Secrets

Are secrets really secrets or just things that dont come up in small talk. Perhaps if people were more open then they would be happier, people could truely be who they are, Theres so many people today who probably feel the need to disguise who they truely are to be "accepted" but if your not being yourself if it worth it?

So in the spirit of things some facts you may not know about me:

- I know i cant dance to save myself but I love going out and doing it regardless.
- I help others solve their problems because I wish someone was there to help me solve mine.
- I'm glad i was bullied when i was younger, it made me a stronger better person.
- I love to read paranormal romance books and i was introduced to them via the twilight saga, i read and loved the first three books before they were popular but id never admit to it now.
- I love scaring myself with horror films but while i can watch people get killed in horrible and gruesome ways i still maintain the scariest film ive ever seen was sixth sence.
- Im terrified of needles and manniquins
- The idea of anyone figuring me out scares me more than you can believe.
-I make a mean dark chocolate and orange cake
- My DVD's are arranged in colour order
- Since Ive started blogging ive neglected twitter.
- The person who stole my drawing in standard grade art is the reason i passed =]

Well weathered wisdom

"Under this national raincloud
I'm getting soaked to the skin
Trying to find my umbrella
But I don't know where to begin"



Sometimes it just feels like the clouds have descended upon your life and it will never get better. We may realise there's a problem and not know where to start to fix it or maybe were so wrapped up in feeling overwhelmed we don't even realise like walking in the rain and not realising your crying until your out of the rain. Maybe the problem fixes itself, the clouds descend but don't open and we don't realise how close we were to getting soaked.

"Constantly bailing out water
But still like I'm gonna sink"

Sometimes it just all get ontop of us and suddenly the waters above your knees before you even realise it was there in the first place.



That's when we get out the buckets and teacups and start bailing as fast as possible, take it one container at a time and suddenly there's only the puddle in the bottom and then you can pull the plug on your troubles, let them just trickle away.




However the rain brings good to. Having problems is common in life and they will either make you or break you. Sometimes problems being brought to light allows you to clear the air, like a thunderstorm, so you can warm your heart in the sunshine once more, sit back and enjoy the glorious weather having seen the destruction the storm can bring.
