flight number.

theres something about airports that stirs up many thoughts and emotions within me.
people arriving. people rushing. people tripping over when they run over newly mopped floor. people yelling at the people behind the counter. people ordering coffee. people buzzing in security. people leaving. families splitting. couples coming back together. people. everywhere.

the excitement within the walls is almost tangible. makes me want to travel, and maybe never come back. i become a different person when i'm there, and my mood can change in a split second, despite the fact that generally, i'm pretty emotionless. i never miss people when i know i'll see them again, but then there's fear that i won't, or something will happen to them, even though i know it'll be fine.

i love going to airports. they prove to me i'm a normal, feeling person.

but seriously. i'm in love with it. listen.

back on a roll. diggin.

This song summarises everything i've decided in the last two days. I can't explain how good it feels to get rid of all this stuff I don't need. Bring it on, I say! :D


(oh yeah. youtube wouldn't let me embed, dammit. so here's a picture of him ;) and a link instead)








"Welcome to the real world", she said to me

Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
That something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above

I am invincible (x3)
As long as I'm alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for

please? :D

if someone wanted to win me over with a song, this would be the way to go about it.

running.

about two minutes ago, i came to the realisation that though i feel as though i'll never fit in anywhere, i am who i am for a reason, and i should really just embrace it.
i'm not talking about the external, but the things that really matter. anyone who knows me well, knows that i'll never stop complaining about the way i look, and i have my reasons for that, but when i look past everything, and look at who i really am, i'm going to force myself to be content.

one thing i'm not is compassionate, however i make up for this in humour, because i'll try to make light of a situation in doing so.
i'm not hardworking, and i lack in motivation a lot of the time, however i am a perfectionist. 
i'm not loud, but i'm definitely not quiet.
i'm not obnoxious, but i have a decent level of confidence.
i'm a realist, not a pessimist. 
i'm artistic, not inventive.
i'm a lover, though not romantic.
i'm sarcastic, not a bitch.
i'm not a liar, but i'm not going to hurt you.
i'm a christian, not religious.
i don't fit in, but someday i will.

i've got one year left before everything i've waited for begins. the sooner i accept these things, the sooner i'll find home. i tell you what, i love knowing i was made me for a reason. most of the time.


for some reason, the word 'running' really motivates me.

lack of sleep.

if i relaxed, would i be able to sleep properly?
if i was honest with myself, would i be a happier person?
if i swap to accredited, will i regret it?
if i dropped out, would i lose contact with my friends all together?
if i was more open about my faith, would i be more persecuted, or looked up to?


when i move to sydney, will people accept me?
will i be able to cope with the level of study?
will i miss people?
will they miss me?


do i need to change myself?
do people see me as fake?
do i see myself as fake?
do i need to plan things better?


i'm going to win this, and i'm going to win it on my knees.
i need a damn good sleep. i'm not enjoying stress and fatigue.
but i'm actually very happy. promise.
