For Happiness' Sake x

Some people spend their whole life searching for an absolute..
For that one thing they were destined to be,
That one thing they are meant to do or say,
That one thing that makes them complete.

For me, all I've ever wanted is to be happy..
Whether that be because of love,
For a boy, for my job, for my friends, for my family,
Or through adventure, creativity and hope..

I don't know what the future holds..

But for the first time I can honestly say.. I Am Happy!

I'm the happiest I've ever been..
Everyday I wake up with a smile on my face,
knowing I have so much to look forward to,
And so much to be happy for..

I honestly can't wait to see what the future holds :)
I'll let you know when I do x

 Love Amy x

This is to me, saying it to their face, before it was too late :) and living happily ever after xxx

Times Like This x

I live for times like this.. when all you can do is smile :) x
When you're with the people you love the most x
Just having a great time x
Dancing and singing your heart out x
You're only young once..
Enjoy the moments that make you smile, make your heart race.. the moments you hope you won't forget for a long time x
With friends and family you love so much, and know love you back x
Times like this don't come around too often.. so when they do..
Just smile for the camera..
& enjoy every.. single.. second :) x

Love Amy xxxx

Random Musing x

The Random Musing of a Troubled Mind
One by one they all fall down
The silent echoes of what might have been
Unrequited desires and misjudged dreams
Forgettable to the point of non-existence
New hopes found through ageing fears
A changing outlook on everyday life
The looked up to and the looked down on
Hidden beneath overpowering shadows

Amy x

Happiness x

Happiness is not a destination. It's a mood.


It's not permanent.


It comes and goes, and if more people thought that way, maybe people would find happiness more often x


Amy x

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. 

When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". 

They told me I didn't understand the assignment.

I told them they didn't understand life." 

— John Lennon

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

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
