People Don't Change x

Trying to change someone is like telling a leopard to change its spots.. they can't.

They may want to, and try.. but it's just not that easy x

You can paint over a picture, but that doesn't change the fact the picture's still there x

Sometimes we'd like to change.. something about ourselves.. our personality.. or how we look..
But you can't change who someone is, what makes them who they are.. x

You can change the clothes you wear, the things you say, the things you do, the make-up you choose.. but that does't change the person underneath..

That's not saying people should stop trying.. they just shouldn't forget who they are.. or try to be someone they're not

Everyone's unique.. don't forget that x

Someone Else's World x

What is it about tv programs that captures your imagination?

The story lines that draw you in and make it almost impossible to turn off.
Every week, you tune in to those programs you just can't miss..
Some, you revolve your life around, arranging things to fit around it.
They evoke emotions, make us empathise, fascinate us and hook us in.

The story lines that make us sit on the edge of our seat, cry our eyes out or laugh our heads off.. Make us believe in true love, and magic, or make our hearts skip a beat..

All it really is is a scripted sketch, with the sole purpose of entertaining you, but for some reason, they become so much more to some people, a part of us..
Find out what a person watches, and you unearth a part of who they are.. what they like, dislike, how they think, what entertains them.. If they're a laugher, a crier, how they see the world, and so much more.

It's only a tv show.. Half an hour maybe..
But to some people, that's the moment they look forward to the most. The moment they can forget all the troubles, stress and angst going on in their life, and just, for 42 minutes a week, let it all go.. And be part of someone else's world.. Where, when things get hard, you can simply change the channel..

Television may just be another form of media.. but for some, it's so much more.. x

How long would it take?... x

How long would it take?

If you went missing right now.. if you collapsed in your room, or even worse.. how long would it take before someone noticed?

If the door was locked and the curtains closed.. at what point would someone be worried enough to call the police? Break down the door? How long would it take? .. Too long?

If someone knocked on your door, and you didn't answer, would they just assume you weren't in, that you were sleeping or just didn't want to talk. No one would know, no one would help.

They might text or try to ring, but people screen calls all the time. You can go days without seeing people, talking to people, it's not unheard of.

You would just lie there, or disappear, and no one would have any idea.

I wonder just how long it would take before people got worried, when they don't just say it's strange, when would they take action? Hours? Days? Weeks even?

What would people miss about you? What would tip people off? Where should you be? When? Who would you see? Who would see you? Would they find it strange if you weren't there?

Why would anyone comment on a student skipping lectures? It happens all the time.. skip a few parties.. pop home for the weekend.. shut in their room doing assignments.

The truth is, no matter how much everyone may say they would notice straight away.. that's a lie, because most wouldn't.

Just think, how long has it been since you last saw some of your friends, do you panic when you don't see them for a day or 2?

It's a scary thought, but the truth is, we all live in our own little worlds.. and it's easy to forget about those around you.

So go out, and make an impact on those around you, be unforgettable, be incredible, become a part of someone's life, so they can't imagine life without you there beside them.

..And next time they don't answer the phone, or reply when you knock.. think for a second..

..what if it was you... x

Amy x

What's the point? x

Why keep a diary?
Why take a photo?
Why talk about the old days?

To remember a moment that went by so fleetingly?

So you never forget how happy you were?

To try and make sense of your life?

When every second is just that, a second, how do we hold on to it?

If it just slips away, and a new one begins, just like the one before. Over and over again.

We have to cling on to those special moments at every chance we get. Preserve them.

Because one day we'll look back, and what will we find? Nothing but a few hazy memories.

So don't look back with regrets. Take photos, write down your thoughts, live your life.

It'll be so worth it in the long run. Trust me.

The water is rushing in, I feel it on my skin

Our boat is sinking now

I wake up, I grab my things

As the waves keep Rollin’ in

I ask myself

“Oh what’s the point?”

“What’s the point of it all?”

Amy x

Don't..x

Don't wake up in the morning with regrets

Don't feel alone

Don't take anything for granted

Don't worry about the little things

Don't forget the good times

Don't hide the tears

Don't forget to love

Don't live in fear

Don't hide your smile

Don't waste your time

Don't block out the world

Don't act as if it never happened

Don't forget to dream

Don't lose hope

Don't forget to laugh

Don't change who you are

Don't ignore your heart

Don't forget to breathe

Don't lose your faith

Don't stop believing

Don't feel the pressure

Don't ignore inspiration

Don't forget to watch the stars

Don't be sad

Don't forget to live your life

Don't .. Just .. Don't xx

Love Amy xxxxxx

True Friends - My Big Surprise x

True friends are the people you can always go to. They can make your worst days the best and they know you better then anyone. You jam in the car and sing karaoke for hours & you almost die but laugh anyway.

