The real you.

Why do we watch 'reality' television shows, when the real, reality is far more (for lack of a better word) interesting? There are people out there with dramatic diseases and health problems - mysteries of nature, who can't live a normal life. Yet, we watch people who have normal lives and exaggerate on television in usually ridicoulus ways.

Everyday, people do amazing things and beat the odds. These are the people that deserve to be seen and heard on television.

I also understand that 'normal' people want to be intersting and have their '15 minutes of fame' and thats fine. I'm just repeating the cliche phrase: 'Be yourself!' I really don't think that a lot of reality television stars act like themselves, but I do understand the adrenalin, as you might say, that comes from making your mark. I can imagine that anyone would want to be heard for one reason or another, but I'm just saying that I favour those who stay true and show off for something I'd consider worthwhile. Saying that though, by worthwhile I mean anything that represeant who you are, but also paying respect to others and considering others feelings.

Here are a few stories from news shows, so that you can see what I mean:

I will also make a post telling you what I think about these people and their lives,

I hope that each and every one of you out there appreciates just how lucky you are, remember to be yourself, but give a thought to those who struggle with that everyday,

Friends

Non generic friends

I have never been a huge fan of generic friends. By this I mean having heaps of friends that you just hang with, but don't really know. I prefer to have close friends that resemble a part of me. I love having positive people around me that I can relate to and who have a good outlook on life. Who wouldn't?

Throughout my life I haven't known too many people like this and I have just enjoyed being alone and discovering myself through my writing. To this day I still do that and will continue to do so, but now I know that there are more 'true friends' out there waiting for me, rather than generic ones. The generic ones have their own loves and lives to worry about. I care about my friends, but I hate to admit that they aren't everything to me either.

Those few 'true friends' are worth holding onto and giving them my all. Just the little things like being encouraging, really getting to know them, trying something new for/with them and showing all of your kindness and thoughts about them when it comes to their birthdays, Christmas and moments in their life that are important to them - regardless on whether or not its important to me.

I believe I have made a few true friends lately, thank you universe!

Love your children.

Obviously I am passionate about childhood. I think they are the best years of life, forget the teens, when you're a kid you don't have any problems.

One thing that bugs me with a lot of parents is that they deprive their children. Trust me on this, this has nothing to do with money... There are plenty of things that you can do with a child to make these prime years worthwhile - spending time with them is a start.

The amount of times that I have heard parents complain about how dirty or energetic their child is, I roll my eyes. Hey don't get me wrong. I know those things can be frustrating sometimes, but I often look at kids or even animals and think, wow, you're not at this age long enough. I don't get to appreciate you enough.

Appreciate what you've got, because if you don't, no one else will!

Here are some soothing sounds that just cheered me up.

Its all okay.

I have been through a lot in my life and I can understand how hard it is - always a roller-coaster.  Sometimes we have so many twists and turns and we feel sick, other times the coaster is straight and perhaps a little boring, then other times the coaster is going at the perfect pace, but it can always change around the next bend.

Then again it could continue to be going at the perfect pace for the rest of your life!

Now I don't like to talk in cliché, technological terms, (roller coasters...) so I always imagine myself in nature. Walking along a beach, a creek, the desert - whichever I feel like witnessing at a certain point in my life helps me picture the journey, but life is forever a journey.

I have even made my own meditations to pick myself up, using nature as guidance. I have a morning, night and nervous meditation media - with myself speaking too!

To be perfectly honest I have just had a bit of a down time in my life and I am struggling to pick myself back up. If I stop and think about it, it makes it worse, so I just keep going. Those of you who know me, will understand my physical capabilities and I have my limits, as does everyone. But if I keep telling myself that its all okay - it will be.

Crying helps too,

It's all okay,

Knowing yourself

I think that everyone at one point or another loses themselves. They don't know who they are and from personal experience it can be hard to find the way back. I know that this is true for me, because I always find my way back, but I'm sure some people don't.

Now that I am going to uni, (I'm doing zoology by the way...) I have to be someone else, someone I wouldn't normally want to be  - a science-minded logical thinker. But to be a wise person, a good writer, live, you have to do the things that scare you. And becoming someone else does that for me.

I always knew myself, I knew what I wanted, I just didn't know how to get there. I was often told that I couldn't do the greatest things I wanted to do - and those of you who know me will know why... - but I figured out that I can do whatever the b****y H**l I want!

I know myself even better now and I know that those who care about me and those that are looking down on me, would be proud.

Knowing yourself is a completely selfish act, but that's okay.

Uninspiring people.

