New Love New love, it's short and sweet. It starts off with the butterflies in your stomach, the "can't stop smiling", the nervous and exciting thoughts running though your mind. Then comes the closeness, holding each others hand, surrounding each other with your arms, kissing endlessly. But then. Its not new love, its irritating, the sweaty hands, the slimy kiss, the arms restricting all movement. However some people get over that and live happy forever, but I'm not them, I'm the one who ends up buying a cat instead. I now have 11.
Teen Years So they say, "teens- the best years of your #life", whoever says this I am happy to listen. But i beg to differ; perhaps you weren't a teenager in the past decade? Let me explain to you what you may not remember about being a teenager: • Growing pains causing you to get cramp for hours • Being treat as a child yet convinced you are no longer one • Government and society constantly looking down on you as a stereotype • Friends self-harming/commuting suicide because they can no longer cope with the pressure • Not having any money and no one will give you a job • Drugs taken as a casual thing, "have some, go on!" They say. • Alcohol, poisoning your brain even though you intended to be drinking coke? • Parents getting in the way of social #life • No privacy • People pressuring you for sex • Self-conscious: am I fat, too skinny, too tall, too small, is my nose too big, wh is my hair so frizzy, I need a six pack, me boobs are too small, I need to wear fashionable things This is only one side of being a teenager, I'm a happy teenager and one of the best behaving and educated, yet these things are constantly in my face and it causes a lot of stress and weight on my shoulders.
SUMMER Today it feels like summer, celebrate it, do not complain of bees and wasps, but welcome them. The sun is hot, bathe in it, lie on the newly cut grass, feel the prickles in between your fingers. The sky is blue, get the BBQ out, have a feast, have a laugh. Because at the end of the day, summer won't last.
