You're Losing Your Memory.. Now..

Call all your friends

Tell them I’m never coming back

‘Cause this is the end

Pretend that you want it, don’t react

The damage is done

The police are coming too slow now

I would have died

I would have loved you all my life

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

Where have you gone?

The beach is so cold in winter here

And where have I gone?

I wake in Montague with you near

Remember the day

‘Cause this is what dreams should always be

I just want to stay

I just want to keep this dream in me

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory

Wake up, it’s time, little girl, wake up

All the best of what we’ve done is yet to come

Wake up, it’s time, little girl, wake up

Just remember who I am in the morning

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory now

You’re losing your memory...

<3

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

Last Year..x

Looking back over this past year, at my diary, at the photos and the blog posts, 

it made me realise something..

Life was so much easier last year. 

Yes, there were A levels and stuff, but nothing compared to now.
I look back, and remember all the laughs we had, the great days out and nights in, with friends who cared so much. The holidays we took, with sun and smiles, the music and movies. How carefree we were.
No assignments, long journeys or moving, less exams and presentations, less drama, less stress.

Life has changed so much. 

But the best things in life don't come easy.. with the tough times, comes so much happiness.. New friends, days out, endless parties, private jokes, evenings in, so many laughs, independence, and experiences I never dreamed I'd have.

Life is different now, in fact, it's constantly changing.

So, make the most of now x

April Fools Day :) x

Can't believe it's been a year since this prank :) x

Happy April Fools Day :)

xxxxx Love Amy xxxxx

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

Finding Meaning x

I want to do something that means something to somebody..

Write something, capture something, say something, do something, that's meaningful..

That speaks to someone, and makes a significant impact on their life..

I want to inspire someone to be great, and have them inspire others..

I want to find meaning..
In the meaningless.. in the meaningful..
In words and music, in the world around me ..
I want to find meaning..
And help others find it too..

Amy x
