Rain. Not many people like the rain, it makes them sad, cold, and they don't feel like they can go outside, because well, who wants to get caught in the rain? Personally, I love it. To be honest, I love having an excuse to stay in. To sit down, cuddle up in front of the fire and watch a really good film. Or just sit down listening to the rain bounce off the windowpane and read a gripping book. It does make me feel saddened and cold, but it's what you do with that coldness and darkness that counts. But one of my main reasons for loving the rain is that it's an excuse to be alone. To not get involved with any drama, I can sit alone with my thoughts and think. Maybe think about big ideas, or something small. But I do some of my best thinking when it rains. I think you also give yourself a lot of perspective when you think a lot, but that's a whole other topic. So try it, grab a good book or film while it's raining and just relax or even sit alone with your thoughts. I promise you it makes the world feel brighter, even if the heavens are dark.

Those Days' So have you ever had one of 'those days'? You know, the ones when you cannot see the bright side of any situation, when all you want to do is cry, but you don't because, well, what's that going to do? It isn't going to solve your problem, it isn't going to magically make everything better. No, all it is going to do is make you feel worse. That's how I view it anyway. I love certain aspects of #life, how complicated and messy it can get, how incredibly happy you can be, the small things in #life, the big things in #life, the momentous moments in our lives, #life's miracles, #life's regrets, everything about it I find fascinating. But today I can only see the negatives, as I have just had one of 'those days'. I really don't see what good has come out of today. Is that Pessimistic or Realistic? I don't know...

Believe In Bigger I know a few people who don't like romantic films or novels because they think that it gives the viewer or the reader false hope. I know that many people share this same view. But personally I love watching the relationship unravel on the screen. I love seeing their back story, where they came from and how they got there. I love seeing how they meet or how they separate. I love seeing why they love or hate each other. I love seeing the immediate connection, or one that has to be worked on. I love the entire reason for them. I think they do the job they were made to do. They make me believe in something bigger, something that cannot be explained or proved scientifically, it just is. I don't care that these people on the screen are actors. For that hour and a 1/2, I invest in Jack and Rose or Allie and Noah or even 1/2 an hour of the classic Ross and Rachel. Maybe that makes me easy to please. But the point of our being is to find someone we truly love and cherish. So what if it's made to look like the perfect relationship that everyone wants. We all know there not, if all was perfect, #life would be boring. So sit down with a good romcom, and for that hour and a 1/2, believe in something bigger. Love.

The Power Of Words So from my Bio you can see that I love words. I really do, I think that everything we say should mean something, because if we go round with the attitude that the words that we say to other people don't mean anything, then we are lying to ourselves. Everything we say means something to someone. Words can make or break the people around us. This is because words are powerful. They have an affect on other people no matter what you do. I've been hurt by words, just like most people have. So you know that those people who say "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" are lying, because they do. So don't use them to hurt someone. Instead make someone's day, give them a compliment which you mean. Make your words count.
