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

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

1 Year to the Day x

It's official.. I started keeping a diary exactly 1 year ago today.. ♥

On 31st March 2010, something changed.. and I suddenly had the urge to start writing.

So I did.. every single day.. for 1 whole year.

I honestly can't believe it.

1 Year account of my life, written down, treasured.

I've had so many ups, and some downs.. but it's all there.

Coupled with my daily photos, there it is.. my life in photos & words.

I'm not done though.. I'll keep going, until maybe one day, something will change again.. and I stop.

But until then, I'll continue to record my life.

So that one day, I'll look back and smile.. at how naive I was, at the way I looked or the things I said. At all the laughs, and stupid tears, at the inside jokes, and the rollercoaster that is my life.

It's been long, and hard at times, but it has been so worth it ♥

Love Amy xxxx
