Farewell 2013

It's the last day of 2013. Tomorrow it all starts up again. back to work, back to school, back to real life.

We all have a few New Years resolutions that we probably won't see through.. Just like every year before this one. But if you are one of the select few that actually follow through with resolutions, congratulations. It's funny how most people think they can only try resolutions after New Years. Resolutions aren't seasonal, you can make them at any time.

If the word "resolutions" places your dreams on a pedestal too high to come by, call it something else, like goals, or dream accomplishments or whatever you want really. Write them down if you think it will help and just be positive about it. When one door closes another one opens.

Make it one of your goals to not give up on at least one dream change. Give it your best shot, you've got nothing to lose. Except if you want to lose weight.

HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR READERS! Thank you for all the support.

This one is dedicated to every single person that felt my strange nuggets of wisdom helped them in some way. <3

Change

I had the urge to write tonight, but I don't really know what I want to write today. I guess I'm going to be all nostalgic about this year.

Or the  past few years... I have these moments where I look back on my path and reflect on how stupid, or how wise I was or still am. Change is inevitable, everyone knows that, even if they cannot accept it in their lives.

All of us have changed in one way or another over the past 5 years. The part that confuses me a bit is the fact that I personally didn't even know that I was constantly changing. Obviously I didn't receive a text reminding me that I won't be the same as I was last month. I have changed in ways and I have stayed the same in ways, which makes me wonder what it all means.. Sayings like "change is good" and "never change" confuse me. It depends on what changes and what stays the same, but then again, I don't know everything in life, so who am I to decide what's good or bad?

Personally I think change is good and we have the power to make it great with the right point of view and an open mind. I'm off to university next year, so change is a constant subject in my head.. I'm excited about the changes to come because my life was starting to feel like a routine without end.

I am scared, obviously. But I know everything will work out as the universe wants it to, I am just going along for the ride, the adventure, the experience and for the fun.

It's been a while

It has been a month since my last post! here's a quick update on it all.
I finished high school, exams weren't hard, I didn't study that much, I am officially done with the orchestra, I went on 2 matric breakaways. Both were pretty kickass. And Madiba passed on.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Madiba, Tata.
Here in front of me lies your book.
Your story, your life in a page by page look.

You changed so much in your long walk,
people fell silent when they heard you talk.

Father of the nation, known by all.
You are such an idol and you will always stand tall.

The long walk to freedom has come to an end.
You are now free, hush now Madiba.

Rest now international friend.

Not everyone liked Madiba, that much I know.. You have your opinion, and I have mine.. No person can be called perfect (except Kanye West.. but he calls himself perfect, thus making him an asshole)

Don't judge someone's past if you haven't even thought of yours.
