Goodbye 2010

I'm so glad it's nearly over. Here's to hoping that 2011 will be much better.

Pursuit of Happiness

12 weeks. 160 hours. 11 toddlers & babies. My placement at childcare has officially ended. Although I spent a large amount of time complaining about how tiring it was, the kids made it all worthwhile. They are actually amazing, and making them smile is just the best feeling. I am going to miss every single one of them, I'm going to miss their love for cheese, their (sometimes) toothless grins, and their Weetbix-scented hair.

In other news, I went to the RetroStar warehouse sale yesterday with T. Started the day with a broken eyelash + early morning Maccas. We got both lost and saved by T's GPS navigation skills, finding $15 just lying on the ground along the way. We considered giving up, but I'm so glad we didn't, because I ended up finding some lovely stuff! I rummaged through many racks of clothing and dodged the growing crowd of vintage-hungry indie kidz (no offence!), to find a pastel floral dress, maroon floaty top, a grey woollen jumper, and a semi-space printed dress. I want a light-filled home.

FOREVER ALONE.

Now playing: Paramore - Let This Go
One day you'll get sick of saying that everything's alright
And by then, I'm sure I'll be pretending just like I am tonight.

It's Just Your Doubt That Blinds You

looking through the drinking glass (as you do), i cut 4cm off the ends of my hair, lace + lilac nails, unedited sepia sky (forrealz), toasted sandwiches are luff, 'nuff said, drinking hot chocolate with the fan OFF, $8 shoes.

The other day, a friend and I did what we could to avoid a potentially awkward encounter with someone we used to know. I say 'used to know' because we don't keep in regular contact with that person any longer, and while I still care about said person, I can't say the same for them. But that got me thinking, is that what will eventually happen to those we know now? Is it inevitable that as people grow distant and drift apart, we become incapable of striking up a conversation with them, to even approach them? That is unfortunate. However, I suppose I should be grateful that as people come and go, I'll learn who are the ones that are meant to be a part of my life pernamently. As for those who leave, I'll learn to appreciate the good moments, and the memories I was lucky enough to share with them. Thou shalt not be bitter, and linger on things that don't matter anymore.

Now playing: The Academy Is.. - One More Weekend

You'll forget.
You'll grow out of hanging from the edges,
Breaking off the past.
You'll know when to move up,
You'll know when to take all the right chances, never looking back.

What A Tangled Mess You've Turned Out To Be

1. The All-American Rejects make me so happy, or in this case, sad and lonely.
2. It's the gorgeous kids at placement that make it worth it + actually bearable.
3. I want this. Credit/source.
4. Milo cereal in a cup = ♥
5. My lovely sister and I back in '09.
6. Avocado, salmon, mayo, and tomato in a sandwich.

7 Deadly Sins?

Now playing: Jimmy Eat World - Carry You

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed.
I'm still carrying a little hope that
Maybe things could get different now
Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?