You accept and love each other for who they are. x

So this weekend, I had the biggest surprise of my life.

I was sitting in my room with Liv, as usual, when someone knocked on the door & I shouted "Yepp" as I normally do. Then, the door opened, and there in the doorway was Emma.... OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! XD XD XD

I sat there blankly for a second, before a look of shock and surprise descended on my face. (Apparently this look was highly amusing to Liv, Jo & Emma lol). Then, like the cry baby I am, I lifted my hands to cover my face, and the tears started (LOL) x

I have never been so surprised in my life.. I was actually in shock, to seeEmma standing there, after being upset i wouldn't see her before she left to go to Australia for 2.5 months. And there she was.. EEEEEEEEK!! :D x

Turns out, Liv & Jo, the amazing flatmates that they are, had seen how homesick I was, missing my friends back home, and had come up with a cunning plan to get Emma up here for a surprise visit, and had been for weeks! x

Via Facebook messages & texts, they had arranged everything, all without me having a single clue! Apparently everyone knew but me!

We then enjoyed the days :) Laughs, Talks, Food, Strippers, Music & YouTube;) x

I was so happy; I still am! To see Emma, to have her visit before she left. It meant the world to me.. and I just want to thank them all, for an amazing weekend I won't forget :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Love (a very happy) Amy :D xxxxxx

Lambing!! x

I've just been Lambing!!
My first time lambing.. and it was Amazing!
I delivered twin lambs! All by myself!

I went with Jo for a 4hr shift (which turned into nearly 6hrs!) to the Harper lambing unit, where we started our shift at 8pm.
Looking after the sheep,  feeding and weighing them (I bottle fed a runt lamb!), held them and generally watching and helping out.
Sadly, we had a few tragedies :(
But overall, it was so good! x

A really great experience, that I won't forget :) x

Amy xxxx

I Hope... x

Wow, it's been a very long time since my last blog! And so much has happened!! x

I'm now at uni, Harper Adams University College, Shropshire :) And it's amazing here x

I've made new friends, Liv especially :) .. and kept old ones strong xxxx

It's funny how much your life can change in just a few months..x

So why did I decide to start writing again? .. well I watched a video, and heard a song, which filled me with so much hope, that I just had to write about it x

Watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyVUJsJgkJs

So I decided to write my own hope notes, and get my friends and family to as well... because everyone needs hope in their life. It's inspiring x

And So...

I hope that one day I'll see the world, and the world will see me.

I hope there will always be music in my life.

I hope one day I'll stop worrying, and just live my life.

I hope for true happiness

I hope my friends know how much they mean to me.

I hope that in the future I remember all the times I have been happy... and the people who made me feel that way.

I hope for friends like this forever.

I hope that me and you stay friends till we are old and grey, As I have never connected with someone so quickly and known someone so genuinely nice!! x

I hope I won't get saggy with age!

I hope everyone is happy. Happiness makes the world go around xx

I hope never to put back on all the weight i have lost!

I hope for happiness

I hope Amy will always have good friends around her.

I hope my Mum knows, that no matter how far away, I'm watching over her, and I love her xxx

I hope to have a family x

I hope you're safe x

I hope to dance with my dad at my wedding xx

I hope... to live a long and happy life with my family, to keep the friends I have, and to continue to make new ones in the future.

I hope i never forget... x

I hope to travel.

I hope i have a happy life, and you guys are in it with me till the very end when we're all wrinkly and grey! :D xxx

I hope.. that when I'm old and grey, you'll be there to hold my hand when i listen to that song that makes us cry x I love you x

I hope God, + his angels watches you always. And just in case he's busy, I'm there instead. x

I hope to inspire someone, and to be inspired x

I hope to dance with my dad at my Wedding x

We all can use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything is gonna be okay and that there’s gonna be someone there to help make sure of that. - Haley James Scott.

Sometimes all we need is something to hope for, and the rest just falls into place xxxx

Until next time x
Love Amy xxxx
