able to come to this sudden realisation… to finally be one of those people who stop complaining about something and actually fix the problem.

Although it’s a lonely world out there, I’d rather have a few really genuine ethical people in my life – compared to a whole heap of friends who are purely friends for the superficial value.

 Give me people who listen to problems and actually care to help. Who won’t hang up the phone until I sound like I’m smiling again. People who will put up with the bad jokes I make and throw an even worse joke back in my face – just so i don't feel like an idiot. Show me the absolute trust and loyalty that I share with very few but special people. Just to know that whatever happens, I’ll always have a shoulder to drench with my tears, no matter how expensive the shirt you’re wearing may be. Without somehow using me to get to the next social status in your life, but always showing me the nurturing qualities in which I provide you. Having an honest and tactful way of telling me something even when it’s an uncomfortable conversation. Tough love is a lifesaver. After all we only really ever listen to our loved ones.

I know i'm not asking for too much, as I've witnessed it before. The simplest of sayings “treat people how you want to be treated” is just so completely misunderstood by most people in this world.

"like a cigarette.
slowly pushing deadly toxins through my veins. 
i need to let go. 
suddenly i can breath again. 
without knowing my capabilities. 
all i'm certain of are my incredible instincts shaking every inch of my body. 
i no longer need your acceptance. 
i see through you and your ego. 
my desires lead me to be around genuine, humble friends who make me grow. 
not shrink- within your existence."


- euphoria

"pull my hand towards your chest, like you need it to breathe. 

look into my wide chocolate eyes, like you see the perfect wave falling into the glistening ocean. 

whisper sweet nothings softly into my left ear, like you're singing the chorus to your favourite song. 

hold me and never let me go, like you do."

"and even if it is my young, naive way of thinking...I'd like to believe that one day we will all get ourselves out of this mess, called fanaticism. Accept people as they are. Their religion, their family, their nationality, their sexuality, their views on the world. Yes they may be different to yours- but in the end we will never have one way of living. The sooner we stop having hostility towards other ways of life, the sooner the world will have a little more peace, and a little less hate."

-euphoria

"If we don't stop somewhere, if we don't accept an unhappy compromise, unhappy for both sides, if we don't learn how to unhappily coexist and contain our burned sense of injustice - if we don't learn how to do that, we end up in a doomed state."


-Amos Oz

"Forever admiring the nature of your beautiful soul, wondering if it's to come to a sudden end."

So. I moved to Sydney last year and stopped dedicating time to my beloved blog. Now that I'm all settled in I will be continuing with it all. Stay tuned...euphoria x
