Boys - why are you so complicated?

Okay, so if you read my post the other day you'll know about this guy I liked. Well, I got a message the very next day from that guy saying that 2 1/2 years ago, he realised that he 'liked' me. This was like the biggest shock ever. Considering we've known each other for 5 years and he's never said anything before now; it was a real shock. The thing that sucks is that we're now on opposite sides of the planet amd he dated the girl that bullied me so its a moot point now.
Guys; WHY are you so confusing and frustrating? Honestly, it drives me crazy to think what could've been and what would've been if he had just told me.
So, here is a lesson to all you lovely - and very frustrating - guys. Tell a girl that you like her because the chances are, she really likes you too. So go for it and stop driving us out of our minds with confusion and mixed signals!

Boys... makes you wanna scream, right?

Do any of you girls have a friend who's a boy and you like him? You've liked him for years and never told him, even though he probably knows. I'm in that situation right now! Boys can be so confusing and it just makes you wanna scream because you don't know what to do. The worst thing is when they give you all these mixed signals. Like, they tell you they love you. Then they tell you they have a girlfriend. They tell you, you're amazing, or sweet, or kind. Then they don't talk to you for 2 weeks. Its enough to make anyone bury their face in a pillow and scream.
However, boys will be boys and I suppose the only way to know for sure is to ask them, right? Easier said than done, I know. Ask them though! You may think there is no way he could like you because you're not pretty or funny enough but if he's spending all that time talking to you and telling you likes you, you might as well try. The worst thing that can happen is that he says he doesn't like you in that way. So ask the guy! You never know what might happen. (And guys, please make things more obvious, because; honest to god, you are soooo confusing)
Never forget that you are beautiful and unique in your own way and a guy doesn't define you or make you better and you don't NEED a boyfriend to be happy. But just because you don't see yourself very clearly, doesn't mean other people don't. So take a big leap of faith and do it for yourself, you deserve it. Thanks soo much to those who read my blog. Guys, you're amazing and I love you all.

Friends, Fights and Sleepless Nights...

Do you ever have that friend that you fight with all the time and you don't even know why? One minute you're getting on fine and the next minute they're upset with you and you don't know what you've done wrong so then you don't know what to apologise for and it all goes out of control and you wonder how and why you got there. It's annoying isn't it? I have to admit, sometimes I can be like one of those people if I'm going through a rough time but most of the time it seems to be what happens to me. It leaves you feeling isolated and alone because those few people you speak to more than anyone else just refuse to acknowledge you are there and you don't know what to do about it. It affects your sleeping pattern because you are stressed about your friendship that seems to be falling apart around you.
So, what do you do? Do you hang on in there through all the fighting, angst and stress? or do you simply let go and move on?...

New Year, New Beginnings!

Hi everyone, welcome to the New Year! This year I will be taking much more interest in my blog and will - hopefully - be posting at least once a week for you. The New Year is a chance to make a fresh start and fulfil our New Years Resolutions. However, we often end up making the same mistakes and our New Years Resolutions only last a week or two.
My attempted New Years Resolutions this year are to post a video on my Youtube Channel and a blog post on my blog once a week, every week for the whole year, to not eat chocolate for a whole year (good luck Lara) and to try my best in everything I do.
So, here's to 2014 and making the same mistakes as last year but also hopefully learning something too. I will see you all on Friday.
Love you all soo much.
Goodbye 2013!
Bring on 2014 and hope your new year is just as fabulous as the last one.

Book Review:- The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane - Kate DiCamillo

Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost.

The book 'The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane' by Kate Dicamillo is an amazing story. I have to admit, when I picked it up I was sceptical. However, the story is amazingly written and plays on your emotions so well. Kate Dicamillo is a fantastic writer and I'm so happy to have read this book. It is so beautifully written and illustrated (by Bagram | Batoulline) and is a perfect book for both adults and children alike. There is no-one in the family who won't enjoy this story. So, if you are struggling to think of Christmas presents, may I heartily suggest this book to you. Enjoy reading and see you for my next book review
