perfection is a lie.

When i walk in to a situation i try my best, i give it my all... thats the best i can do.... but for some people that isn't good enough. Trying to impress each and every person i meet is a task impossible, because no matter who i am or what i do.. there will always be someone that doesn't like what i'm doing or saying. 
When a teacher demands the right answer, a coach demands perfection, the government demands a vote or a friend demands support, you are throwing yourself in to a pool of judgment, because the way you reply will be judged by others and not matter what you think is right, may be wrong to others.

“I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.”

"Shoes are like friends, you can never have toooooo many!"

"if you have nice feet, wear nice shoes! If you don't have nice feet, wear nice shoes!"

what to do with wooden pallets?

i found a whole big stack of FREE wooden pallets in a car park not too far from my house. So, I decided to bring them home, to attempt at transforming them in to some cool piece of furniture for my room. Recently i have been wanting a new bed, seeing as i have had the one i am currently using for around 5 years... i just need something different. I didn't want to have to spend massive amounts of money on a bed, that i would get sick of in another 5 years... So i did some research as to what you could use the wooden pallets for and surely enough people have made beds out of them....

These beds are so unique, quirky and plain at the same time! i love the whole recycled/reused look about them and the fact that if i painted the pallets white, no matter how many times i change the theme of my room, or my quilt cover it will still fit in, perfectly!

... and here are just some cute pictures of wooden pallet beds i found on the internet....
If all goes to plan, this will be one cheap and easily made bed!

only hope - mandy moore

No matter how angry or upset you may be, there is always someone out there looking forward to seeing your smile. So don't take your anger out on other people, just be the happy person you truly are because seeing someone upset is like seeing a year without rain, dry and painful. 

"There's a song that's inside of my soul. 
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again 
I'm awake in the infinite cold. 
But you sing to me over and over and over again. 

So, I lay my head back down. 
And I lift my hands and pray 
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours 
I know now you're my only hope. 

Sing to me the song of the stars. 
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again. 
When it feels like my dreams are so far 
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again. 

So I lay my head back down. 
And I lift my hands and pray 
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours 
I know now, you're my only hope. 

I give you my destiny. 
I'm giving you all of me. 
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am 
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back. 

So I lay my head back down. 
And I lift my hands and pray 
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours 
I pray, to be only yours 
I know now you're my only hope."

bad timing?

Stephen King once wrote: "Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again." Eventually there comes a time for all of us. whether it be to cry, to laugh, to sing or to dance, but the time is there to enjoy. 

Are we taking things in life for granted? 

Are we so sure that every morning we will wake up to the same happy faces and come home to those familiar smiles, that cupboard full of food and that house full of wonderful memories? people don't see the other six sides of the dice. the other six sides your life might land on. 

and like a board game... situations change, the things around you change, but so do many things and you just have to live your life with or without the things that bring you down - because you never know, one day your whole world might turn upside down and you'll regret wasting your time doing the things that don't count. "live a life worthing of the calling you have received"

dont live to please others, live to please your self. 

"it's up to you."

"If you could go back and change just one thing about your life, would you? and if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? or break the heart of another? would you choose an entirely different path? or would you change just one thing? just one moment. one moment that you always wanted back.."


Your journey may be a trip to the park or realising that everything you once believed in was a lie. Your journey may be travelling or just simply thinking.  
But a journey doesn't have to be physical, and you don't have to find the final destination. Life is a journey. Life is your journey. 
You are born, with a purpose. You are born with feelings and emotions and even though your final destination is planned out... your journey is up to you. the outcome of your life is up to you, the decIsions and paths you take and make are all up to you and whether you choose to go down Dreaming Avenue or Reality Lane eventually life will grab you by the hand, or tap you on the shoulder and it will be over in a flash. Everything you decided, the impact you made, will be erased, but left in the minds of those who knew you. You become the name with no face, the ink smudge on a sympathy card. You become the name on a tombstone and the once a year memory. But what comes after that?....
