22.48: Sharing Tonights Thoughts With My Best Friend.

I was on the bus home and I was kind of zoned out and I was thinking I am so blessed like whether you relieve in the god thing or not 

I feel lucky at least because 

I have it pretty good right, and I don't realise it 98% of the time 

I procrastinated away 4 periods, got home and managed to do some work 

I only did that because I was around people who I love and who entertain me endlessly, I have a lovely boyfriend, my brother is acting like a decent human being and my mother is awesome (albeit mildly insane) and however much she drives me insane I love the woman?

And I'm all sat in a cosy little bed (and I've just ordered a bed that looks a bit princessy and I'm excited)

Life is good and sometimes I miss it and it scares me that I don't notice all the amazing stuff I have

because one day it'll be gone, and that could be in 30 days or 30 years or maybe I'll live till 200 

but it doesn't last forever and I neglect noticing beautiful things and people because I'm so focused on the next stage

so focused on moving along and ticking off my lists of things to do that whenever I pass brought stages of really ignorant and blissful time I'm "too busy" or "too tired" to hang out and laugh and sit and watch 5 episodes of the newsroom with my mum on a Tuesday

what I'm getting at is the little stuff matters to me a whole lot more than I realised

I'm having one of those cheesy clarity moments

that's all, felt I had to share today's thoughts

The Power of Trashy Books and Television.

We all have those day's, those weeks- those times that we just need to stop thinking for a little while.

Reality shows like Keeping up with the Kardashian's, Made in Chelsea, The Only Way is Essex, are all shows we switch on as a nation to zone the hell out of our own lives. Reality shows are escapism for some people, the way that other people read books, draw or write- it's all the same thing, so don't judge people for how they escape, we all need to do our own thing.



Trashy TV shows have endless quotes or jokes that you'll use in your daily life.

Kim Kardashian's crying face is an international phenomenon.

And I am not entirely ashamed to say that I have fallen into the appalling habit of calling my friends "doll", which my mother also tends to use when she feels that I'm being too sassy for her liking.

As much as it's unhealthy to live in a world entirely dominated by those beautifully made up reality show celebrities, it can also be a good release.

Now we have to remember:
We are not the overly paid, spoilt, and entertaining stars we see on TV. They are not real and to be honest we can't act like them- because, well, it's just not socially acceptable. Enjoy it but do not be consumed by it- words to live by regarding anything you like.
