Sunday Stuffs

Hello! Just gonna share some goodies :)

Amy gets super passionate when she raps here. It's tres cool! I love it when girls rap well. And it's ACOUSTIC!! Totes legit!

I'm turning 22 on Thursday! I'm officially (in my mind) a twenty-something, so Thought Catalog is perfect for me. Here's one on 15 ways 20-somethings ruin their twenties. It's quite accurate looking :)

Always Ed. Sighs.

This gif.

Another Karmin cover. But for completely different reasons. This just touches my soul... I hope you enjoy it...

Maybe not all, but defos these two...

Tears. This song. Gets me. Right there.

To end off on a funky note :):)

Have a good week!!

two thousand and 13

So far, so good... I've really struggled to feel motivated like a usually do this time of year. Usually I can't wait to let go of the past year, because it was boring or sucky, but 2012... Man, that was my year. In fact, when the countdown was done and it was officially 2013, I cried. How embarrassing. How devastating. I didn't even know why I was crying. I just felt heavy. But, I absolutely cannot mope my way into this year or it definitely won't live up to 2012. So far it has been wonderful, but it's time to get serious. Goals & resolution kinda serious.

I've taken a while to settle with my list of goals & resolutions, but they are a dynamic part of life, growing & evolving as the year gets older, so these are just a basic skeleton.

2013 Goals:

#1: Fit comfortably into my maroon shorts.
I don't care about losing a certain amount of weight, or size, I just wanna fit into some of my old clothes from when I was in first year. I don't want to have to give it away because I love them and I never buy new substitutes because I'm determined to get into them again. This year I WILL make it happen.

#2: Read.
Read. Read. Read. My focus this year is going to so-called classics. I love exploring that section of the books store. I want to know what made them classic, so I'm going to read as many as I can this year and get my culture on.

#3: Graduate BSc(Hons) Cum Laude.
This is no easy feat, but with determination and hard work it is possible (I think). This year, Wesley is studying at UCT, so I figured I'd have more time to spend in the bib.

#4: Clear out my closet.
And hope nobody pops out holding a few skeletons. I have so much clothes that I don't wear anymore an never will wear again whether I achieve goal #1 or not. And so, by the end of the year I would like to have gotten rid of all of the excess and keep only what I wear. (and hopefully have a brand new wardrobe to boot)

Those are my basic goals.

I resolve to:

#1: keep my bedroom & flat as tidy as I possibly can.
#2: work hard to achieve my goals, including hitting the gym & bib as often as I can.
#3: be more organised.
#4: always have nice, neat nails.
#5: be a cool girlfriend, within reason. ;)
#6: look after my skin.
#7: save money & be smart with my finances.
#8: not lose earrings.

wish me luck!

Call Me Maybe?

I miss talking on the phone. I miss it wholeheartedly. Talking for hours and hours about nothing and everything. I miss just listening to the sound of your voice droning on about nothing. I miss the midnight laughter. I even miss that gross sweaty feeling from holding the phone close to my face for so long. I miss choosing the exact split second to switch ears without you noticing I'm gone, just for a split second. I miss wondering if I missed anything in the split second lost in the changing of ears. Mostly, I miss the communication, the sharing, the nothing and the everything. So, call me maybe?

Vultures

Vultures

by Tanica Maestro Theys on Sunday, 12 April 2009 at 02:07 ·

one step
another step
struggling silently along
but they stand and watch you,
watch you like vultures
waiting for one wrong step
waiting


w a i t i n g . . .


wrong step
and they pounce
devouring your pride
tearing to shreds your dignity
thinking somehow it nourishes them to see you fall to pieces
thinking


thinking?


perhaps if they looked deeper
they'd see the pain
swept across your brow
perhaps if they did not focus so much on themselves
they'd be aware that we all fall...
perhaps...


WE ALL FALL!


one step
you get up
and shake those vultures off
they are taken aback
you are stronger than before
another step
keep pressing forward
next thing you know
you are running along
looking back you see...
nothing.
the vultures are gone
they have disappeared into the distance
they are gone.


gone...
