Photographs & Memories x

Photographs can stir up all sorts of memories. From the time you went to the park with your friends, to the standing ovation on the last night of your final year show. It's amazing how one split second moment in time, captured and saved on film, can hold so much. Not just the place, or the time, but the people you were with, the clothes you wore, the things you said, or didn't say. The way you looked, your hair, your smile. All of the emotions you felt for that single moment, preserved in time. A picture tells a thousand words, they say. But it holds so much more than that. I love photography. Not just the process, but capturing memories so nobody forgets. I don't want to look back on my life and wish that I'd taken more photos, or forget a single moment that made me smile, laugh, cry with happiness, the people, the places. And more than anything, I don't want the people I love to either. So here it is. The world through my eyes. I hope you love them as much as I do. Never forget the good times. And never stop capturing them.

Free Time x

I'VE FINISHED MY EXAMS!!!! :D x

And here I am.. back home.. with all the time in the world!!

And I have no idea what to do with it all!

Having free time..
So much time.. so many things to do.. so many options.. It's tough deciding what to do with it all!
Seeing friends from back home.. watch TV, play games, play the piano, read a book, go shopping, go see a film, have a film marathon, bake something, cook something, learn to juggle (check!), go out and take photos, learn to paint, write something, go for a meal, go camping, FINALLY have a lie in!
So many things I could do.. the list is endless!

So here I am.. sitting at my piano, writing some songs and learning to play the songs I've wanted to for so long..

Because I can :)

I don't start placement for a month or so, so I have all the time in the world to do the things I haven't been able to for so long :)

BRING ON THE SUMMER! 

Love Amy xxxxxxxxxxxx

Extraordinary x

And I realised..
Looking at my friends.. at my family.. at the strangers passing by..


I am not extraordinary.. 

I'm just like everybody else in the world..
What I am is not extraordinary..
We're all human.. all living.. all normal people..
Having fun.. learning.. laughing..
Watching the world go by..
No, I am not extraordinary..

But I could do extraordinary things..

Little Confessions.. x

My little confessions...

1. I like crying, it makes me feel alive.
2. I'm obsessed with Twilight.
3. I have a constant internal monologue.
4. I wish my life had a soundtrack.
5. Buying and giving gifts to others makes me happier than receiving them, but I do love both.
6. I miss school.
7. I want to inspire someone, as much as those who have inspired me.
8. My family means everything to me, more than they could ever know.
9. I've watched the whole of Friends all the way through 8 times, and once backwards. That's not counting hundreds of individual episodes.
10. My happy place is lying in the park with my friends, the summer of 2008.
11. I love quotes, and want one day to be quoted.
12. I cried through the entire One Tree Hill finale. Now I can't watch it without crying.
13. I wish I spoke up more.
14. Sometimes I wonder how I found such great friends, and why they chose me.
15. I watched all 6 seasons of Supernatural the week before my exams, and passed every single one with good marks.
16. My favourite food is bread sauce. Sometimes I make it and just eat it out of the jug.
17. I love driving on the motorway.
18. I know that I should eat healthily, and how to, but I still don't.
19. Sometimes I have great ideas, and never do anything about them.
20. I used to want to be a German teacher. Then I discovered food, and never looked back.
21. There are no words to describe how much I love to play my piano. It's my little escape from reality.
22. I still get homesick.
23. I carry my camera everywhere. I'm obsessed with photography, and have a collection of around 100,000 photos.
24. I compulsively blow in every glass before I use it, and I don't know why.
25...

You'll Never Know Until You Try,, x

You'll never know if you can do something until you give it a go..

If you don't ask, you won't get.. and all that..

Some things just need to be given a go..

And if you fall off the horse.. just jump right back up and try again..

Remember:
There's no such thing as failure.. Only attempts at success :) x

Love Amy x
