Relationships are weird.





Relationships. They are weird…. They are cool, but they are over-publicised by movies, tv shows, music, media. And, truth be told, I really think that while you are still young they can be quite over-rated!!

Man, when I was a kid I NEVER would have thought that I would still never have had a serious boyfriend by the age of 19! Movies, books, tv shows always made me think that by the time I was 14 I would be super cool and fashionable and have boyfriends alllllllll the time! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! I remember I was quite heartbroken when I turned 15 and had none of that to account for.

But, at the same time, a lot of other people were going through the same thing as me. It wasn’t just me that had high expectations of teenhood! Sitting, waiting, wishing for my epic summer adventures involving boys, boys and more boys! A lot of my friends and peers at school all seemed to have a similar dream, even though it was totally out of our grasp at that age. And I’m glad! I can’t imagine what it would have been like, me being in a relationship with a guy so young!! I would have given part of myself to soooo many guys who wouldn’t even care about me now!! And no I’m not talking about sex (I know that ran through your mind when you read that, dont deny it o.O), I’m just talking about that piece of their heart that girls give to their boyfriends/crushes/flings (kisses, snuggles, whispers of sweet nothings) even though they deny it!

To be quite honest, I’ve only been kissed – properly kissed – once in my life….. and I was 18…….. Yes, I was sweet sixteen and never been kissed ;) But I’m not happy or relieved by my kiss! I would rather be sweet nineteen and never been kissed tbh :P I’m not saying that the kiss itself was disappointing but that I am disappointed in myself for wasting something as special to me as a kiss on a guy that I now barely ever see, let alone talk to!! My lips! My kiss! Wasted on a guy who has probably forgotten about it coz he’s had so many….

Even today, though my best friend now has a boyfriend (as of two days ago :D :D) and so do most of my friends, I don’t need one. Even when my friends say, “Guuurrrl, you need a man in your life,” its ok, coz I really don’t. When I find one, terrific! But until then I will enjoy spending my precious time reflecting by myself, chilling with my best friend watching chick flicks and eating ice cream, studying hard so I can do well at uni and joking around with all my friends – without making anyone jealous. I’m not saying that you can’t do this stuff once you’ve found your other half, I’m just saying that you are only single for a small percentage of your life, and I’m gonna rock it out while I still can :D

It is quite crazy to think that there is a guy out there whom I will one day be married to…. And who knows if I have met him already or will meet him one day and know he is the one? Or if he is that guy that always gets on my nerves, or the one who right now I think is way too cool for me. Or maybe it will even be the guy that I can talk to and laugh with all the time but only see him as a friend right now. But the awesome part is… dah dah dah daaaaaaah…. I don’t need to worry about finding him right now :) if we are meant to be it will all work out in the end!

Amazing youth make me jealous

The other day I was reading We The Urban, an online magazine created by this amazing, driven 17 year old guy in North Carolina. It is so huge and successful, with thousands of followers and heaps of famous people featured inside it. How he managed to do all this, I have no idea. It just kills me how he made it for himself and I could never do that. He wanted something and he made sure he could do everything to have it! His age was no barrier to him, he just wanted it so he made it happen. How does he do it?!?

And he’s not the only young mastermind with great plans for their future that they will not let anything get in the way of! There are always stories about young eleven year olds going to university and nine year olds beating the crap out of full grown men in international IQ competitions and stuff. This frustrates me and makes me wonder, how come I’m not like that? Why is it not me that is this crazy impressive little girl with so much determination and intellect that I can start something that not even a normal adult can do, or be so much better than everyone else at something - no matter how old they are! I want to do that!!!!

In the twenty-first century, you have to be a-MAZ-ing to make an impact on this world. And I want to do that, but I just dont think I’m amazing enough…. Well, this guy certainly looks like he has a life full of success and prosperity before him, little cutie :)

Travelers

  Just driving away from the Auckland International Airport right now. Even though I wasn’t traveling anywhere, I still feel a rush as I see the groggy-looking, exhausted yet exhilarated travellers who find even their first, not so glamorous view of Auckland - the airport carpark and surrounding industrial areas - novel and exciting. I wish I could be a groggy-looking traveller, except I wouldn’t be getting off at the Auckland airport, but at the Bangkok or Brazilian airport. My dream job would be to be a travel writer. Can you imagine being paid to travel and write about your adventures?

Feeling Lonely

  It’s weird how one second I can feel so happy, so popular, like life has never been any better… And then suddenly Christmas and New Year’s are over. Most of my friends are away on camping trips etc and have probably forgotten about me. My guy mates have all either devoted their attention to another girl, creeped me out by admitting their true - unrequited, I might add - feelings for me, or separated themselves from me, somewhat, for various reasons such as me being annoying and stuff like that…… I dont have as many shifts at work, so I have nothing to fill my time with. My bestest best friend can’t hang out with me at all this week coz her family is leaving the country soon so she has to spend as much time as possible with them while she still can. My sister is working a whole heap of extra hours coz she’s saving up to go to Tanzania. My FAMILY is going away without me for a long weekend coz I have uni and I cant miss it. So pretty much I am going to be very alone for a bit. Even though I will be staying with people when my family go away, I dont plan on spending much time with them coz I dont really know them at all. 
This new year isn’t off to a particularly great start………
