This Is To 2011 - The Year That Disappeared x

This is to 2011..

This year has just flown by..
It's crazy x

If feels like only yesterday I was standing in the Forum with everyone..
Counting down..
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..
And Shouting..

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! x


That was it.. The beginning of 2011..
And here I am now, at the end.. writing about 2011..
The year flew by..
Where so much happened..
And yet.. went so fast..

I want to tell the world about my year..

The emotional roller coaster..
The laughs..
The tears..
The memories I made..
The things that I saw..
The people I met..
The goodbyes..
The kisses..
The stress..
The highs and the lows..

And all of it happened in the blink of an eye.

I want to tell the world my story..
But I can't.. because so much happened in so little time..
And in a few days.. I'll start talking about 2012.

Then it'll be over. 2011 will just be a memory..
A few stories between friends..
A few dozen posts on my blog..
A few hundred pages in my diary..
A few thousand pictures on my computer..
And they will all go on the shelf.. to be remembered in the future..

In 2012.

So this is to 2011. The year that just disappeared..
But meant so much x

This is to the past.. the present.. and the future.. x

Happy New Year x


Lets make next year spectacular x

Love Amy x

It Was Like We'd Never Left x

A friend said something today..

We were in the car.. talking about being home from university..
Talking about how we hadn't seen each other in over 3 months..
And how we were worried we would lose touch..

Then she said it..

She said it was strange.. but no matter how long we were apart..
When we all came home.. and saw each other again..

It was like we'd never left x


She said it and at once..
I understood exactly what she meant..
I couldn't describe it any better..

I felt warm.. And loved..
Like no measure of time could break our friendship..
How when we leave.. we always come back..
To where it all started.. to where we all started..
To the people who made us who we are.. and taught us how to live..
To the places we grew up and the people who were there to grow up right along side us x

Like she said..
It was like we'd never left x


Love Amy x

If You're Reading This..

If you're one of the few people who actually reads my blog..

This is to you..

I want to tell you how much it means to me..

To have people take the time to read my random posts..

It's almost like having a mini conversation with the world..

It may be a one way conversation.. but it's like a little escape from reality that we all need every once in a while..

I don't know who you are.. but I just wanted to say Hi to you. :)

So.. Hi :) .. x

I hope my little rants amuse you, inspire you, make you think or make you smile..

or all of the above :)

To me.. It's just something that helps get me through the day!

But it's nice to know someone's getting through it with me :)

So to you.. I want to say thank you!

For being there on the other side of that screen, 

Following the little snippets of my life.. my photos, my random thoughts, and enlightening moments..

I would recommend a blog to any of you..

It really it great :)

Love Amy xxxx

When A Plan Comes Together.. x

When a plan comes together..

And you realise..

All the worry and stress..

The time and effort..

The planning and detail..

Was all worth it.....

It's a great feeling x

Love Amy x

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When the world weighs you down..
And it feels like too much..

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When you just can't stop thinking..
And your head won't stop turning..

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When you can't stop the worry..
And you just want to sleep..

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When you can't see the light..
And it all hurts too much..

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When the silence gets louder..
And you feel all alone..

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When a secret bares down..
And it controls all your mind..

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When the stress builds up..
And you want to go home..

Keep Calm and Carry on.. ♥

When you stare at the screen..
And the motivation is gone..

Just Keep Calm and Carry on..
And know.. it'll all be ok ♥

Thank you ♥

I Found My Old Myspace.. x

This was what I found...

DON'T HIDE FROM YOUR MISTAKES..

Embrace them..x

LIVE FOR THE FUTURE..

BUT NEVER FORGET THE PAST..X

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it would be WORTH IT. x

HI I'M AMY

CAMERA FREAK..X

I have too many picture folders!.
.
Last time i checked Holding 41,475 pictures..

And about 560 videos..

And i'm known for having ALOT OF albums on myspace lol..x

I capture memories so no one forgets..x

I take pictures to capture the memories..x
Because i believe none of them should be forgotten..x
Even the bad ones..x
The best are the unexpected..x
They capture a moment in time..x
That we'll look back and laugh at when we're old..x

Realising You Were The Idiot All Along..

