Stand Up For Who You Are!

If someone tries to bring you down, hold your head higher & smile

People get picked on & bullied for many different things. It could be something as simple as the clothes you wear or your style of hair, to the colour of your skin or the person you choose to love, whether it be a man or a woman.
I'm one of those people. However, I just think I have a flashing neon sign above my head saying "Pick On Me!" as I've no idea why people choose to bully me. I'm just trying to be myself! And that's just it! No matter what you do, how many times you colour your hair, or change your clothing style, some people will just walk right over you.
So, what do we do?
We have to learn to stand up for ourselves, because it's our right to have the freedom to live as we are. We shouldn't have to change ourselves in any sort of way, except to gain a bit of confidence & build on our self esteem.

My blog is about how I try to be me, trying to be the best I can be!

I promise you this is not a super depressing blog, because I sure as hell ain't a depressed person, though, I do have my moments, just as everyone else does.
This is where I will be 100% myself, expressing my thoughts & feelings on different matters & also my daily life.

What I hope to do here on this blog, is to put a smile on your face &, hopefully, let you know it's okay to be yourself; to be proud of who you are!

If you do read my blog & you find that you find what I say has some truth to it, or my wackiness & randomness of my true self puts a good smile on your face, please don't hesitate to comment & let me know! Putting a smile on someone's face is always the best thing! It'd make my day! :)

Well, I hope you enjoy my blog... Have a good day! :)

Easter Holidays, aka Two Weeks of Freedom!

Thank God! I'm just so tired & sick of school at this point. This is one well needed break. School is way too stressful & often with an unwelcoming atmosphere as of late - not fun!
So, for the next two weeks I plan to relax & to help mam about the place. Maybe DA & I'll meet up with A & her boyfriend for a double date thingy... That'll be good craic! I've also to do some job hunting for summer. Lots of it, I'm sure. So, I better start printing CVs!
I'm also going to be doing an art portfolio course the first week of April. It's to help kickstart organising myself to apply to colleges & ITs. It'll be nerve wracking & intimidating - there'll be students aiming for art college & who're just naturally gifted. Compared to be like that, I'm rubbish, but I've to do this for myself, so no backing down! Plus four full days of art? That HAS to be fun!

Now, I'm off to eat breakfast & organise myself for the day!

Bank Holiday Monday

I've no school today! Woo!
Yet, I feel shit today! Not so woo...

Typical, eh? The day you officially have a day of freedom & you just happen to not feel so good. That really has tendency to occur on my free days. Grrr....!

I didn't sleep well last night, tossing & turning because of a stomachache. I had planned to sleep in because of that, but a friend texted me before 9am to contact my boyfriend for her - their maths teacher organised a day of maths so they could get on top of things for the Leaving Cert (he's in the year ahead of me) - to see where he wanted to be picked up so she could bring him into school.
So, after that, I tried to get back to sleep... Does anyone notice when you really want to sleep & you get really comfy, you end up needing the toilet? This always happens to me! So I trudged across the hallway to the bathroom, before --

*Breaking News:* Mam just came into my room to tell me that my cousin got engaged yesterday! Yay! Her new fiancé is such a sweetheart! Ooh, happy times!

Ah, where was I? Oh yeah, basically I told Mam & Dad that I felt ill & I was going to sleep for a bit longer. It didn't help that my stomach had begun to really irritate me once more, but I did manage to accomplish my mission & I arose around 11am.

The plan for the rest of today is to get whatever homework & study done for tomorrow. My tummy is still bugging me so I don't know what else I'll do, maybe stream a film or something. Mam wants me to do a few things about the place, but I'm not very willing to do much at the moment... Am I ever? Yes, I am a lazy git.

Anyhow, I better go put some clothes in the dryer. Talk soon,