*Miley Cyrus
*Bindi Irwin

So as I have said in previous posts, I don't like to hate on people, but there will always be those, that bug me something shocking and these two ladies are prime examples. I think that I have mentioned this on facebook, but the reason why I am not so keen on these people, I think, is because they try too hard to be someone they just aren't - such as their fathers. There is also much more about uninspiring people that just gets to me.

I also believe that they are very smart and use this to their advantage - they are in no way ignorant or stupid. These girls have common sense and perhaps its their 'I don't give a s**t' (about being in the media,) attitude that irks me as well.

My main problem with Miley is that I always believed she thought that she was better than everyone, including her co-stars, siblings and general fans.

My main problem with Bindi is that she is a bit of a 'know it all.' The thing about working with animals is that you don't have to dumb the facts about them down to get people to understand. I just think that she is always over-the-top about protecting animals. It should be about the passion - not the need to show off.

How can one be inspiring if one copies another?

Now, many people disagreed with me on this 'facebook post' so I am writing here to make myself heard and not piss people and their news feeds off. Even as these two ladies have grown, I have always been suspicious of them and I get this with a lot of people on the first impression. I hate to pick on these two people, but every time I see them in the media I have to switch off.

I can't say with absolute knowing what it is about some people that makes my blood boil, but it is something I dislike about myself. There are a lot of uninspiring people out there for me and some of them, I am quite close to, but I have learnt to shut my mouth and let them be, that and I am very feelings orientated - I wouldn't hurt anyone deliberately - except perhaps in this post because these people are famous and I will most likely never see them face to face... hopefully..

But these things have just got to be said sometimes,

A little ashamed,

Selflessness - the lonely kind

There comes times in our lives when I get lonely and all I want is some company. Surely this can't be so hard to see? (considering I text and facebook this also...) Now, I am a strong person, but I always seem to be the friend who would drop everything to do something for someone. There seems though, to be an opposite reaction for just about everyone else I know.

Everyone has their own problems and I completely understand that, but whatever happened to a little selflessness? No matter how busy I am, or how upset or angry I am, I would still go out of my way, shove my emotions aside to help someone or do something for someone else. In fact it makes me feel better, and I pride myself on that, but I just don't get why no one else can understand that?

Listen up!

Stay tuned for a new type of blog post!

As I have been at Uni, I really don't have a lot of downtime with nature to write about my passions on here, so I am adding some new posts - reviews about books, movies, television shows and books to movies. Most of these reviews will be on media I have already seen or read, or both, because I am very busy, but I do want to continue to express myself and telling you what I think about these media types as I grow - I think - will enlightening not only you, but me. I just want to see how my thought pan out on different topics, so keep reading!

p.s I will still be posting as much as I can of the usual stuff!

Having it easy.

Life is a learning curve, everyone knows that. The people we think have easy lives in our eyes, only seem to because they don't seem to care, but I think that sometimes they're the ones that care the most, they are just trying to hide how much they feel, how weak they are. Feelings aren't weaknesses and I don't care who says otherwise. I know that a lot of men seem like they are taking the easy way because they act tough and unresponsive, but it isn't just men and none of us are taking it easy. No one gets all of the right breaks. Those that seem to, work hard to get there and working hard doesn't mean hurting others to get what or where you want.

I have a friend who I believe is just like this. This person is always carefree and happy, but on a few occasions has shown nostalgia and hope - feelings this person wouldn't dare to show (for fear of caring I assume) in everyday life.

To many, life isn't serious and to almost the rest, life isn't a game, but we need a happy medium. We need to show our feelings and tell the people we admire, just that. We need to show how hard we try - even if it feels like we aren't succeeding, at least we are learning and isn't that what life's about?

Feeling down? Some hearts do!

Some hearts like mine get all the right breaks, have all the stars on their side and just get lucky some times!

Start a fight!

Many people say that it is healthy to have fights, stress a little bit and get angry - and I happen to agree. I am a very easy going person by nature and it takes a lot for me to lash out directly at someone. When someone doesn't listen to me (repetitively) it really irks me. I mean there is a difference between hearing the words (or reading the writing) and actually listening and taking in what someone is communicating. Now I wouldn't say that I am the great communicator, but come on, when you hear the same thing over and over, can't you understand?

Now, I know that the number one rule in society is that everyone only cares about themselves. I don't know one truly selfless person (Which is relieving, because if everyone were selfless it'd just be boring...) But my problem here is all about courage, standing up for yourself and maybe even causing a fight to make yourself heard - sometimes its the only way to get people to listen. We may bitch and gossip, but isn't that what the target wants? To be heard? Isn't that what we all want?