And it was all your fault..
And you were always the problem..
And the pain was avoidable..
And you could have done something..
And it was never their fault..
And the only person to blame was you..
And you regret everything..
And that you can change nothing..
And you were the idiot all along..

If I Only Had One Wish..

If I only had one wish, it would be..

Happiness.

Not for me though, no matter how nice that would be..
But for my friends, and family..
For the people around me.
I wish them all the happiness in the world.

I could wish for myself, of course..
But there's nothing I would love more than to see the people I love most..
Truly Happy x

In fact, in some way.. that would make me happy x
Everyone wins :)

x * That is my wish *x

Love Amy x

I Took A Breath..

I took a deep breath..

And I looked back..
On everything..
At all the things that made me who I am..
Not just the happy times..
The ones that made me smile..
That made me cry with laughter..
But on the times that changed me..
And the people who shaped me..
At the places that I stayed..
And the stories I've told..
At the memories I've made..
And on the moments that took my breath away..

I took a breath and they all flooded back..
Everything came back into focus..

I stood their.. on the sodden carpet..
Staring at the gaping hole in my ceiling..
And took a deep breath..
Thinking.. this will be one of those things..

I breathed out.. and went to bed..
With no heating.. Brill.
LOL

Muting Videos x

I like to do this thing..

Where I watch a video on YouTube..
Then I replay it..
But I mute the sound..
And instead.. I play different music over the top..
And it completely changes the video..
It changes the meaning and the atmosphere..
It brings new light to the video..
And you feel like your watching something completely new..
And experiencing something no one else has experienced before..
It's like making your own movie..

That may be strange.. and weird..
But I love doing it x

Love Amy xxxx

Regrets.. x

I once promised myself that I would never regret anything..

That I would live every day to the full and not regret that I did..
But there are some things I do regret..
And you can't change those.. once they've happened.. they've happened..
No going back..
I don't regret the big things.. most of them.. those I chose for a reason..
No, not the big things.. but the small things.. some of them at least..
If anything.. I regret not taking chances..
Not trying harder.. or believing in myself..
The whole reason I said I never wanted to regret.. was so I could live my life..
But the truth is..
Without taking any chances.. you never get anywhere..
And you never get the opportunity to really live..
To make yourself happy..
Or to make any mistakes..
And those mistakes are what teaches you how to get it right..
I have my regrets..
And I regret that.. If that makes any sense at all..
I promised myself I wouldn't.. but I did..

I'm only human after all x

Love Amy x

Losing Touch...

Losing touch with someone hurts.
Losing someone you once knew back to front.. inside & out..
It's like losing a part of yourself..
Of the person you are.. or were..
When a lot of who you are is made up of who they made you..
And then they're not around..
You lose not only them.. but everything that went with them..
The laughs, the comfort, the company, even the tears..
Everything fades away..
When all you want to do is talk to them..
To tell them about your day.. or cry on their shoulder... but you can't..
Not like before..
Losing touch hurts..
Especially when you're the only one who notices x

Love Amy x

Those Fireworks x

I remember firework night 2009 so clearly..
One moment in particular..

We were at the St Albans firework display with everyone.. 7:30pm.. just like every other year..
The same group of people.. my friends.. my second family..
All huddled up together in the freezing cold, in amongst thousands of other freezing people.. wearing our 6 layers, thick coats, gloves, scarves and woolly hats..
All staring at the sky..

Watching the Fireworks..


This moment in particular occurred just minutes before the end..
The last song ended.. and the fireworks paused for a moment..
And then it began to play.. The penultimate song of the evening..

Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla

And the fireworks started again..

And the massive crowd.. full of children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly..

Every person fell silent..

Almost in a wave.. the field of once rowdy people.. stopped talking..

And every person stood, staring at the sky..

At the lights that drifted slowly to the ground in a shower of glitter..

Beauty and Peace..

Just Incredible.

That was my best bonfire night x

Remember, Remember, the 5th of November..

Love Amy xxx

Light x

"I was alone, completely alone, alone in the darkness that was my mind. Lost and confused, and alone, completely alone. I felt heavy, just so heavy, with the weight of my thoughts weighing me down, holding me back. But then, out of that darkness, came a light, the smallest glimmer of hope, breaking though the pain and the silence, and starting to fill the emptiness with peace and music. It grew, and grew, till the darkness and clouds that once filled my head, were gone. Faded away into nothingness, leaving only light. Love, Joy, Peace, Light. I broke free from it all. The weight of the world that was once on my shoulders lifted, the shackles that once held me down fell off, the blanket of darkness hanging over me disappeared, and all that was left was the Light, and Me."

