BEAUTIFUL, DANGEROUS


Okay, the music video is risqué. But Slash's 'Beautiful Dangerous' is one of my vocal goals for the year. I want to branch off into more rock stuff, i've really got to explore music more. It's time i move off from singing Paramore. It's very expected of me, but i don't want to be generalised like that.
Also, i need to start song writing again, like, actually write down the lyrics and melodies i create. Jamming on my guitar tonight was fun.

streams and brooks

what a beautiful and traditional diary. hm, next time i'm in glebe i'm definitely going to go crazy and buy billions of leather bound journals.
listening to brooke fraser helps me dream of spring and summer. it helps me look affectionally of the upside of this hot season. circumstances around me, however, leave me longing for the cold. where hugs are more welcoming and intimacy is exchanged for warmth.

Steve McCurry

Steve McCurry is my favourite photojournalist of late. His blog in itself is inspiring and reiterates just how lucky the developed world has it compared to the struggles of those who are living in poor conditions, whose lives are threatened due to civil conflict and aren't able to access an excellent education we do.

Additionally, i was watching comedian Louis C.K. the other night, and he had a joke on how "white people have white people problems". Being that we, citizens of the developed world usually make up our own problems despite of our amazing lives. I've graduated high school, but i don't have a boyfriend. I go to McDonald's for food, but I've had to wait 5 minutes in queue. Tumblr is down, i have nothing else to do with my life.

I've really learnt to put everything into perspective. Live with humility. Love with compassion. Life is only as hard as you make it.