Love Amy x

To Happy Endings.. x

This is to happy endings..

And the moments that took your breath away..

To the people who made you smile..
And the places that shaped you..

To the promises that protected you..
And the words that saved you..

To the hugs that held you together..
And the time that let you grow..

This is to happy endings..
And happily ever afters x

We can strive for perfection... but in doing so.. do we lose what makes us perfect?

I Keep A Grip On Hope x

"I'll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness,

the taste of ashes, the poison I've swallowed.

I remember it all - oh, how well I remember-

the feeling of hitting the bottom.

But there's one other thing I remember,

and rememering, I keep a grip on Hope."

~ Lamentations, 3:19-21

Drag Marks in the Sand.. x

I stand there in the dark..
And watch the world go by..

I watch my life go by..
And there I am.. Dragging my heels..
Holding myself back..
Slowing myself down..

When all I want to do is run.
Catch up with everything I've missed..
Everything I've avoided..
The things I've been afraid of.

I want to stop leaving drag marks in the sand..
And leave footprints instead.
I want to make an impact, for generation after generation to see..
And know that it was me who left it there.

I want to run.. run as fast as I can..
Catch up with the world..
And turn my drag marks into memories..
Before the tide comes in x

Love Amy x

Family x

I love my family x

Overplayed Songs x

Overplaying a song ruins the magic x

The words lose meaning, the notes blur into one..  

But less known songs, they're just amazing..

Songs that you control.. that you play when you feel the time is right.. or that randomly play on shuffle..

The surprise.. the flicker of joy you feel when a great song starts to play..

One you haven't hear in a while.

You remember the words..

Harmonise with the melody..

You remember all the things you loved about it.

Memories come rushing back..

And it's like you never forgot.

That's the magic.

Love Amy x

Laugh Until It Hurts x

These Are My Footprints.. x

These are my footprints..
This is where I stand.

This is where I fell down..
And got back up again.

This is where I've been..
Where I am..
And where I hope to be.

These are the people I've known..
The places I've been..
The things I've seen.

This is who I was
Who I am..
And who I've always been.

This is my life..
These are my memories..

These are my footprints.

I Went RUNNING!! :O x

Today.. I got up EARLY..


AND WENT FOR A RUN!!  :D

Two things I never thought I would do! Lol x

My First Run.. and I did a total of..
3.22 Miles! 
I'm so proud!

:) It was nice running through the woods :)

But I was lobster pink when I got back to the villa..
SO, I think running around Potters Bar would be too embarrassing..
Shame.. I actually really enjoyed it :) x
No matter how tired & sweaty I was after! x

Slept well after that I'll tell you :):) lol x

My Best Present Ever x

My best present ever..
Most wouldn't consider an amazing present..
It wouldn't mean anything to anyone else..
But to me.. It meant everything.

My best present ever..
Was my very fist door key.

Don't get me wrong.. It wasn't my most amazing present or my sentimental presents.. But the one the stands out the most to me. The first important present.. To me x

I got it for Christmas, 2004.
It was my smallest present..
Wrapped in pink paper..
At the bottom of my stocking..

I unwrapped it..
With the same joy and appreciation that I opened all the presents with..
I loved it.

It was purple with pink patterns over it..
The key to the front door..
My key.

It wasn't just a key to me..
It was so much more..
It was freedom.. And trust..
It was a key to my independence..
It was an end to all the days I sat on the doorstep locked out..

My best present ever..
A key.

Who would have thought xxxx

Sometimes, It's the little things that mean the most x

Today I Turned 19.. x

Today.. I turned 19 x

It's a strange age..
You're not a child any more..
But you're not quite an adult yet.

It's the last teenage year..
But it's not a big birthday..
Like 16, 18 or 21 x

Today I turned 19..

And everyone ignored me.. all day..

On purpose..

Because they'd planned a big birthday surprise for me :)

They filled my tent with Balloons.. 

There were.. Flour Fights.. Donuts..
17 Pizzas.. Giraffe Pinyate.. Kayaking..
Pub Trip.. Decorations.. Banners..
A Card.. Sweets.. Cake..
& So Much More!

It was awesome :) Thank you x
19 ey..
I'm growing up x

Love Amy x

Stories x

Stories,

"We all spend our life telling them.. about this.. about that.. about people, But some... some are so good we wish they'd never end... They are so gripping, we would go without sleep to see a little bit more. Some stories bring us laughter, sometimes bring us tears.. But isn't that what a great story does.. makes you feel? Stories that are so powerful, they really are with us forever......"

~ Dustin Hoffman

Discovering A New Artist x

It's awesome :) x

Finding an amazing unknown artist for yourself..

Discovering their talent.. hearing new songs.. a new sound..

All by yourself..

It's yours, just yours for a while..

You listened.. decoded the lyrics.. felt the beat.. followed the melody..

You heard a new song.. and loved it..

And instantly you want to hear every single song they've written..

Because you just don't want the excitement to end.. x

It's awesome :) x

I Climbed A Mountain.. And Didn't Die! x

I Climbed Mount Snowdon!

I actually climbed a mountain!

Not any mountain.. the highest mountain in England & Wales.. 1085m !

And I didn't die!

People who know me well.. will know how unbelievable unfit I am.. it's not even funny!
It was one of the hardest things I've ever done..
And I really did find it so difficult..
And It wasn't pretty!

I returned Sunburnt (not even joking.. I look like a stripy lobster!)
Achy, Hot and Tired..
But.. I didn't give up!
I climbed all the way up.. and all the way down..
And I couldn't be more proud of myself!

The view was incredible.. blue skies.. sunshine.. and so worth it x

Love Amy x

So Yeah, Hey x

Hey World :) ,

I haven't actually talked on there in a while..
not really.
I've rambled on about things that popped into my head..
or things that I noticed during my day.. my life.
But It's been a while since I've talked normally..]
Like a real person in every day life..
Not about music or emotions or the weather..
But to you..
Whoever is bored enough to actually read this!

So, Hello :)
How are you?
Wubu2?
Nm? Kl.........

Ok, enough of robot talk
I just wanted to break out of the one way conversation..
I want to know about other people..
Your day.. your week.. what made you smile today :)
And I'm sure other people don't want to know about mine!
So, I apologise for the random posts about stuff you don't care about!

Anyhoo, I'm going to watch the Last Harry Potter soon.. :)
So, Byeeeeee!!

Laughter..x

God created laughter to counteract all the sadness in the world..

Laughter is infectious.. it spreads from person to person, creating a chain of happiness x

Laughter is the best medicine .. fighting against low hopes and sad situations x

Laughter cleanses the soul.. and eases the mind x

Laugh Out Loud! & let everyone know..

You're Happy! :')

Laugh x
..And you'll instantly feel better x

The Moment I Fell in Love With Music x

It was at that moment.. on that day.. during one show.. listening to one song.. that I truly fell in love with music x

And I've never looked back.

This year.. I finally get to see them.. live.. and I couldn't be happier x

Love Amy x

Inspiring Someone x

Using what you have, who you are, what you say..
To influence someone's life.
It's heart warming.

The moment you see that light go on..
And they create something great..
Because of you..
Because of something you said, or did..
It makes you feel.. valuable.

Inspiration.. The trigger for greatness x

Love Amy x

Vulnerability.. x

Everyone has a vulnerability.

Some admit it, some don't..

But we all have one.. at least one..

The thing that knocks you down..
And holds you back..

When your guards are down..
And you're susceptible..
To injury.. Both emotional & physical..

Being vulnerable is scary.

When the world can see behind the defences..
The real you..
You're exposed.

Your vulnerability..
The chink in your armour..
Going out on a limb..

Your weakness.

Love Amy x

HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY MUM! :) x

Forgive & Forget...

Forgive And Forget..

It's a lot easier said than done..

Forgiveness is hard.

And we never really Forget..

Not really.

Try as we may..
We don't Forgive and Forget
Not as much as we might say.. or wish..

But if you could..
Really Forgive someone.. Truly Forget..

Forgive + Forget = Freedom

Love Amy x

What A Day x

What a day to be alive..

What a day to realise, I'm not dead.

What a day to save a dime..

What a day to die trying.

Attempting Teaching..

So I've been on a teaching placement at my old school.. Chancellor's.. for a week & 1/2 now..

And I'm actually loving it!

I didn't think I would..
I really didn't..
I've always said I'd never want to teach at secondary school..
But actually trying it..
Getting to work with the kids..
When you tell them something.. and you see that light go on..
It's brilliant :) x

I'm working in the Food Department..
Of course..

And being on the other side of the desk..
It's so strange..
But at the same time.. eye opening..
And so much fun!

I've planned lessons..
And run practicals solo..
I've even taught by my self and everything!

Yeah there are troublesome kids..
Wouldn't be a school if there weren't!..
But some of them are just awesome..

Asking questions..
And saying thank you for helping them..
Smiling and laughing all the time..

They call me Miss!!
Miss Bekooy.. LOL..
Bless their souls..
And look up to me :)

I never wanted to teach older kids..
But after this placement..
It just might have changed my mind x

Love Amy x

Dear World..

Dear World,

                      You're probably wondering why I'm writing this..
Why I write anything in fact..
Why I say the things I say.. Do the things I do.. Think the way I think..
The fact is.. I don't know..
I wish I did.. but I don't..
The only thing I know is that one day.. everything changed..
And I started thinking differently..
And from then on.. I've changed..
I started writing.. a diary.. a blog.. post it notes.. music..
Making videos.. taking more photos..
I even tried my hand at drawing.. which was a fail..
But the point is.. I tried..
To make an impact on someone's life..
To inspire people..
To capture memories..
To capture some kind of memory of myself..
Who I am.. Who I was..
I don't know why..
I guess I just want to remember..
How happy I was..
What I was like..
What my life was like..
My friends and family..
The people and places..
That I love so much..
The laughs..
The fact is..
Life is too short..
And the world is too big..
Memories will come and go..
But footprints remain..
And I guess I'm just trying to leave my footprint on this world..
In any way that I can..
No matter how small it may be x

Love Amy x

Falling Asleep On The Sofa x

There you are.. watching tv.. as you do.

All comfy and what not on one of the most comfortable things ever invented by man.

Yes.. The Sofa x

You suddenly get comfortable.. and there's no going back.

As the tv talks you in unconsciousness.. it's too late..

You're asleep x

It's a bitter sweet affair,

For one, you're now relaxed, getting your rest..

But on the other hand..
You're now weak.. And can't fight back.
Left to the mercy of your peers..
Brill..

You've left yourself open to;
Embarrassing photos..
Comments from onlookers..
Sleep talking.. to everyone..

And.. that awful, humiliating, confusing moment..
When you wake up at 5am.. fully dressed.. hair a mess.. tv on.. with the lights full beam..
And have to drag your half asleep sorry butt upstairs to bed.

The sofa.

Your best friend.. and your worst enemy x

Love Amy x

I Love Who You've Become x

I love you..

With all my heart x

I love the person you've turned out to be.

I love the things you believe in.

And the choices you make.. or don't make.

I love the things you say.. the way you say them.

With no doubt or malice at all.

I love the person you've become.

I love how confident you seem.

How kind and genuine you are.

I love the little things you do.

I love your passion and strength.

And how you you never give up.

I love what an amazing friend you are.

And have always been.

To not only me.. but every single person you know.

I love who you are.
I love who you've been.
And I love who you've chosen to be. x

I Love You.
I always will.
You're the best friend a person could ask for xx

That is all.

Love Amy x

A Smile :) x

There's something infectious about a smile :)

You turn and see someone looking your way, or pass them on the street..
And you smile at them :) x
A stranger.. and yet..
Most of the time.. out of nothing short of instinct..
They smile back :)

It really is magic x

It makes people feel good..
Lifts their spirits..
Brightens their day :) x

It takes 43 muscles to frown..
But it only takes 17 to smile :):)

Smiling is easy.. :) effortless.. :) natural... :)
And yet it has the biggest impact :)

Next time you pass someone on the street, in the corridor..
or catch someone's eye across a room or along a road..

Just smile :)

You'll be amazed the effect it has on people :)

Love Amy xxxx

:D x
